This textbook is designed to help learners in studying the Revised Edition of the Standard Korean Language Textbook (¡ºÇѱ¹¾î Ç¥Áر³Àç °³Á¤ÆÇ¡»), which was designed to support students to prepare for the Korean Language Proficiency Test at their own home.

This textbook was also designed to serve as a reference book, considering that there may be no Korean language institutes and no Korean language teachers where students live in their home countries. In addition, taking into account an environment where there is not much opportunity to practice Korean language, the textbook was made to function as a practice book, and it was also designed to prepare students for EPS-TOPIK. Moreover, the structure of the textbook was designed to act as a virtual teacher to guide learning. Especially, the explanations of key elements of Korean grammar included in the ¡®Master Hangeul, the Korean Alphabet¡¯ unit and the fact that each lesson was recorded in English are intended to help students¡¯
