Export Cases of Language Books Developed in Korea

Export Cases of Language Books Developed in Korea   2021.02.08       It is not an exaggeration to say that most language books developed in Korea are focused on English education and that most of the exported books are English books for children and elementary schoolers.

As such, the SIBF could not be held in June, as unforeseeable circumstances curtailed the freedom of movement. It was also difficult to predict how the situation would change, so taking the event's original form and plans was a high risk. The Seoul International Book Fair 2020 had no other choice but to take on a new challenge. Physical isolation, non-contact, and online platforms accelerated the changes and made the Book Fair think of a new para...
