Learning Korean Learning Korean Through Tasks High Beginner to Low Intermediate

  Task-based language teaching (TBLT) has become one of the major approaches to teaching foreign and second languages in use today. Research within the fields of second language acquisition (SLA) and TBLT has provided evidence supporting the benefits of tasks in promoting language learning.The textbook presents pedagogic and real-world speaking and writing tasks as the basis of its organization. The target audience of the textbook includes high beginner to low intermediate Korean language learners in both Korean as a foreign language (KFL) and Korean as a second language (KSL) contexts. A defining characteristic of the textbook is that all tasks were designed, tested, and revised based on their use in actual Korean language classes. The in-class task performance process offers invaluable opportunities for using the Korean language in meaningful communicative contexts and drives Korean language learners to become Korean language users.   PrefaceTask-Based Approaches to Language TeachingHighlights of the BookHow to Use this BookUseful Information regarding How to Interpret Task InputReferencesAcknowledgementsChapter 01 l Posts on a Course WebsiteTask 1 Write a Post about a Korean Lunar New Year (설날) Event You AttendedTask 2 Write a Post about Memorable EventsTask 3 Create a Podcast about a Korean Cultural EventTask 4 Real World Task: Make a Presentation to Introduce a Memorable Family EventChapter 02 l EmailsTask 1 Request an Override in a Korean ClassTask 2 Apply for a Korean Study Abroad ProgramTask 3 Present Study Abroad Program Experiences to Your Korean ProfessorTask 4 Real World Task: Write an Email to Your Korean ProfessorChapter 03 l Text MessagesTask 1 Text a Friend about Spring BreakTask 2 Text a Friend to Plan a Double DateTask 3 Text a Friend to Plan a Study SessionTask 4 Real World Task: Text a Friend to Make Plans for the WeekendChapter 04 l Social Media PostsTask 1 Write a Social Media Post about a Family TripTask 2 Write a Social Media Post about Your High School ReunionTask 3 Post a Video on Social Media about Your High School FriendsTask 4 Real World Task: Write a Social Media Post about a Memorable EventChapter 05 l Phone ConversationsTask 1 Talk on the Phone to Plan Korean Cultural Festival EventsTask 2 Talk on the Phone to Discuss Changing a Presentation DateTask 3 Leave a Voicemail Message to Request a Change in Presentation DateTask 4 Real World Task: Leave a Voicemail Message for Your Korean ProfessorChapter 06 l PostcardsTask 1 Write a Postcard to Your Friend while Studying in KoreaTask 2 Write a Postcard to a Friend You Met during Study Abroad in KoreaTask 3 Send a Video Message to a Friend You Met during Study Abroad in KoreaTask 4 Real World Task: Send a Postcard to Your FriendChapter 07 l BlogsTask 1 Write a Shopping Blog PostTask 2 Write a Blog Post for a Moving SaleTask 3 Create a Product Review Video on Your Shopping BlogTask 4 Real World Task: Create a Product Review Video on Your Shopping BlogChapter 08 l VlogsTask 1 Make a Vlog Entry Comparing Korean Restaurants before VisitingTask 2 Make a Vlog Entry after Visiting a Korean RestaurantTask 3 Write a Vlog Entry Script about Visiting KoreaTask 4 Real World Task: Create a Vlog Entry about Your Favorite Places in TownAppendicesVocabulary Index 1 (Korean - English)Vocabulary Index 2 (English - Korean)Task Worksheets Weight : 674gSize : 210 * 280* 17 mmPage : 296
