Building upon the foundation provided in Korean 2, Korean 3 is designed for lower-intermediate students to improve practical and essential communicative skills. Students learn vocabulary and grammatical structures for everyday language use in short written and oral communication. Through interactive activities, students gain confidence in exchanging basic information on familiar topics and managing common tasks such as handling inquiries, discussing hobbies and travel destinations, engaging in telephone conversations, expressing emotions and empathy, and navigating transportation. Additionally, this course offers insights into major cultural events such as Korean celebrations and festivals. Successful completion of this course enables students to advance to a low-intermediate level of Korean proficiency.

Learning Outcomes

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

1. Use a vocabulary that allows comprehension of texts on such themes as family relationships, cultural events and wider society.
   
2. Recognise and use the main grammatical structures of Korean on familiar matters regularly encountered in public, at school and at leisure.
3. Communicate appropriately in speaking and writing with various groups of people in frequently occurring situations: family life, communicating with teachers, telephone conversations, and navigating peer group communication.
4. Understand the general essence of a conversation on familiar topics in the relevant context and hold a conversation about general topics.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of cultural communication practices in interpersonal relationships in university, social life and family.
