KORN0800 - Advanced Korean II

KORN 0800 is a sequel to KORN 0700 (Advanced Korean I) that focuses on further developing language skills and intercultural competence at the advanced level, so that students can communicate in a clearly participatory manner regarding various topics of personal and general interests. Students will engage in various task-based activities to expand lexical repertoire, refine grammar, and develop appropriate and effective interactional skills in Korean. Students’ active engagement in learning through presentations and projects will constitute a crucial part of the course. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to participate in Korean-speaking communities in meaningful ways and competently and confidently interact with Korean people, utilize their linguistic knowledge in a wider range of social settings, and develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of Korea’s language and culture. According to the ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) oral proficiency guidelines, students will attain Advanced Low/Mid-Level and sufficient linguistic and cultural competence to advance to a content-and-language course beyond the 0700 level.
