Expanding on Korean 1, Korean 2 further explores the practical and fundamental aspects of daily language use. It teaches students to engage in short dialogues and narrate short stories using diverse sentence structures, particles, and tenses for everyday situations. Students can expand their vocabulary and grammatical proficiency as well as their oral and written communicative skills. Task-based conversational themes include travel plans, health discussions, giving advice, making requests, and more. Additionally, students gain insights into traditional and contemporary Korean society through the exploration of tourist destinations and customs in Korea. Successful completion of this course prepares students for a lower-intermediate level of Korean proficiency.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Read and write the Korean alphabet with confidence.
   
2. Use an active vocabulary of around 750 items.
   
3. Recognise and apply in conversation and writing a broad range of sentence structures and tenses for everyday situations.
   
4. Communicate in speech and writing on topics related, but not limited, to their personal or family situation, leisure, shopping, and travel.

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.

Online Submission

The ANU uses 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. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
