All Books for TOPIK & KIIP

What is TOPIK?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

     

     TOPIK stands for Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK). TOPIK is a Korean language test for non-native speakers of the Korean language. TOPIK consists of six levels (Level 1 to Level 6, i.e. 1급 ~ 6급). These six levels can be further divided into TOPIK I and TOPIK II. TOPIK consists of 1급 and 2급, and similarly, TOPIK II consists of 3급, 4급, 5급, and 6급. TOPIK is administered by the National Institute for International Education  (국립국제교육원, NIIED).

     You are free to do self-study while preparing for TOPIK. You aren't compelled to join any official class before appearing in the TOPIK exam.  I've compiled all books required while preparing for the TOPIK exam. I have included complete series of books and also some books that may enhance your ability in some aspects of the Korean language (e.g. writing, idiomatic expression, slang words, etc.).
