All About KOREA is to introduce people, especially students, teachers, foreigners and tourists, to the culture of Korea. It‘s not easy to find this kind of educational book about Korea. I´ve developed this manuscript through the years at the request of individuals, school boards and other authorities in British Columbia, Canada. While I was doing the research for this book in Canada and the United States I found that there was a serious shortage of information about Korea for educational purposes. Both the public libraries and the universities lacked suitable educational material about Korea - this is surprising when one considers the importance of Korea as a member of the Pacific Rim and the rest of the world. I believe that All About KOREA accurately portrays the best of Korea. My hope is that this book will reach the widest possible audience. I feel very strongly that the information presented within these pages is the most relevant information about Korea required by students and teachers.  I would like to thank the Burnaby School Board, as well Ms. Lisa Hwang and other friends who love Korea, for the encouragement to publish an educational book about Korea.   이 도서는 한국을 알리기 위한 자료로 간단하고 알기 쉽게 편집된 교육용 책입니다. 대상은 국내 거주 외국인 및 해외 외국인, 국내 한국 문화를 영어로 표현하고자 하는 학생 및 일반인 그리고 한국을 알고자 하는 외국인이나 교포 자녀들 그리고 해외공관 및 학교 교재용입니다. 다른 도서들이 화보집 성격을 갖는데 반해 이 도서는 단원의 중간중간에 외국인들이 더 쉽게 이해하고 흥미를 끌 수 있도록 참여할 수 있는 페이지를 구성하였습니다. 외국에서는 한국을 알리기 위한 도서로, 국내 학습자에겐 한국을 표현하는데 필요한 문장 표현집으로 활용될 수 있습니다. 한국을 방문하는 외국인들은 우리나라에 대해 궁금해 하기 때문에, 이 도서의 내용이야말로 가장 좋은 안내서가 될 수 있을 것입니다.   John Yun -  Douglas College.
