Summary of Course 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 (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. 

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
• Learn more about Korean culture and lifestyle

Workload and deadlines for submission of coursework:           

The University of Auckland's expectation is that students spend 10 hours per week on a 15-point course, including time in class and personal study. Students should manage their academic workload and other commitments accordingly. Deadlines for coursework are set by course convenors and will be advertised in course material. You should submit your work on time. In extreme circumstances, such as illness, you may seek an extension but you may be required to provide supporting information before the assignment is due. Late assignments without a pre-approved extension may be penalised by loss of marks – check course information for details.

 

Well-being always comes first
