About This Book
With the K‑Pop craze led by BTS and Blackpink, along with the proliferation of OTT programs such as “K‑Pop Demon Hunters” and the “Squid Game” series, interest in Korea and the Korean language has been exploding among middle and high school students in the United States. Over the past decade, the number of Korean language learners has grown rapidly, particularly in the United States, where Korean s increasingly being offered in middle and high schools as part of the regular curriculum. Along with this growth, assessments based on the ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) Proficiency Guidelines, most notably the State Seal of Biliteracy, have gained prominence. It is expected that as proficiency based assessments gain recognition in global and government related fields, the number of Korean proficiency test takers will continue to increase.
“Ultimate Guide to the Korean Proficiency Tests” offers task‑based, performance‑oriented practice to help learners understand their current proficiency, identify areas for growth, and develop effective strategies for improvement. It contains practice tasks in the four language areas—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—at levels ranging from Novice Mid to Advanced Low. These tasks are based on real‑life materials, making this guide an effective resource for learners who want not only to prepare for Korean proficiency tests but also to improve their communication skills. Moreover, it also serves as a practical teaching resource for instructors who want to provide students with level appropriate practice in all four language skills.
