Semester 2
FeesLook up fees

This subject is a continuation of Korean 1, designed for students with some prior knowledge, or experience, of the language, spoken and written. Students will extend their knowledge of the basic structures of the Korean language and will learn to converse in different situations which are progressively less personal and more related to the world around them. In this subject, students will develop intercultural understanding through identifying and reflecting on Korean norms and customs from a comparative cultural perspective.

In addition, a range of authentic media will be used to explore key themes in modern Korean society. By the end of the semester, students should be equipped with more sophisticated language and intercultural skills to be able to express and situate themselves within a wider socio-cultural context.

Intended learning outcomes

On completion of this subject, students should:

  • Be able to use a basic vocabulary in a wider range of everyday communicative situations
  • Have a mastery of basic grammatical and syntactic structures
  • Be able to understand language in a variety of cultural contexts
  • Be able to produce a variety of written text types
  • Have become familiar with key Korean cultural traditions and practices

Generic skills

  • Written and oral communication skills through completion of assessment tasks
  • Intercultural skills
  • Analytical thinking and interpretative skills
  • Time management and planning skills
  • Critical self-awareness and an openness to new ideas and new aspects of language and culture
