A new English conversation textbook series focused specifically on Korean students of English. No more struggling to modify materials to appeal to your students, no more trying to figure out how to incorporate Korean culture and Konglish into your lessons, no more wishing for activities specifically targeting the needs of Korean students - it's all in here already.

These books were co-written by the author of 1stopKorea.com

The Speaking for Everyday Life approach is to present dialogs, vocabulary and activities that are related to everyday life in Korea, encouraging students to speak about things they are familiar with while having fun with the numerous language and cultural activities included in each unit. Although the focus is on improving speaking skills; additional listening and writing activities are included in each unit.

Features
Each unit starts with a short introductory activity designed to establish the unit's theme and create a need for the vocabulary and grammar points taught on the following pages. Next, vocabulary practice and dialogs model the expressions and grammar points.

Most importantly, students are then set free to enjoy the numerous activities that serve to practice the language in a less structured, more natural setting. Wrapping up each unit are listening activities, a Konglish section, and free talking questions designed to address any remaining weak points, while further improving the targeted listening and speaking skills.

Available in bookstores throughout the peninsula.
