This course focuses on Low B1 level (Independent User) on CEFR language proficiency scale, especially on developing aural/oral skills (listening and speaking) of Korean language up to High B1 level (Independent User), while maintaining the balance in the development of speaking/listening, reading, writing, and cultural competence. It introduces real life situations in the Korean context and provides intercultural communication skills through the study of adapted and authentic texts. This course introduces students to a range of new language elements through various topics and real-life language situations in the Korean context. Some of the topics are also discussed in cross-cultural comparison with Australia as well as other countries when applicable. In that way, students are supported in their employability opportunities.
KORN3010 is an intermediate-level course aimed at improving oral and aural skills in Modern Korean language, while also developing reading, writing, and (inter)cultural competence to enhance employability. As a continuation of KORN3005, this course builds on the communication skills acquired in KORN3005. It is highly recommended to take KORN3011 concurrently to further develop reading and writing skills.
