Intermediate Korean: A Grammar and Workbook is a sequel to its sister

volume Basic Korean: A Grammar and Workbook, and it likewise focuses


on providing an accessible reference grammar explanation and related
exercises in a single volume. It is designed for independent English-speaking
adult Korean-as-a-foreign-language (KFL) learners who intend to maintain
and strengthen their knowledge of essential Korean grammar and for
classroom-based learners who are looking for supplemental grammar
explanations and practices. Consequently, this book differs from existing
KFL materials whose primary purpose is to help KFL learners acquire
four language skills, such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing as well
as cultural knowledge.
The layout of this book also differs from those of existing KFL mater-
ials. For instance, a typical KFL textbook chapter may include model dia-
logues, followed by vocabulary lists, grammar explanations, cultural notes,
and exercises. In contrast, following the pattern of Basic Korean and other
Grammar Workbooks of the Routledge series, every unit of Intermediate
Korean focuses on presenting jargon-free and concise grammar explana-
tions, followed by relevant grammar exercises.
This book has 24 units, and it does not take a functional-situational
approach in grouping and/or sequencing target grammatical points. Rather
it sequences and covers grammatical points according to their grammatical
categories (e.g., sentence endings, conjunctives, particles, and so on), so
that learners can use the book as a reference material as well as a practice
material. The exercises at the end of each unit are designed primarily to
reinforce the target grammatical points.
All Korean entries are presented in Hangul (the Korean alphabet) with
English translations to facilitate understanding. Accordingly, it requires
that learners familiarize themselves with Hangul, before going on to the
book. In addition, when translating Korean entries into English, efforts
were made to reflect the Korean meaning as closely as possible.
Consequently,
some learners may feel certain English translations do not reflect typical
English usages. However, the direct translation approach was employed
for pedagogical purposes.
