The Famous People in Korean History 역사 인물로 배우는 한국어 1392~1945 . A textbook of Korean history and culture covering six themes!
Thanks to the rising global interest in K-pop and K-contents, more people around the world are learning Korean than ever before. Their motivations vary from pursuing it as a hobby to engaging in research and academic studies or even advancing their careers. Whatever the interest may be, the overall number of Korean learners is growing at a noticeable pace. This phenomenon is observed in North America and Asia as well as in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, indicating that Korean language education is gaining momentum worldwide. Also remarkable is the fact that the surge in students majoring or minoring in the Korean language is concurrent with the growing interest in Korean culture and history. In response to the enthusiasm, THE FAMOUS PEOPLE IN KOREAN HISTORY was designed to offer culture-oriented language teaching methods. It features a curated selection of historical figures organized by six themes that align with students’ interests inside and outside the classroom. Each story is chosen to enrich the learning experience of Korean learners across the world. By critically examining the historical figures’ lives and achievements, the book aims to foster a balanced perspective encompassing both a fact-based understanding of language and culture as well as historical knowledge within and outside of Korea.
