About this title

Synopsis

Is social media a waste of time? Is love with an artificial intelligence being possible? Gather your opinions and get ready to DEBATE IN KOREAN!

Korean Conversations and Debating offers intermediate and advanced level students the tools they need to bring their conversation skills to the next level. Each of the eight chapters is based around a fascinating topic relating to a controversial subject: Is social media a waste of time? Are print books better than e-books? Is virtual currency the future?

Designed for both self-study as well as classroom use, each chapter opens with a reading passage to introduce the topic, along with guided lessons, vocabulary lists and exercises both written and verbal. The topics and reading passages increase in difficulty as the book progresses from a lower-intermediate level to a more advanced level by the end. Free online audio recordings are available for all the Korean passages, along with a comprehensive Korean-English glossary.

Students will gain confidence and fluency in their speaking and writing, along with:

Develop advanced reading skills with interesting reading passages on controversial topics
Expand their vocabulary for speaking in Korean about a variety of subjects
Consolidate their use of correct grammar and more natural-sounding sentences
Develop the ability to express opinions in both written and spoken Korean
Use the art of persuasion and sophisticated verbal and written strategies of Korea

Read and debate about current controversial topics! Including:

Is virtual currency the future of the economy?
Can anyone be successful no matter what social status they are born with?
Should pop stars and idols be exempt from military service?
Are print books better than e-books?
Is a low birth rate detrimental or beneficial to society?
