Bring your Korean conversation skills up to the next level! Korean is currently the fastest growing second language in the US, with a 95 percent increase in learners in the last 10 years. As students move to the intermediate and upper-levels of language study, there is a lack of materials for both classroom teachers and self-study students to develop conversation skills. This book meets that need with a collection of thought-provoking reading passages about controversial and topical subjects including Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Currency, and Declining Birthrate.
The book helps students develop the following language skills:
- Intermediate reading skills, with interesting reading passages about controversial topics
- Expanded vocabulary for everyday conversations on a variety of subjects
- Consolidation of intermediate-level grammar, based on the language in the reading passages
- The ability to support opinions in Korean writing and in speech
- The art of persuasion and the use of sophisticated verbal and written strategies in Korean
The topics and reading passages increase in difficulty as you progress with the opening chapters aimed at lower-intermediate learners, leading up to a more advanced level by the end of the book. Free online audio recordings are available along with a comprehensive Korean-English glossary.
