Annyeong? Korean! 1: A New Learning Paradigm Rich in Culture and Stories

Abstract

The Korean language is quickly gaining global popularity, largely due to the cultural phenomenon known as Hallyu, or the Korean Wave. However, interest in Korea now extends beyond K-pop fans and those enchanted by K-dramas. Professor Jieun Kiaer, who launched Anneyeong? Hangeul!, is now joined by Hyunmi Kim and Nicola Fraschini in the series Annyeong? Korean!. The authors share a common goal of celebrating and enhancing intercultural connections while promoting the learning of the Korean language and culture in an inclusive and accessible manner that supports a long-term learning experience.
