Customized Korean 1-6 PDF +Audio +Teacher's books (맞춤 한국어) for English-speaking Children

맞춤 한국어 1-6 or Customized Korean 1-6 is a Korean language book series for English-Speaking Children provided by National Institute for International Education. 

The textbook was designed with Korean  school curricula in mind. Each book is comprised of  16 units, so 1 unit can be covered in a week (1 unit per week, each lesson lasting 2-3  hours).

Considering that the target learners  are residing outside of Korea, the textbook  also includes a separate Korean Culture  section to let learners naturally learn about  Korea and its culture, eventually enabling  students to cultivate an open mind towards  the world. In addition, acknowledging that  many learners may be at pre-school age,  efforts were made to accommodates young  children’s developmental characteristics and  needs. Also, as the main target learners may  be English-speakers, the textbook provides  most text, including the main content,  instructions in practice activities, and cultural  notes in both Korean and English. In addition,  a vocabulary index, English translations of  the Korean text, and unit-by-unit English summaries are provided as appendices. Also  in the appendix, there is a grammar section  that will enable parents with little or no  knowledge to help their children learn the  language at home.

There are several special features to this  textbook. First, proper sentence structure  formation, rather than excessive grammar  rules, constitutes the main focus of each  chapter. The aim of the book is to have  students use the language they learn right  away at home or with their peers and thus the  book espouses a decidedly practical approach  to learning. To this end, students learn by  engaging in a variety of activities intended to  reduce anxieties related to learning. Secondly,  all text are composed in the ‘해요’ ending, as  the ‘해요’ ending is most frequently used in  everyday Korean. Thirdly, in order to reduce  confusion and increase readability, the book  utilizes the Gothic type font.




The textbook is comprised of 16 units.  Lessons 1 through 10 help students get  acquainted with Korean vowels and  consonants, while lessons 11 through 16  contain basic sentence patterns and simple  expressions. The lessons that deal with  vowels and consonants were designed so  that beginning learners can become easily  accustomed to the sounds and spellings of  Hangul. The book also introduces an array  of new vocabulary with objects that students  frequently see in their daily lives to increase  familiarity. Lessons 11 through 16 introduce simple dialogues and descriptive texts. The lessons start with ‘Let’s learn’, where students are introduced to new vocabulary and sentence patterns, then go on to ‘Let’s listen’, ‘Let’s talk’ and ‘Let’s write’, which are activities that help students practice speaking and  writing in Korean, and the lesson ends with  ‘Let’s look at Korean culture’.
