Course Objectives:

Korean 1H (3 units) is the first part of the elementary course in spoken and written Korean. This course is designed for students who have strong background in spoken Korean. Focus is on reading, writing, and spelling. Upon completion of this course, the Korean 1H students will be able to:

(1) Interpersonal Communication: During the first quarter, students will be able to interact with members of their class on the most basic aspects of daily activities. They learn the Korean alphabet and syllable blocking and become familiar with a set of rules for pronouncing words and phrases. Students are able to use and respond to simple speech acts and converse on daily activities using lists and simple sentences in the present and past tenses. At the end of the quarter, students will be able to:

· Exchange greetings, leave-takings and introduce themselves and friends using rehearsed utterances and memorized formulae.

· Ask and answer personal information using the polite speech form (e.g. name, major, telephone numbers, nationality, age, etc.)

· Give basic information about one’s immediate environment and everyday life in the present tense (e.g. hometown/residence, school life, weekend activities, location, time, etc.).

· Make questions and requests politely using the honorific verb suffix –si.

· Address people using socially acceptable reference terms (e.g. the gender-neutral suffix –ssi vs. the gender-neutral honorific suffix –nim, positional titles and relational terms).

· Describe quantity of items using appropriate number systems and noun counters (e.g. Native Korean (han gae, ‘one item’) vs. Sino-Korean (il il, ‘day one’)

· Participate in short rehearsed dialogues using culturally appropriate non-verbal communication strategies (e.g., bowing when greeting and leave-taking, maintaining respectable eye-gaze when interacting with elders).

(2) Interpretive Communication: During the first quarter, students will learn to read and write the Korean alphabet and form syllables and letters. They identify basic pronunciation rules of Korean words and phrases, by utilizing audio-visual aids and internet resources. Students demonstrate understanding of different levels of speech, focusing on the use of the polite speech.

Students begin to become familiar with the basic sentence structure (SOV) and the differences between native Korean words, Sino-Korean words, and loanwords, through context and linguistic components. At the end of the quarter, students will be able to:

· Recognize differences in the orthography and phonology of Korean.

· Identify intonation patterns of statements, questions, and requests, presented in the same word order.

· Identify main ideas in both dialogues and narratives created especially for novice language learners (e.g. greetings/leave-taking, self- introductions, short descriptions of people, places, school life, daily activities, family, etc.

· Understand age-appropriate formality and speech levels, and demonstrate comprehension of the polite style of speech.

· Begin to become acquainted with authentic speech samples from songs, cartoon clips, TV program excerpts.

· Understand culturally appropriate behaviors and concepts such as greeting with a bow, Korean collectivism, and family terms.

(3) Presentational Communication: During the first quarter, students are able to present rehearsed information about themselves, peers and family, orally and in writing. Presentations are highly rehearsed and consist of simple phrases and sentences. At the end of the quarter, students will be able to:

· Give simple oral skits (roughly 2-3 minutes in length) or individual presentations about people, activities and daily lives, in highly rehearsed speech.

· Write short compositions or reports (of approximately 10-15 sentences) about themselves, friends, family and daily lives, using simple discrete sentences.

· Learn to type in Korean, and post simple questions and answers on the class coursework about themselves and their class community.

· Answer simple questions about their prepared presentation topics.
