This study examines the explanation of pronunciation of educational items in the recently published integrated Korean textbook. The characte ristics of the pronunciation of descriptions of educational items in the integrated textbook are as follows. First, in the previous textbook, the pronunciation explanations were provided at the beginning, and the changes in the phonemes were not explained later in the text. In recent textbooks, however, all of the phonological changes are described as “spirals.” This is a very good method for learning efficiently. Second, the pronunciation of individual words that Korean learners are able to perceive is emphasized. Particularly common is the pronunciation of the diphthong [의]. Third, the explanation of the intonation and concatenation of the supersegment is explained in detail at a beginner’s level. Fourth, the text does not explain all of the presented units of phonological variability, but is characterized by repeatedly describing these in a spiral manner according to the learner’s understanding when the corresponding item emerges.
