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.

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information

Assessment Requirements

The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website Students may choose not to submit assessment items through Turnitin. 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: 12.5%

Classroom participation is crucial for enhancing proficiency in a foreign language. Attendance is not marked per se, but 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 proficiency, so don't be afraid of making mistakes!

• In-class activities (6.5%): Participate in written and speaking activities. Absence, arriving late, or leaving early (more than 10 minutes) without notification is considered tardy.
• After-class activity (6%): Homework: Submit self-corrected workbook exercises after each lesson finishes.

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.

Assessment Task 2

Oral proficiency interviews (2): 20% (not equally weighted)

• Oral Proficiency Interview 1 on Week 6
• Oral Proficiency Interview 2 on Week 11

Students are required to schedule two Oral Interviews. The format of the oral interviews is similar to ACTFL OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview). Grading will be based on participation and improvement. The details will be provided on Wattle and in class in Week 1.

Assessment Task 3

In-class short quizzes: 7.5% (3 times *2.5% each)

Written and/or oral questions based on the course materials to test students' ability to utilise new vocabulary and grammar patterns covered in previous classes

Quizzes encourage students to review the course content on time. Students are expected to review lecture notes, in-class activities, and exercises in the textbook and workbook. If you cannot attend a class on any week that a quiz is scheduled, you MUST inform the lecturer at least 12 hours prior to the day and provide a relevant document to schedule a make-up test.

Assessment Task 4

Mid-term written exam will be in class in Week 7. It will cover Lessons 9 to 14. The details will be provided on Wattle and in class in Week 1.

Final group presentation: 20%

Students will form groups of 3-5 members to create a skit on any topic, in consultation with the instructor, that makes use of textbook grammar and vocabulary. Each group member must deliver at least 15 complete-sentences/lines, excluding exclamations and short utterances. Each group will have 20 minutes maximum to perform (with transition time, introducing each member, prop setting time all included). All lines should be thoroughly memorized. Detailed descriptions and guidelines will be provided in class and Wattle.

Assessment Task 6

Final written exam: 20%

2-hour test during the exam period.

The final written exam (cumulative) will assess the student's reading and listening comprehension as well as writing skills for words, expressions, and grammar patterns learned in the course of the semester.

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. This means that all members of the community commit to honest and responsible scholarly practice and to upholding these values with respect and fairness. The Australian National University commits to embedding the values of academic integrity in our teaching and learning. 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.
