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.

Guidelines for academic integrity:

All of your works submitted to this course should be your own GENUINE work. You may ask your Korean family members or friends questions, 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 assistance or more information, 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 online 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 lecturer's approval for an extension will be a 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 email. Late submission of take-home assignments is not accepted after 10 working days after the due date.

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.

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.

Online Submission
