This course is the first half of a pre-advanced Korean course designed for students who have either completed Intermediate Korean II (Korean 245) or have equivalent proficiency in Korean language. With the goal to further develop all four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, students will expand their use of previously learned grammatical pattens toward a paragraph length discourse. Students will develop their Korean proficiency through exploring various topics on Korean culture and society. Students will read authentic materials including news articles, literature, and so forth. In addition, various genres of authentic audio-visual materials will be used. In accordance with the national standards in foreign language education, all Five Cs (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) will be emphasized in the course.
