This textbook was developed as a "Korean for Academic Purposes" to systematically improve the Korean communication skills required for international students to achieve academic success in Korean undergraduate and graduate programs.
As the number of international students increases, the need for specialized textbooks for academic Korean language learners is growing.
This textbook differentiates itself from existing general Korean language textbooks by systematically presenting specialized vocabulary and expressions essential for covering academic topics, and supports international students in actively participating in classes at Korean universities.

Furthermore, it goes beyond mere theoretical learning and includes various examples and practical activities to cultivate the thinking and logical expression skills required in real-world academic environments, helping students communicate confidently in academic conversations.

In particular, this textbook provides practical guidance to help international students successfully adapt to academic and research at Korean universities and graduate schools, and was developed with the goal of systematic learning that comprehensively improves academic thinking and logical communication skills.
Through this, we aim to support international students to have a successful study abroad life in Korea.

『Korean Language and Culture』 can effectively assist international students in learning Korean language and culture in the following ways.
First, the "Reading Real-World Situations" section of each lecture presents situations international students may encounter in real-life Korean life, allowing them to learn the language and culture in a real-world context.

Second, the questions in the "Let's Talk" section help students develop interest in their own culture and other cultures and enhance cultural sensitivity by comparing and analyzing their own culture with Korean culture.

Third, the "Let's Read" section provides in-depth explanations of specific topics, enabling students to understand detailed aspects of Korean culture.

Fourth, the 'Understanding Vocabulary and Expressions' section directly contributes to improving students' Korean language skills by allowing them to learn and practically use important vocabulary and expressions related to the topic.

Fifth, the 'Content Check' section allows students to check how well they have understood the content they have learned, enabling effective self-directed learning.

Sixth, the 'Activity' section is designed to enhance sociolinguistic skills and cultural sensitivity by providing a variety of activities that can help students digest and apply the main content of each lecture.

Finally, the 26-lecture structure covers a wide range of topics encompassing various aspects of Korean culture and language.
This includes body language, use of honorifics, Korean educational culture, workplace etiquette, holiday customs, food culture, popular culture, historical events, and social issues.
The diverse topics and content of this textbook help international students develop a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of Korean society and the ability to respond appropriately to diverse situations encountered in real life.
Moreover, this wide range of topics keeps learners interested and allows them to develop deep insights into Korean culture.

Through these features, "Korean Language and Culture" helps international students improve their Korean language skills while developing a deeper understanding of Korean culture and the ability to adapt.
By providing an integrated foundation of linguistic knowledge and cultural understanding, this textbook lays the foundation for international students to successfully communicate and adapt to their studies and daily lives in Korea.
