Building upon the foundation provided in Korean 2, Korean 3 is designed for lower-intermediate students to improve practical and essential communicative skills. Students learn vocabulary and grammatical structures for everyday language use in short written and oral communication. Through interactive activities, students gain confidence in exchanging basic information on familiar topics and managing common tasks such as handling inquiries, discussing hobbies and travel destinations, engaging in telephone conversations, expressing emotions and empathy, and navigating transportation. Additionally, this course offers insights into major cultural events such as Korean celebrations and festivals. Successful completion of this course enables students to advance to a low-intermediate level of Korean proficiency.

Learning Outcomes

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

1. Use a vocabulary that allows comprehension of texts on such themes as family relationships, cultural events and wider society.
   
2. Recognise and use the main grammatical structures of Korean on familiar matters regularly encountered in public, at school and at leisure.
3. Communicate appropriately in speaking and writing with various groups of people in frequently occurring situations: family life, communicating with teachers, telephone conversations, and navigating peer group communication.
4. Understand the general essence of a conversation on familiar topics in the relevant context and hold a conversation about general topics.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of cultural communication practices in interpersonal relationships in university, social life and family.

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

Participation

See Assessment Task 1 above.

Examination(s)

Please note that students edging too close to a Fail at the end of the course (45-49) may not be automatically admitted to Korean 4. Their admission to Korean 4 will be pending the successful completion of a supplementary assessment.

Assessment Task 1

Class participation and performance (10%)

Pre-class Activities (5%): To prepare for class, students must watch the pre-class slides (approximately 15 minutes) and submit the assigned workbook exercises on Canvas by 9:00 PM on Monday, prior to the lecture that begins a new chapter in the textbook. A pre-class slides for each lecture will be released every Saturday on Canvas. For the workbook exercises, students must self-correct their work and upload scanned copies of the corrected pages as PDF files (not as .png, .jpg, or Word documents) to the designated class folder. The file name should follow this format: Lesson2-1_First.LastName. All work must be handwritten. Late or poorly corrected submissions will result in deductions. Non-graded quizzes covering the grammar and vocabulary of each chapter will be conducted in tutorial classes. These pre-class activities begin from week 2. Feedback and grades for pre-class activities will be provided and published on a weekly basis prior to Census. Feedback and grades for pre-class activities will be provided weekly and published prior to Census.

In-class Participation (5%): Active participation in lectures and tutorials is important, as classes focus on interactive activities. Participation is not based on perfect language use, so students are encouraged to take part freely and view mistakes as part of learning. Participation is assessed through active engagement in class activities that develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, as well as completion of short, non-graded quizzes that support language learning. Absences, late arrivals, or leaving class early (more than 10 minutes) without notifying the instructor may affect participation marks. Missing more than three tutorials without prior notice will result in a 1% deduction from the participation mark for each additional absence.

Students with Equitable Learning Plans (ELPs/EAPs) are encouraged to contact the instructor early in the semester to discuss support needs.  

10-minute student consultation (non-graded): Student will have a 10-minute a consultation session with the instructor during Week 7 or Week 8 to discuss their learning progress. Sign-ups will take place in Week 5, with further details provided in class.

Assessment Task 2

Mid-term Oral Exam (15%): peer Interview

This interview assessment evaluates students’ language proficiency, including listening comprehension, oral communication skills, and the ability to apply language skills in practical contexts. Students will work in pairs and complete two interview sessions, taking turns as interviewer and interviewee--10 minutes in total. Each student will prepare eight open-ended interview questions for each of the two assigned topics, using vocabulary and grammar from Lessons 1–4 of the textbook. The interview will begin with basic personal information questions (e.g. name, hometown) and then progress to the selected topic. One topic will be randomly selected by the instructor during the exam. Each interview session will last approximately 4–5 minutes, followed by instructor-led follow-up questions. The instructor will ask additional questions after each session to assess comprehension and spontaneous language use. Interview topics and detailed guidelines will be provided in Week 3.

• Date: Week 6 (Wednesday)
• Length: 15 minutes in total (10 minutes peer interview + 5 minutes instructor Q&A)
