Preface to the Second Revised Edition

The second revised edition is published.
When I published the first revised edition, I kept in mind the parts that I had left untouched, removed or corrected them, and added new content.
The main direction of this revision was set to get closer to the field of Korean language grammar education.
To this end, instead of boldly reducing the portion on phonological theory, we aimed to add content that would be helpful for prospective Korean language teachers and Korean language teachers to explore and teach Korean phonology.
In particular, while explaining the phonological system and change phenomena, we aimed to provide more ideas that can be used when reconstructing phonological unit classes or guiding students to directly confirm the process and method of pronunciation through the vocal organs.
In addition, we have strengthened the content that allows for the study of the phonological phenomena of modern Korean in relation to the history of phonology, and the content that has been emphasized since the first edition to help readers understand grammatical norms in relation to phonological changes.

Phonological education is primarily a field that teaches knowledge about speech sounds.
However, Korean language education should go beyond that and lead learners to take an interest in and explore various linguistic phenomena related to speech sounds, while also encouraging them to reflect on their own linguistic life and that of those around them.
To this end, it is necessary to consider that the content of phonological education is based on linguistic phonological knowledge, but is reconstructed according to the goals and needs of Korean language education.
I hope that this book will be of practical help to prospective Korean language teachers studying at teacher training colleges and to Korean language teachers already in the classroom, in viewing phonological knowledge from the perspective of Korean language education, and in reconstructing valuable and interesting educational content related to speech sounds based on this knowledge.

I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Park So-eun and Professor Eun Dong-hyeon, who read the manuscript of the last revised edition and provided much helpful advice.
