Korean 5 is designed for students with a solid foundation in Korean language and aims to refine their proficiency. Students will gain more sophisticated and effective conversational skills by engaging with various real-life situations. A variety of textual and visual materials on popular culture, employment, and matters of public or community concern encourage students to broaden their linguistic and cultural horizon. Through interactive activities, discussions, and practical exercises, students navigate more complex communicative situations and unexpected turns of events. Additionally, students improve their skills in articulating opinions and analysing information by exploring personal cultural interests. Successful completion of this course solidifies students’ upper-intermediate level of Korean proficiency.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Recognise and use a broad vocabulary encompassing terms encountered in
news media, popular culture and current affairs, with the use of a
dictionary.
- Express ideas using grammatically and stylistically appropriate language
to the situation to state opinions, give explanations and make presentations
involving opinions and abstract ideas.
- Summarise content and comprehend information relating to Korea in a variety of topics: culture, geography, economics, politics; with a focus on oral, aural and written skills.
- Demonstrate an understanding of cultural practices such as seasonal changes, folk traditions and lunar festivals; travel, summer jobs and visas; negotiating disagreement in formal settings.
- Read a variety of non-technical texts such as magazines, newspapers or essays with a dictionary, and comprehend the gist as well as the supporting details.
Other Information
On successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to engage at an Intermediate level of Korean.
Students with native speaker proficiency (may include cognate languages and dialects) or with previous “language experience or exposure” are required to undertake a language proficiency assessment to ensure enrolment at the most appropriate level. Students who require a proficiency test must review the language proficiency assessment site and contact the CAP Student Centre for appropriate enrolment advice.
Relevant past experience includes:
- Previous study of the language (both formal and informal, for example but not limited to, at school, or, home, or through online activities, etc.)
- Being exposed to the language in childhood via a family member or friend
- Travel or living in a country where the language is spoken
- The language being spoken in your home (even if you do not speak it yourself)
Students who are not sure if they need to undertake a language proficiency assessment should seek advice from the course or language convenor. Students who intentionally misrepresent their language proficiency level may be investigated under the Academic Integrity Rule 2021 as having failed to comply with assessment directions and having sought unfair advantage. This may result in a penalty such as reduced grades or failure of the course.
Students are not permitted to enrol in a language course below one that they have already successfully completed, except with permission of the language and/or course convenor.
