A systematic Korean language textbook for academic learners.
[University Korean for International Students] Series

This book is a revised edition of 『University Korean for International Students』, created by the Language Education Center of Ewha Womans University for international students. It is a Korean language textbook designed to help learners with intermediate or higher Korean language skills develop the listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills required for university (graduate school) in a balanced manner.
As Korea's influence abroad has grown due to economic development and the Korean Wave, the number of international students coming to study in Korea has steadily increased.
And among international students, the number of those coming to Korea not only to learn basic Korean but also to complete formal education courses at universities or graduate schools is steadily increasing.
Accordingly, the Ewha Womans University Language Education Center has been continuously operating a Korean language education program for international students to ensure that they do not experience difficulties in their studies due to lack of knowledge and language skills in their academic fields upon entering university (graduate school).
And the 『University Korean for International Students』 series is a book series designed to help international students acquire advanced language skills that will enable them to take undergraduate and graduate classes, based on the educational experience and continuous research of these language education centers.


This series was first published in 2008, when there was a lack of advanced Korean language textbooks for academic research purposes. Since then, it has been consistently loved as a textbook for lectures not only at Ewha Womans University Language Education Center but also at many Korean language education institutions.
This revised edition is the latest learning material, newly presented by the Ewha Womans University Language Education Center, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year since it began teaching Korean. It is a new learning material that incorporates the Korean language education know-how accumulated while conducting Korean language classes using the first edition textbook.
This series, designed to organically link listening and speaking in spoken language with reading and writing in written language, is divided into Level 1 and Level 2, and each level is divided into 'Listening and Speaking' and 'Reading and Writing'.
Unlike the previous 『University Korean for International Students』, this revised edition presents strategies for listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and is meticulously structured to help students develop their ability to utilize these strategies while completing assignments.
Another unique feature of this textbook is that it selects a variety of topics frequently encountered in university liberal arts courses, such as language and culture, education and art, science and politics, for each unit, thereby helping to broaden the general liberal arts knowledge of students studying abroad for academic purposes.
The text is printed in full color on all pages, and you can see various photographs and illustrations related to the content of each unit in vivid color.

The newly published 『University Korean for International Students 2: Reading and Writing』 is a Korean language textbook that focuses on training the reading and writing aspects of language. It is designed to help students learn the basic vocabulary and grammar necessary for reading and writing activities and improve their reading and writing skills through strategic activities for each unit.
Reading interesting texts related to each unit's topic and consistently practicing the writing activities suggested in the textbook will greatly help international students improve their Korean language skills.
