Korean Conversation Gambits: Developing Spoken Language provides specific linguistic and communicative strategies that help Korean language learners engage in daily conversations as well as discussions and negotiations in work and academic contexts.

The book presents, and provides practice in, spoken Korean gambits that will help speakers organise their conversations and frame the type of extended discourse that is common in spoken Korean. The book introduces students to strategies for getting thinking time, dealing with breakdowns in comprehension, asking for and providing clarification, exemplifying, floor-holding, interrupting, checking understanding, disagreeing, reformulating and organising longer stretches of discourse; for example, when giving presentations, telling stories or providing self-introductions. Korean Conversation Gambits: Developing Spoken Language comes complete with classroom-ready practice materials.

This textbook can be used as a resource by both teachers and Korean learners from introductory to intermediate and proficient levels.
