PREFACE
Korean-as-a-foreign-language (KFL) teaching and learning in the Englishspeaking world has hardly been popular among non-Koreans until quite recently. However, the number of KFL learners has started to grow rapidly since the latter half of the 1970s for various reasons, such as the increasing visibility of South Korea on the international stage because of its fast economic development and its democratization over the last four decades, the continuing support from the Korean government regarding the expansion of the Korean Studies program abroad, the growing importance of the North Korean issues in contemporary global-political affairs, and the recent growth of the Korean-American population in the USA.
In the USA alone, the number of colleges that offer KFL courses was merely ten in 1975. However, that number has grown to over 130 in the early 2000s. A few universities, including the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the University of California at Los Angeles, have offered Korean language BA, MA, and PhD programs. The number of Korean community schools (for K-12 Korean and culture education) grew from seven in 1975 to 832 in 1996, and to over 900 in the early 2000s. In addition, over 20 public high schools have recently started to teach Korean. The Korean language boom is not confined within the US private sector or university settings but is found in the government sector as well. For example, US government institutes such as the Defense Language Institute, the Foreign Service Institute, and the Central Intelligence Agency provide intensive Korean language training.
In recent decades the number of KFL textbooks for English-speaking KFL classroom use has steadily increased. However, the number of KFL study materials intended for a self-study purpose is still relatively scarce. Furthermore, to date there has been no published KFL grammar workbook that specifically aims at providing supplemental grammar explanations and exercises in a single volume.
Basic Korean: A Grammar and Workbook and its sister volume, Intermediate Korean, are intended to meet that need. The book focuses on providing an accessible reference grammar explanation and related exercises
