Providing local customized educational materials through multilingualization and localization

The King Sejong Institute Foundation supplies the <Sejong Korean Conversation Workbook 1-1~4-2> with <Sejong Korean Conversation 1-4> so that foreign learners studying Korean can deepen their speaking and listening skills.

The workbooks have been divided into 8 books considering the 'Sejong Korean Conversation' curriculum in which one book is spread across two semesters. Workbooks 1-1~2-2 are for beginners and 3-1~4-2 are for intermediate learners. The main textbook and units have been differentiated by presenting additional vocabulary and pronunciation learning contents and providing abundant practice opportunities so that Korean conversation classes can be operated in a wide range of ways according to the educational conditions of KSI branches around the world

△In △‘Vocabulary Practice’, learners can practice the target vocabulary presented in this textbook; in △‘Vocabulary Expansion’, learners can learn additional vocabulary related to the topic of each unit; in △'Expression Practice', practice questions are provided to present information using the form of the target expression and to construct sentences or short dialogues.

In ‘Pronounce,' learners learn the pronunciation of the unit's listening passage or example dialogue; in ‘Read and Write,' learners complete practical reading and writing tasks related to the subject of each unit; in 'Check,' learners have the opportunity to self-evaluate; and the ‘Activity Sheet’ provides opportunities for learners to engage in advanced speaking tasks that allow them to use the vocabulary, grammar, and discourse learned earlier in a meaningful context.

Unlike the textbook, which is provided in Korean and English only, the workbook is provided in twelve different languages (English, Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Mongolian, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, and Uzbek), and the linguistic and cultural specificities of each culture have been well reflected. In particular, the workbook is meaningful in that it is a an educational material that was developed by collecting the opinions of teachers in order to enable locals to learn in a participatory manner after directly using the workbook in classes at ten local King Sejong Institutes.

Anyone can view and download the workbook for free at Nuri-Sejong Hakdang (nuri.iksi.or.kr), and learners can also discover auxiliary materials such as △guidebooks for teachers, △PowerPoint-based lecture materials, △sound source files, and △word cards, which are easy to use.
