Introduction to Korean as a Second Language introduces the basic linguistic make-up of Korean and provides basic knowledge of second language acquisition and up-to-date research on how Korean is learned by adult second language learners (L2 Korean learners).
The book synthesizes the existing research and suggests future directions for this relatively new but rapidly growing field. The book covers topics such as the Korean sound system, word and phrase structures of Korean, and meaning in Korean, making it a great resource for those who want to deepen their understanding of the Korean language.
This textbook is ideal for use in Korean linguistics courses, and teaching and learning Korean as a foreign language courses. The book would also be good supplementary material for Korean language classes.
