The course uses Korean film to enhance students’ ability to listen, speak, read and write Korean with nuance and sophistication. Films provide excellent learning tools for developing advanced level language skills and also for gaining historical and sociocultural understanding. Students will view a variety of films that touch on Korean history, culture and society. The films will serve as a resource for modelling grammar and discourse patterns that are common in conversational Korean. The lecture is largely designed to guide and facilitate students’ active learning to gain advanced level Korean in both oral and written forms.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Demonstrate a sophisticated command of the spoken and written vocabulary, sentence structures, and styles appropriate to a wide range of topics on Korean film and society, using honorifics as the situation demands.
- Independently gather and appraise Korean source materials; summarise and evaluate the main ideas of complex Korean texts.
- Appreciate the linguistic and visual styles used in different film genres with an appropriate mode of critical discourse.
- Read, discuss, and analyse a range of cultural and socio-political phenomena.
Other Information
On successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to engage at an Advanced 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.
