University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Subject:

Korean

Description:

Korean 3 is the first half of an intermediate course on spoken and written Korean. It is catered for learners who are committed to further expand their language skills based on the contents covered in Korean 1 and Korean 2 which included vocabulary, grammar patterns, task/function and cultural aspects of Korea. Every classroom activity (e.g. pair/group work, drills, performances, quizzes, oral presentation, skits, etc.) and assignment will be designed and conducted with the main purpose of facilitating students' learning process. Korean 3 will strengthen students' foundation in Korean, enabling them to further acquire and develop language skills equally emphasized in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students will be able to handle successfully a variety of uncomplicated, basic and communicative tasks and social situations. Topics beyond the most immediate needs will be introduced. Korean 3 classes are divided into two parts: Lecture classes will include explanations of those conversational patterns in grammatical and pragmatic terms. The course also provides sociolinguistics and socio-cultural information especially when language is intimately linked with culture. Recitation classes will provide the students opportunity to practice strictly in Korean with various tasks and activities in most essential daily life situation. This means that students are expected to use the target language as much as they can throughout the course. Students will often be asked to make a pair or a small group in which they may interact with each other verbally. Students are expected to memorize the frame dialogues, vocabularies and expressions assigned by lesson with the help of CD-ROM in the Language Media Center (G17 CL) or on-line web site of the textbook and the workbook.
