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 works submitted for this course must be the student's own original work. While students may ask their Korean family members or friends questions, they are not allowed to have them write or proofread their assignments. It is encouraged to have Korean language exchange partners to practice speaking and expand vocabulary, grammar, and expression. However, extensive assistance from native speakers may be considered academic misconduct, as described in ANU policies. For assistance or more information, please refer to the ANU Academic Integrity webpage (https://www.anu.edu.au/students/academic-skills/academic-integrity ). Further information can also be found in the "Related Policies and Other Information" section below.

Students are required to provide a list of any sources used in the completion of their assignments, including online dictionary URLs (e.g., bibliography or works cited). They should clarify any part for which they received assistance from native speakers and underline the relevant section in their notes or bibliography.


Late submission: The penalty for late submission without obtaining the lecturer's approval for an extension will result in a 5% deduction of the maximum marks available per 24 hours. For example, if an assignment is one day late, a 5% deduction will be applied, and a 10% deduction will be applied if it is two days late. To avoid penalties, 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 past the due date.

Academic Integrity
