  4. Individual, pair and small group oral presentations will be evaluated on the basis of producing comprehensible, paragraph-level discourse about familiar topics to reflect an increasingly consistent command of vocabulary and language structures.
  5. Oral presentation of cultural topics will be evaluated on the basis of demonstrating an increasingly accurate grasp of the subtleties in the idiosyncracies of Korean-speaking cultures, by analyzing and comparing them to one's own culture.
