KOREAN 111 : Korean for Beginners 2

Arts

2021 Semester Two (1215) (15 POINTS)

Course Prescription

Further develops the basic proficiency in Korean necessary to communicate in limited situations. Uses a range of exercises and activities to develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. Introduces distinctive aspects of contemporary Korean culture related to language-use situations.

Course Overview

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  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 and 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 that are both interesting and relevant to learners, regardless of cultural background.

Student Feedback

At the end of every semester students will be invited to give feedback on the course and teaching through a tool called SET or Qualtrics. The lecturers and course co-ordinators will consider all feedback and respond with summaries and actions.

Your feedback helps teachers to improve the course and its delivery for future students.

Class Representatives in each class can take feedback to the department and faculty staff-student consultative committees.

Digital Resources

Course materials are made available in a learning and collaboration tool called Canvas which also includes reading lists and lecture recordings (where available).

Please remember that the recording of any class on a personal device requires the permission of the instructor.

Academic Integrity

The University of Auckland will not tolerate cheating, or assisting others to cheat, and views cheating in coursework as a serious academic offence. The work that a student submits for grading must be the student's own work, reflecting their learning. Where work from other sources is used, it must be properly acknowledged and referenced. This requirement also applies to sources on the internet. A student's assessed work may be reviewed against online source material using computerised detection mechanisms.

Inclusive Learning

All students are asked to discuss any impairment related requirements privately, face to face and/or in written form with the course coordinator, lecturer or tutor.

Student Disability Services also provides support for students with a wide range of impairments, both visible and invisible, to succeed and excel at the University. For more information and contact details, please visit the Student Disability Services’ website http://disability.auckland.ac.nz

This should be done as soon as possible and no later than seven days after the affected test or exam date.

Learning Continuity

In the event of an unexpected disruption we undertake to maintain the continuity and standard of teaching and learning in all your courses throughout the year. If there are unexpected disruptions the University has contingency plans to ensure that access to your course continues and your assessment is fair, and not compromised. Some adjustments may need to be made in emergencies. You will be kept fully informed by your course co-ordinator, and if disruption occurs you should refer to the University Website for information about how to proceed.
