Students will be able to learn grammatical points and constructions that allow them to conduct appropriate forms of written and oral communication in frequently occurring situations: family life, communicating with teachers, telephone conversations, and navigating peer group communication. Studying in this course will also allow students to learn about the important role that cultural events like celebrations, milestones and festivals play in Korean life.

Policies

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University’s academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:

• Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
• Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information
• Student Surveys and Evaluations
• Deferred Examinations
• Student Complaint Resolution Policy and Procedure

Assessment Requirements

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

Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.

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 2. Their admission to Korean 2 will be pending the successful completion of a supplementary assessment.

Assessment Task 1

Class participation and performance (15%)

·      Pre-class activities (5%): To prepare for class, students should watch the pre-recorded video before coming to the class. A pre-recorded video for each lesson will be released every Sunday and students will complete assigned short tasks such as Padlet entry or non-graded quiz after watching the video.

·      In-class activities (5%): Classroom participation is crucial for enhancing proficiency in a foreign language. Therefore, students are strongly encouraged to attend all sessions and make the best opportunity to practice Korean. In class, students will encounter speaking and listening activities which are great opportunities to prepare for upcoming tests as well as improve their proficiency in Korean. Absence, arriving late, or leaving early (more than 10 minutes) for each class without notification will cause a deduction of participation mark by 1% but there will be make up tasks to avoid the deduction. [The first two classes will not be counted]

·      After-class activity (5%): Submit self-corrected workbook exercises or answering given questions. After-class activities are focused on practicing writing and reading. Homework is due on Monday.

Assessment Task 2

There will be three take-home chapter quizzes (10% each) during the semester, in week 4, 7 and 10.

Chapter quizzes will be held periodically during the semester, usually covering the previous 2 chapters. Each of the quizzes are worth 10% and test grammar and vocabulary in writing, reading and comprehension, and listening. The quizzes are tentatively scheduled to run in week 4, 7 and 10, depending on the class progress. They are excellent practice for the final written exam.

Assessment Task 3

Midterm Oral 15%

Group project: students in a group of 2 create 2 to 3 different dialogues. The length of each dialogue should be at least 3 to 4 minutes and no longer than 6 minutes. Topics will be given in week 4. The instructor will choose one topic for each group at the test, and students will perform as appropriate before the instructor. Grammar patterns and vocabulary covered from week 1 to week 6 must be used in the dialogue as much as possible. Spontaneous speaking is the key criterion for this test thus, memorising the prepared script is highly recommended. Reading out the script is not allowed.

Assessment Task 4

Final oral exam - group video presentation and discussion (20%)

Students will form a group of 3-4 members to create a skit on a socially appropriate topic as long as they can make use of textbook grammar and vocabulary covered during the course. Each member should have at least 12 complete sentences/lines, excluding exclamations and short utterances. Each team needs to record the prepared skit (8-10 min) and upload it on Flipgrid on Week 12. All lines should be thoroughly memorised. The script is due on Friday of Week 10. All groups have to watch 2 group videos as assigned and will have a small group Q&A about the topic and the skit. After the performance, the revised script can be resubmitted by Friday of Week 12 if it is necessary. 

Assessment Task 5

Final Exam 20%

The final written exam will cover the material studied throughout the entire semester. It will focus on grammar, vocabulary, reading and comprehension, and writing skills. Student will prepare for the exam in the review sessions in week 11 and week 12.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a core part of our culture as a community of scholars. At its heart, academic integrity is about behaving ethically. This means that all members of the community commit to honest and responsible scholarly practice and to upholding these values with respect and fairness. The Australian National University commits to embedding the values of academic integrity in our teaching and learning. We ensure that all members of our community understand how to engage in academic work in ways that are consistent with, and actively support academic integrity. The ANU expects staff and students to uphold high standards of academic integrity and act ethically and honestly, to ensure the quality and value of the qualification that you will graduate with. The University has policies and procedures in place to promote academic integrity and manage academic misconduct. Visit the following Academic honesty & plagiarism website for more information about academic integrity and what the ANU considers academic misconduct. The ANU offers a number of services to assist students with their assignments, examinations, and other learning activities. The Academic Skills and Learning Centre offers a number of workshops and seminars that you may find useful for your studies.

Online Submission

Online submission must meet the following requirements:

1. All written assignments and hand-written or typed exam must be double-spaced in order to provide enough room for any correction or feedback needed. Please write or type in every other line.
2. Convert your documents to a correct file format before submitting them to Wattle. 
3. Typed assignments must be submitted in a MS Word file (.docx).
4. Hand-written essays must be submitted in a PDF file (NO .png, .jpg, or etc.).

Late submission of assessment tasks without an extension are penalised at the rate of 5% of the possible marks available per working day: e.e., 1 day late 5% deduction, 2 days late 10% deduction, etc. Late submission of assessment tasks is not accepted after 10 working days after the due date, or after the date specified in the course outline for the return of the assessment item. In order to avoid a penalty, students are encouraged to submit their assignments prior to the deadlines.
