All Together - American English Conversation*
by Gina Kim, Toney Maken & S. William; 1997
published by Intermedia Corporation, Seoul, South Korea
ISBN 89-8098-040-X 5,000 won (12,000 won with tapes)* Editing note : This text has been chosen for use by Year 1, non English-major students at Chungju National University a) because its bilingual glosses give these students an easy way to go from the known to the unknown, and b) because they can relate in some way to the content (although it is very "American"). A downside is that the editing standard is poor, with a certain number of syntactic and Konglish errors (an English native speaking teacher can correct these). - TM
