Course Objectives:

Korean 2H (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. In addition to the language skills, students will develop a sense of culturally appropriate conduct that is relevant to contextual needs such as greetings, gestures, and body language. 

 

The Korean 2H students will be able to demonstrate basic communicative skills such as:

 

(1) Interpersonal Communication:

á      Carry out all communicative tasks learned in the previous quarter with greater sophistication and    complexity.

á      Engage in simple conversations using both polite and deferential speech forms appropriate to the context. (e.g. self-introduction to friends vs. in public)

á      Exchange basic information about oneÕs immediate environment and familiar topics in the present, past, and future tenses. (e.g. daily routines, past activities, weekend plans)

á      Interact with elders using a wider variety of honorific forms (e.g. plain noun (irum, ÔnameÕ) vs. honorific noun (seongham, ÔnameÕ)

á      Participate in basic simulated situations in which they:

-  ask and give simple directions

-  make suggestions and invitations

-  accept and decline offers

-  express reservations

-  make apologies and give reasons

á      Express likes and dislikes, feelings, and opinions

á      Participate in highly structured conversations using more complex sentence structures (e.g. conjoined sentences, relative clause constructions in the present tense).

 

2) Interpretive Communication:

á     Gain a better control and understanding of phonological rules and intonation.

á     Identify main ideas and key details of specially prepared, short conversations and narratives on familiar topics, e.g. daily routine, habitual and past activities, weekend plans, etc.

á     Identify and appreciate levels of formality between polite and deferential speech styles.

á     Begin to understand simple and short conversations by picking out key information in authentic video clips, as well as those created for classroom learners.

á     Read and pick out key information in written materials resembling authentic texts such as maps, event calendars, emails, letters, public transportation schedules, etc.

á     Increase understanding of cultural practices involved in e.g. birthday food, daily routines, non-verbal gestures, etc. 

 

3) Presentational Communication:

á      Present jointly with a classmate structured and rehearsed skits (roughly 3-5 minutes), or individually prepared narratives in both the polite and deferential speech forms.

á      Write short compositions or reports (approximately 15-20 sentences in length) about themselves and their immediate surroundings.

á      Create greeting cards or simple letters for special occasions such as birthdays, ParentsÕ Day, New YearÕs Day, etc.

á      Post short entries on the class coursework discussion board, on topics such as their personal interests, a description of hometown.

However, after that 2.5% will be deducted from your final grade for any additional absence. More than 4 absences will result in F automatically. Three tardies and/or early leave will be taken as one absence. Any tardy of more than 15 minutes are counted as one absence.
