5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for improving listening skills, April 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Elementary Task-Centered Listening Comprehension of Korean/Book and Cassettes, Bk 1 (Paperback)

The Listening Comprehension of Korean Books One and Two, now called Active Listening in Korean, are excellent, one-of-a-kind materials that focus exclusively on providing listening practice. Necessary vocabulary and grammar are presented before each listening task (good for pronunciation practice) and answers are provided in the back of the book. If only the authors Cho and Cho would produce similar materials for intermediate and advanced Korean learners!

4.0 out of 5 stars only a drop in the bucket, but that's about all we have, March 13, 2008

This review is from: Elementary Task-Centered Listening Comprehension of Korean/Book and Cassettes, Bk 1 (Paperback)

Korean listening comprehension is an extremely difficult task. There is a serious need for instruction materials in this area, and publishers are doing very little to meet this need.

This volume 1 is easy to use, but it goes only a short way toward meeting the student's needs.

Both volume 1 and 2 of this series seem to be out of print, and volume 2 seems to be unavailable anywhere.

Meanwhile, the same publisher has published another listening course (1565912470) which is ten times too difficult. Why they have done that is known only to the publisher and God.

One more word: Don't buy both this item and "Korean Through Active Listening" (1565910524 ). The two items differ only in title.
