“In 2025, high school students will study using the new Korean language textbook.”
Nine revised textbooks in one volume!
A bestseller chosen by students, parents, and teachers

The proven series 'Reading Korean Language Textbooks', which was first introduced in 2010 and has been chosen by 2.2 million readers, has been republished in its latest revised edition.
Changbi's 'Reading Korean Textbooks' has been published in revised editions in accordance with the new curriculum since its first edition, and with the implementation of the '2022 Revised Curriculum', it is publishing the latest revised edition in preparation for the new Korean textbooks in 2025.
In this curriculum, high school Korean language textbooks were reorganized into ‘Common Korean Language 1’ and ‘Common Korean Language 2’.
With the introduction of the 'high school credit system' where credits are earned each semester, high school students earn credits through various elective subjects, but the common Korean language is still required to be learned, not as an elective.


Recently, as students' literacy skills have been declining due to not knowing the meaning of words and having difficulty understanding texts or understanding the context of texts they read, this has become a hot topic in schools.
Current Korean language teachers agree that starting with reading the original text of a Korean language textbook and building reading skills helps improve literacy.
Korean is the foundation for learning all subjects, and by establishing a solid foundation in Korean, critical and creative thinking skills can also be strengthened.
The latest revised edition of Changbi's 'Reading Korean Textbooks' has been strengthened with a customized structure that helps build a foundation for literacy and improve Korean language skills.


The latest revised edition of Changbi's 'Reading Korean Language Textbook Works' is organized by genre: poetry, novels, essays, and non-fiction, with the works included in the 18 volumes of the newly revised common Korean language textbooks in 9 categories.
This book is a diverse collection of essential works that are repeatedly included in various textbooks, works that convey a new era and sensibility, and works that should be read carefully and thoughtfully even if they may seem unfamiliar and difficult at first.
We also provide helpful texts for deeper appreciation, provide detailed definitions for each work, and provide activities to help students reach the new curriculum's achievement standards and improve literacy.
With nearly 15 years of accumulated expertise and the trust of countless readers, "Reading Korean Textbooks" is not only the perfect preparation for the changing textbooks, but also serves as a stepping stone for building a solid foundation in the Korean language.


*The latest revised edition of the 'Reading Korean Language Textbooks' series is scheduled to be published in 2025 for the 2nd grade middle school series and in 2026 for the 3rd grade middle school series, in line with the development of new textbooks.


Features of "Reading Korean Language Textbook Works: Advanced Essays and Non-Fiction" (Revised Edition)

ㆍ Based on the 9 revised high school common Korean language textbooks, carefully selected by current Korean language teachers

According to the revised 2022 curriculum, high school students will be required to study common Korean language starting in 2025.
All essays and non-fiction texts included in 18 volumes of 9 common Korean language textbooks were carefully read and analyzed by current Korean language teachers.
Considering the objectives of the curriculum, 35 essays and non-fiction pieces selected from nine textbooks were included, along with classic essays.


Strengthening the inclusion of non-literary prose, including media areas added in the revised curriculum.

In order to prepare for the non-literature section of the Korean language section of the College Scholastic Ability Test, the number of non-literature prose pieces has been increased, and they have been organized by subject, such as humanities and arts, society and culture, and science and technology, which students find particularly difficult, to make them easy to understand at a glance.
In particular, media was grouped into a separate topic to help with learning the newly established media area in the 2022 revised curriculum.


Strengthening of post-reading activities and supportive writing to enhance self-directed appreciation and literacy.

Each work includes helpful notes and post-reading activities tailored to the curriculum, allowing students to digest the text on their own and expand their thinking.
In particular, to support media convergence learning, which is emphasized in this revised curriculum, we have strengthened reading activities and added vocabulary learning activities that form the basis of literacy.
