Course Objectives:

Korean 21 (4-5 units) is the first part of the intermediate course in spoken and written Korean. During the first quarter of the second-year Korean, students review the first year material briefly and will continue to learn by interacting with members of their class in a variety of contexts with increasing socio-cultural appropriateness in academic and community setting.

Upon completion of this course, the Korean 21 students will be able to:

 

(1) Interpersonal Communication:

á      Carry out all communicative tasks learned in First-Year Korean with greater sophistication, confidence and ease.

á      Exchange information with peers and younger people using the intimate speech form, on a variety of familiar topics.  

á      Describe people, events, activities related to their immediate environment such as

-  appearance and clothing

-  emotions and desires/wishes

-  travel plans, time schedules, and past events

-  information on classes, part time jobs, vacation plans

-  weather and seasons

-  houses and interiors

á      Make requests, and grant and deny permission in a socio-culturally appropriate manner.

á      Initiate, sustain minimally and close conversations related to uncomplicated basic tasks, e.g.

-  greet, take leave and ask about well-being

-  make inquiries and purchase items at service establishments (post office, department store, apartment rental office, etc.)

-  make and cancel appointments  and hotel reservations

á      Share personal stories and memorable experiences (e.g., shopping, summer vacation)

á      Begin to negotiate simple exchanges and ask for clarification and restate information when they did not understand or succeed in delivering the intended message.

á      Make simple comparisons between Korean and their own cultures (e.g., taking off shoes in the house, heating system, appropriate hand gestures, etc.).

 

(2) Interpretive Communication:

á     Carry out all interpretive tasks of the First-Year Korean with greater competence and ease.

á     Identify main ideas and significant details of oral and written texts created for intermediate-level language learners, on concrete topics (e.g. appearances, weather, itineraries).

á     Answer factual questions about the text based on their comprehension.

á     Restate the key points and main ideas of oral and written texts, using loosely connected sentences.

á     Identify genres and different types of simple authentic texts (e.g. informative reports, maps, online product reviews, train or flight schedules).

á     Understand the concept and practice of formality and speech levels, presented in the polite, deferential and intimate forms of speech. 

á     Begin to recognize unique features of Korean culture manifested in oral and written texts (e.g. songs, simple short stories, video excerpts from cartoons, movies, etc).

á     Identify and interpret gestures, intonation, and other cultural practices to understand texts related to personal and academic experiences.

 

(3) Presentational Communication:

á      Carry out all presentational tasks of the First-Year Korean with greater confidence and ease.

á      Give rehearsed oral skits with a classmate (5-7 minutes) or individual presentations (3 minutes), using short notes and visual aids (e.g., personal experience, work, and school). 

á      Prepare content questions on presentation topics (their own and those of their peers) for purposes of class discussion.

á      Write compositions or reports (approximately 200 words) about topics studied in the course material (e.g. brief synopsis, summary of biographical data, detailed description of people and places).

á      Use online dictionaries to begin to expand their word choices.

á      Post short reports or ads on the class coursework discussion board or blogs, and leave questions on peerÕs work.

á      Begin to restate information when discussing oral and written presentations, for the purposes of clarification. 

á      Begin to show evidence of good control of tense, inflectional morphology, and conjugation of verbs.

á      Become aware of and begin to employ appropriate (oral and written) presentational language. 

á      Begin to monitor their own speech and compositions for high-frequency errors.

Assistance on take-home written language assignments may take various forms. We expect you to use dictionaries and grammar books in the composition process. Under no circumstances is another person to compose an essay for you or contribute to its ideas or substantive expression. Your instructor may ask you to declare the amount of assistance you have received on any written assignment. We do not discourage assistance in the preparation of oral language assignments.
