Korean Cultural Center, Los Angeles and National Korean Studies have provided teaching materials and lecture resources related to Korean history and culture, such as the textbook Teaching East Asia: Korea, which is an updated edition of Common Core: Korea, a book that has been in use as the main textbook for the seminar since 2016. The book has also been made into a digital format and has been distributed online.
Teaching East Asia: Korea is a textbook that was revised and published in 2017, a book that many teachers use as a supplementary textbook for Korean history and culture lessons. It serves as a way to introduce Korea to students as an important member of Northeast Asia region and the world, one reason that the title of the book changed in 2017 from Common Core: Korea. It contains various contents such as Korean history, culture, society, and the quantitative and qualitative growth of Korea's politics, economy, society and industry after World War II, Korea’s strengthening of its international status, Korean music, science and technology development, Korean immigration, and Korean tourism industry.
