Part 4│A Preview of the CSAT

For middle school students who will be studying with the new Korean language textbook starting next year
All the works from 10 revised textbooks are included in one volume!

ㆍ Works carefully selected by the 2022 revised textbook writing team in line with the new curriculum
ㆍ Friendly and informative explanations of key concepts and post-reading activities
ㆍ Pre-examined college entrance exam-style questions

In 2025, textbooks will change.
Starting from the first year of middle school next year, students will be studying with newly compiled textbooks according to the 2022 revised curriculum.
For prospective middle school students and their parents, who are already burdened by the changing learning environment and the rapidly increasing number of subjects, the revised textbooks are bound to be another concern.
Accordingly, Changbi Education, a Korean language education publishing company that has continued the myth of 100% passing rate with its black textbooks, is introducing the 'Korean Language One Book' series to help prospective middle school students easily prepare for middle school Korean language.

'One Korean Book' contains literary and non-literary works from 10 Korean language textbooks, one volume each.
Although the ten textbooks each contain different texts, the criteria for selecting the works are the same.
This is because any textbook must include works that meet the 'achievement standards' according to the changed curriculum.
'One Korean Book' took note of this and carefully selected hundreds of works from 10 textbooks to meet achievement standards.
Additionally, current Korean language teachers who compiled the revised middle school textbooks directly participated in selecting works, planning activities, and creating problems, further enhancing their expertise and practicality.


『Korean Language One Book: Middle School 1st Grade Literature』groups various literary works, including poetry, novels, essays, and screenplays, according to the achievement standards of the 'literature' area: 'rhyme, metaphor, and symbolism,' 'character growth,' and 'progression and resolution of conflict.'
In addition, by introducing a selection of works ranging from textbook staples like “The Sky is Clear,” “The Story of Hong Gildong,” and “The Bicycle Thief,” to works that are being introduced for the first time in textbooks, such as poet Na Tae-ju’s “On a Starry Night” and the screenplay for the movie “I Can Speak,” we helped prospective middle school students gain confidence in literature after a broad examination of the works.
In line with the new textbook implementation period, 'Korean Language One Book: Middle School 2nd Grade' is scheduled to be published in 2025, and 'Korean Language One Book: Middle School 3rd Grade' is scheduled to be published in 2026.

◆◆◆ Special Features of 'Korean One Book' ◆◆◆

① Compact ‘one volume’: Only the major works included in the first year of middle school Korean language textbooks are selected and placed in one volume each for literature and non-literature, making them easy to read.

② Table of contents according to achievement standards: Various works under the same achievement standards are presented by branch and concept to help students naturally learn the flow of how achievement standards are applied in textbooks.

③ Friendly guidance from the 2022 revised textbook writers: For readers unfamiliar with the concepts of the subject, the current teachers who wrote the new textbook added friendly explanations at the beginning and end of each section and at the beginning of the work.

④ Post-reading activities to improve reading comprehension: For each work, activities that allow readers to check the content of the text and activities that allow readers to reach achievement standards are provided together to improve the quality of reading comprehension and strengthen Korean language learning skills.

⑤ A taste of the CSAT: The end of the book contains CSAT-style problems and explanations using the included works, to help relieve middle school students' vague curiosity and anxiety about the CSAT.
