This course is designed for advanced intermediate students and is aimed at further developing students’ writing skills and linguistic competence. Students will gain extensive practice in reading, composition and comprehension. Vocabulary skills are further consolidated by students learning to recognise and use a broad vocabulary encompassing terms encountered in literary, political, and historical texts, with limited use of a dictionary. Building upon grammar covered in earlier courses students in Korean 6 will learn to express ideas using grammatically and stylistically appropriate language to the situation to give explanations, make academic presentations, evaluate others’ opinions, and confidently engage in debates. In this course emphasis is placed upon students learning to develop the skills needed to read and comprehend information relating to Korea in a variety of genres and topics such as culture, history, social issues and current political developments.

In this instance you will be required to submit, alongside the assessment item itself, hard copies of all references included in the assessment item.

Assessment Task 1

Class Participation 5%

Classroom participation is a crucial factor in enhancing proficiency in a foreign language. If you cannot be present in class on time, in order to avoid a late penalty, contact your instructor at least 12 hours in advance for the instructor's approval. Therefore, regular attendance is essential in this course. Absence, arriving late or leaving early (more than 10 minutes) without notification is considered tardy. The course is delivered in Korean and students are required to communicate in Korean with their peers and the instructor as much as possible. You won't be assessed based on your level of language proficiency, so don't be afraid of making mistakes! Class participation will be assessed based on the following criteria:

• 4-5: Active participation in classes (questions, cooperation, exercises, tutorial activities, facilitation of discussions; punctuality)
• 2-3: Moderate participation in classes
• 1: Little participation in classes
• 0: Missed more than 1/3 of lectures and tutorials

Assessment Task 2

Homework Assignments and Class Preparation 5%

Students are expected to submit their homework assignments and prepare vocabulary, grammar, reading and listening materials, etc, before each class. Homework assignments can be hand-written or typed on a separate sheet of paper, but be sure to double-space all assignments in order to provide enough room for any correction or feedback needed. Full credit will be granted only for assignments turned in on time (submitted electronically on Wattle). Errors or mistakes on homework assignments will not be penalized. However, too short, carelessly done or otherwise incomplete or perfunctory homework will result in the deduction of points.

Assessment Task 3

Three Take-home Assignments 15%

• Goal: To practice and articulate on a topic convincingly in speaking and writing by using a variety of grammar patterns and vocabulary. Simple grammar and vocabulary, repetition and brevity will be marked down.
• Content: Speaking or writing assignments on various topics relevant to the course content and students' life. Content should engage themselves with providing details of events or their well-thought ideas and opinions in an organised manner.
• Format: Approximately 3 minutes in length for a speaking assignment or 300-350 words for a writing assignment. Please be advised that written assignments should be double-spaced in order to leave enough space for the instructor's feedback. More details about each assignment will be provided in classes. No needs to have a cover sheet but include a title and a student's u-number in your assignments.
• Deadlines for submissions: Three assignments to be submitted on Wattle on Weeks 4, 7 & 10. 

Guidelines for academic integrity:

• All of your works submitted to this course should be your own GENUINE work. You may ask questions to your Korean family members, friends or your instructor, but you cannot let them write or proofread your assignments. You are encouraged to have Korean language-exchange partners to practice speaking and broaden your vocabulary, grammar and expression. However, extensive assistance from native speakers may be considered academic misconduct as described in ANU policies. If you need any assistance or more information, have a look at the ANU Academic Integrity webpage (https://www.anu.edu.au/students/academic-skills/academic-integrity). You can also find more information below in the section "Related Policies and Other Information."
• Provide a list of ANY sources used in the completion of your assignment, including on-line dictionary URLs (e.g., bibliography or work cited). Clarify ANY part for which assistance was received from native speakers and underline the relevant section in your notes or bibliography.
• Late submission: The penalty for late submission without obtaining the instructor's approval for an extension will be 5% deduction of the maximum marks available per 24 hours: i.e., 1 day late 5% deduction, or 2 days late 10% deduction. In order to avoid a penalty, students may submit their assignments one session prior to the due date on Wattle or via an email.

Assessment Task 4

Group video project 15%

All students are expected to participate in creating a video discussion or debate in a small group (3-4 members) throughout the course of the semester. All students must participate in writing a script and speaking in front of a camera. Assigning task roles among group members can be flexible but fair to everybody, depending on the amount of work necessary for per-production and post-production. Please reach out to me early on and I will do what I can do if there is a group having problems with the group members. More details will be provided in the first week of the semester. Students who want to propose an alternative option as a solo project should consult the instructor in advance, and permission will be given only to those who request an academic concession.

• Goal: To give students an opportunity to apply their Korean language skills in a variety of contexts, to learn how to communicative their ideas effectively, delegate roles and responsibilities, learn teamwork, and (potentially) resolve group conflicts.
• Content: A appx. 10 minutes debate or discussion on social and/or cultural issues in Korea
• Format: Flexible (podcast, radio program, talk-show, webminar, parodies of TV dramas or films, or any possible mixed format as long as they are relevant to tasks of students' life. Students are welcome to use multimedia (photos, sound, maps, charts, graphs, etc.). Feel free to use your creativity.
• Timeline: Form a group --> Discuss with your group members and choose a topic and theme. (Week 3) --> Collect materials to support your discussion/debate. Divide roles. --> Submit a group proposal. (Week 5) --> Write a script and submit it for the instructor's feedback (Week 7). --> Set up a 15-minute group meeting with the instructor to do a script rehearsal and start filming. (Weeks 7 & 8) --> Post-production: editing and subtitling (Week 10) --> Upload the final work on YouTube or an other online platform. Submit the link to the instructor. (Week 11) --> Premier of the group projects. (Week 12)

Grammar quizzes questions will usually be drawn directly from each Lesson of the week in the textbook covered up to the previous lectures. Quizzes may be as often as every class, at the discretion of the instructor. Each quiz will have an equal weight to each other quiz, regardless of differences in number of questions. There will never be an option to make up quizzes for any reason. However, we will discard the one vocab and grammar quiz respectively when you scored the lowest.

Assessment Task 6

In-class mini presentation 5%
