KOREAN 111

Korean for Beginners 2


Please note: this is archived course information from 2021 for KOREAN 111.

Description

Welcome to KOREAN 111. As a continuation of KOREAN 110, this course aims to help students expand their spoken and written skills in modern Korean through the use of authentic communicative activities on topics relevant to students’ lives. Students will be given frequent opportunities to practice their newly learned vocabulary and grammar items in small groups, pairs or individually. They will be able to use the skills they gain in guided drill exercises in a larger communicative project (e.g., 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.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students who successfully complete the course should be able to:

  • engage in face-to-face conversations on broader topics of daily life,
  • comprehend simple Korean texts and write on broader topics based on their personal experiences and 
  • learn more about Korean culture and lifestyle.
