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:
- Read and write the Korean alphabet with confidence.
- Use an active vocabulary of around 750 items.
- Recognise and apply in conversation and writing a broad range of
sentence structures and tenses for everyday situations.
- Communicate in speech and writing on topics related, but not limited, to their personal or family situation, leisure, shopping, and travel.
- Demonstrate a foundational knowledge of Korean geography and everyday customs.
Other Information
On successful completion of this course, students will have the knowledge and skills to engage at an Elementary level of Korean.
Students with native speaker proficiency (may include cognate languages and dialects) or with previous “language experience or exposure” are required to undertake a language proficiency assessment to ensure enrolment at the most appropriate level. Students who require a proficiency test must review the language proficiency assessment site and contact the CAP Student Centre for appropriate enrolment advice.
Relevant past experience includes:
- Previous study of the language (both formal and informal, for example but not limited to, at school, or, home, or through online activities, etc.)
- Being exposed to the language in childhood via a family member or friend
- Travel or living in a country where the language is spoken
- The language being spoken in your home (even if you do not speak it yourself)
Students who are not sure if they need to undertake a language proficiency assessment should seek advice from the course or language convenor. Students who intentionally misrepresent their language proficiency level may be investigated under the Academic Integrity Rule 2021 as having failed to comply with assessment directions and having sought unfair advantage. This may result in a penalty such as reduced grades or failure of the course.
Students are not permitted to enrol in a language course below one that they have already successfully completed, except with permission of the language and/or course convenor.
