Korean is the seventh most commonly spoken language in the United States, and Korean heritage students―those with some proficiency in or a cultural connection to the language through family or community―make up a substantial portion of Korean learners at the college level. Many schools offer a separate heritage track for learning Korean, but until now there has been no textbook designed specifically for heritage learners as well as the increasing number of students from diverse backgrounds who are interested in pursuing intensive learning to build on their prior experience with Korean. Integrated Korean: Accelerated 1 and 2 directly address the linguistic needs and abilities of heritage and accelerated learners in a single academic year. Volume 1 presents lessons on thematically organized subjects, starting with familiar topics such as family, friends, daily routines, schoolwork, campus activities, dining out, and shopping. Volume 2 advances to more formal subjects beyond family and friends, such as travel, transportation, housing, holidays, lifestyles, careers, and Korean history and culture. Students approach the lessons with multilevel communicative classroom activities and reading materials with standards-based exercises and projects that not only address the particular language requirements of heritage learners, but also encourage them to participate more fully in their own family and community life. Each volume's textbook and workbook offer authentic conversations and texts in both informal and formal contexts, structured tasks, and a wealth of interesting and relevant cultural content. Integrated Korean is a project of the Korean Language Education and Research Center (KLEAR) with the support of the Korea Foundation. In addition to the five-level Integrated Korean textbooks and workbooks, vol-umes include Korean Composition, Korean Language in Culture and Soci-ety, Korean Reader for Chinese Characters, Readings in Modern Korean Lit-erature, A Resource for Korean Grammar Instruction, and Selected Read-ings in Korean.

This is a thoroughly revised edition of Integrated Korean: Advanced 1, the seventh volume of the best-selling series developed collaboratively by leading classroom teachers and linguists of Korean. All the series' volumes have been developed in accordance with performance-based principles and methodology--contextualization, learner-centeredness, use of authentic materials, usage-orientedness, balance between skill getting and skill using, and integration of speaking, listening, reading, writing, and culture. Grammar points are systematically introduced in simple but adequate explanations and abundant examples and exercises. All lessons are content-based and address a wide variety of topics chosen to meet students' interests and needs. Authentic examples of texts provided include poems, news articles, speeches, and essays. Each content-based lesson consists of objectives, pre-lesson topics, and reading, further reading, and culture sections. Reading sections contain comprehension questions, grammar and usage, and activities; further reading sections are accompanied by their own comprehensive activities. To ensure students' accurate understanding of the material, English translations of all Korean texts are given at the end of each chapter. Vocabulary for each lesson appears conveniently at the bottom of the page. Integrated Korean is a project of the Korean Language Education and Research Center (KLEAR) with the support of the Korea Foundation. In addition to course textbooks and workbooks, KLEAR volumes include the Korean Reader for Chinese Characters, Korean Composition, Selected Readings in Korean, Readings in Modern Korean Literature, Korean Language in Culture and Society, and A Resource for Korean Grammar Instruction. A Dictionary of Korean Grammar and Usage is forthcoming. Audio files for Advanced 1 may be downloaded in MP3 format at https://kleartextbook.com.
