Intermediate Korean (First Quarter)

---

Course Description

This course provides a review of grammar and an in-depth exploration of grammatical features beyond the elementary level. It aims to improve students' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills with an emphasis on the first intermediate level. Students develop reading and discussion of texts dealing with Korean literature, art, history, and culture. This course requires Language laboratory practice.

Student Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate an increasingly consistent command of essential vocabulary and language structures necessary to request and provide an expanding range of somewhat sophisticated information This includes indicating possibility and capability, requesting/granting/denying permission, calling a travel agency and buying a plane ticket, giving warnings and asking for advice, looking for housing, and giving and responding to compliments.
• Derive meaning from longer texts of increasing complexity, [relying less on contextual clues] to extract main ideas and supporting details, and to interpret some subtleties of the text.
• Compose comprehensible, paragraph-level discourse about familiar topics to reflect an increasingly consistent command of vocabulary and language structures.
• Demonstrate an increasingly accurate grasp of the subtleties in the idiosyncracies of Korean-speaking cultures, by analyzing and comparing them to one's own cultures.
• Develop awareness of one's own cultural assumptions and biases and learn to recognize and adapt to different cultural norms and values when interacting with Korean-speaking individuals.
