"Sogang Korean Writing Book 1A" is different from other writing materials in that learners write after speaking interactions. This teaching method is based on the values of the Sogang teaching method, which emphasizes the importance of interaction between learners in the writing learning process, as well as the results obtained through writing activities.
"Seogang Korean Writing Book 1A" enables pronunciation correction and review of words, sentences, etc. through speaking interaction between learners. From the instructor's point of view, it is easy to monitor all students by conducting classes in pairs or groups even when there are a large number of students, and the correction between learners reduces the level deviation between learners, making it possible to give feedback efficiently.
The "Seogang Korean Writing Book 1A" is primarily designed for students practicing with their peers and instructors, but it also provides many conveniences for self-learners.
"Seogang Korean Writing Book 1A" is organized as follows for the convenience of learners and instructors.
1. It is published in color for beginner learners who need visual information such as photos and drawings.
2. We analyzed the text types and activities of existing writing books and organized them into various texts and activities.
3. We have provided additional extended words and English translations at the bottom of the textbook that are not presented in the main textbook (student book).
4. We have included MP3s of dictation activities that can be done in pairs in the classroom and linked to QR codes for self-study.
5. The answer key is included in the appendix. In cases where there are multiple possible answers, we have included example sentences or sample texts.
We hope this book will be a useful resource for Korean language learners to make writing more fun and for Korean language instructors to give effective feedback.
