The course will improve students' understanding of Korean sentence structure and grammar and enhance students' ability to translate between the two languages (Korean/English).
KORN2022 is designed to develop a solid foundation of mainly reading, writing skills and grammatical skills, partially speaking and listening skills and additionally, insight into the socio-cultural aspects of the language. This course is a continuation of KORN1011.
