Unit Overview
- Description
This is a continuing advanced level unit in Korean following on from KORE2404 Korean 4 (or equivalent). The unit offers further consolidation and improvement of students' skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking in Korean on a range of social, academic and abstract topics, focusing on complex linguistic structures and expressions used in both spoken and written Korean, and developing awareness of different forms and styles of written language, using interactive activities and audiovisual materials. It also develops reading and writing skills through engagement with authentic learning materials, including reflection on contemporary Korean social issues through essay writing in a range of text typologies, and fosters an advanced understanding of Korean language, culture and society contextualised within the students' social setting. In addition, the unit enhances students' global perspective and supports the development of advanced translingual and intercultural competence, enabling formal presentations and sustained conversation on issues related to contemporary Korean society.
