Expanding on Korean 1, Korean 2 further explores the practical and fundamental aspects of daily language use. It teaches students to engage in short dialogues and narrate short stories using diverse sentence structures, particles, and tenses for everyday situations. Students can expand their vocabulary and grammatical proficiency as well as their oral and written communicative skills. Task-based conversational themes include travel plans, health discussions, giving advice, making requests, and more. Additionally, students gain insights into traditional and contemporary Korean society through the exploration of tourist destinations and customs in Korea. Successful completion of this course prepares students for a lower-intermediate level of Korean proficiency.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:

1. Read and write the Korean alphabet with confidence.
   
2. Use an active vocabulary of around 750 items.
   
3. Recognise and apply in conversation and writing a broad range of sentence structures and tenses for everyday situations.

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

Attendance is an essential component of this course. Students are required to attend all five hours of class each week.

All students are also expected to engage fully in classroom exercises.

Assessment Task 1

Participation (10%)

Before class (3%) – Students are required to watch a preview video each week before class and complete a Padlet entry, practising typing in Korean with short answers. Two preview videos will be uploaded to the Wattle weekly tab every Sunday. Each video will be 15 to 20 minutes long and will cover two grammar patterns for the upcoming lesson. A Padlet will be set up on the weekly tab with 3-4 short answer questions. Students will then be expected to answer these questions after watching the videos.

In-class (4%) – Attendance at tutorials will be graded as classroom participation is crucial for enhancing proficiency in a foreign language. Students are strongly encouraged to attend all sessions and take advantage of the opportunity to practice Korean to the fullest extent.

After class (3%) – Weekly homework will be assigned and submitted through MSTeam. Students are expected to conduct self-correction before submission. 

Note: If students have a participation issue due to a timetable clash, it must be discussed with the instructor at the beginning of the semester.

Assessment Task 2

Mid-term oral test (20%)

The instructor will conduct one-on-one interviews with each student, with each interview lasting up to 5 minutes. To achieve higher marks in this assessment, students are encouraged to practice spontaneous conversation during each tutorial session.

Assessment Task 3

Short quizzes (25% / 5% each quiz x 5)

Short quizzes will be conducted during every Tuesday tutorial from week 3,4,5 and week 7,8,9. Out of the 6 quizzes administered, the top five graded quizzes will be counted. Each quiz will take about 5-10 minutes and will cover grammar patterns and vocabulary learned in the preceding week.

Assessment Task 4

Final oral test (20%)

In this test, students will engage in an interview-style conversation with two peers and the instructor for 3-5 minutes. The objective is to assess students' ability to engage in spontaneous and natural conversation in Korean. Three topics will be provided in advance. Each student must prepare five questions and answers related to the given topics, which will be asked by the instructor during the exam. Students are required to submit their prepared questions by week 11. During the exam, the instructor will pose two questions from each topic. Additionally, students may ask questions to their partners during the exam

Assessment Task 5

Final Written Exam (final exam period) (25%)

The exam will consist of short answer questions, vocabulary, and a short paragraph writing. It will cover grammar patterns and vocabulary learned throughout the course.

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.
