On the basis of data collected for several years, the project director will compile a handbook for elementary and intermediate learners of Korean which will address common errors which English-speakers make. Sections will be devoted to common errors in 1) Lexicon; 2) Grammar; 3) Sociolinguistics and 4) discourse/pragmatics. Explanations of proper usage will be followed by several exercises. The handbook will be useful for both heritage and non-heritage learners of Korean and should prove appropriate for Korean programs at post-secondary institutions regardless of which textbook is currently being used.

Supplement to original grant will allow for incorporating additional data in production of a handbook for learners of Korean.
