Sogang Korean (3rd Edition) Hangeul

Learning Hangeul is often completed within a week at most institutions. However, as the accurate acquisition of Hangeul is crucial for further Korean language learning, many Korean language teachers, both domestically and abroad, have expressed significant interest in the Hangeul teaching methods of the Korean Language Education Center at Sogang University. In response to this demand, the revised 3rd edition of Sogang Korean 1A1B includes a newly published textbook based on the Center’s practical Hangeul teaching methodology. This textbook is built on the classroom activities used by instructors at Sogang University’s Korean Language Education Center and is designed to support self-learning and repetitive practice. It also incorporates short video lessons on Hangeul pronunciation to enhance the learning experience. Key Features of Sogang Korean Hangeul: Step-by-Step Learning: The sequence of learning Hangeul consonants and vowels is organized progressively based on difficulty levels. Color-Coding for Easy Differentiation: Consonants are color-coded for easy distinction, and related consonants (plain, aspirated, and tense sounds) are marked with the same color to facilitate memory through association. Diverse Classroom Activities: Hangeul learning is integrated into speaking, reading, listening, and game-based classroom activities to ensure an engaging and dynamic learning experience. Detailed Teaching Aids: The book provides detailed explanations of classroom activities along with ready-to-use resources such as letter boards and game materials. QR-Linked Videos: Short videos on Hangeul pronunciation are accessible via QR codes, enabling self-learning and repeated practice. This textbook aims to make learning Hangeul more enjoyable for Korean language learners while serving as a practical and effective resource for instructors teaching Hangeul in their classrooms.
