REVIEW

Several years after releasing the Discover Korea series, The Asia Society produced Tune in Korea: Geography and Society, an information-packed video designed to teach middle school students everything they need to know about Korea in an hour-long video. This video features a group of young American high school students each of whom are supposedly producing a segment about different aspects of Korean society. The segments, which include titles such as Resources and Population, History, Language, and Belief Systems, are in no way amateur, however. Teachers will find the section recap, a summary appearing at the end of each segment particularly useful. This video is more instructive and up-to-date than the Discover Korea series, but there are no personal accounts and it does not come with a guide for teachers.
