KOREAN 111 : Korean for Beginners 2

Arts

2023 Semester Two (1235) (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.

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.

Class Representatives
