Korean for Beginners 2


Please note: this is archived course information from 2016 for KOREAN 111.

Description

Welcome to KOREAN 111!

This course is the second part of beginning Korean and a continuation of KOREAN 110. 

The aim of this course is to equip students with basic spoken and written skills in modern Korean through the use of authentic multimedia materials and stimulating activities on topics relevant to students’ lives. Throughout the semester, students will be exposed to a learning environment enriched with spoken Korean. Students will be given frequent opportunities to practice their newly-learned vocabulary and grammar items in small groups, pairs, or individually. Students will use the skills they gain in guided drill exercises in a larger communicative project (eg, skit, presentation) for a more personalised and creative language-learning experience. Although primary emphasis is on the development of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), the course will also cover distinctive aspects of contemporary Korean culture that are both interesting and relevant to learners, regardless of cultural background. 

Students who successfully complete the course should be able to engage in face-to-face conversations on broader topics of daily life and to comprehend simple Korean texts.
