This course completes the development of the low intermediate level of Korean listening and reading comprehension skills and spoken and written communication skills. Competency in everyday spoken language is stressed, with lessons on travel and dining vocabulary, hobbies, and on developing the ability to speak about one's own life and interests. The vocabulary learned in this course allows students to expand their ability to discuss such topics as life goals and wider social issues. Building upon grammar covered in earlier courses, students in Korean 4 will learn and consolidate grammatical points and constructions that allow them to conduct appropriate forms of written and oral communication in frequently occurring situations: travel, dining, holidays, hobbies, peer group communication, and their own lives and interests. Studying in this course will also allow students to learn about important cultural practices such as national festivals, customs, costumes and cultures of food and drink.

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

Moderation of Assessment

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

Assessment Task 1

Participation 10%

Attendance is not marked per se, but classroom participation is crucial for enhancing proficiency in a foreign language. Students are strongly encouraged to attend all

sessions and make the best opportunity to practice Korean. You won't be assessed based on the level of language pro^ciency, so don't be afraid of making mistakes!

• Based on the degree of contribution to pre-class, in-class and post-class activities
• Pre-class activities (3%): Watch lecture videos and non-graded quizzes
• In-class activities (4%): Participate in written and speaking activities; turn on your camera (remote students); ask questions
• After-class activity (3%): Submit self-corrected workbook exercises with a 'learning journal' every Friday before a tutorial session. Students must show original work with self-corrections, and a short reflective note on patterns of success and points for improvement. This homework should be turned in before the class starts in order to receive full credit. Homework submitted after the class has started or one-day late will be given half credit. Any later submission will receive no credit. 
• Absence, arriving late, or leaving early (more than 10 minutes) without notification is considered tardy. If you cannot be present in class on time, contact your instructor at least 12 hours in advance. Students who have issues with participating in the majority of classes or require academic accommodations must contact the course convenor at the beginning of the semester if not before.
• Participation marks are not released before the final results are released.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of our culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically.

We ensure that all members of our community understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with. The University has policies and procedures in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Visit the following Academic honesty & plagiarism website for more information about academic integrity and what the ANU considers academic misconduct. The ANU offers a number of services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities. The Academic Skills and Learning Centre offers a number of workshops and seminars that you may find useful for your studies.
