Third Year Korean II

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course is the second semester of Advanced Intermediate Korean which is designed for students who have successfully finished EALK 30311 or who have gotten permission from the instructor after taking a placement test. This course is a content-based course and will integrate Korean cultural themes with language learning to enhance students' acquisition of Korean language and to deepen their understanding of Korean culture. Selected readings and multiple genres of media such as films with English subtitle, TV commercials, poems, and short essays will be introduced in this course. The purpose of this course is not to suggest a normative way of Korean living or generalize Korean culture, but to study diverse ways of living and to critically examine personal and social implications of the various modes of culture. The course focuses on exploring 5Cs (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) through more in-depth studies of Korean language and culture. Third Year Korean II is a 4 credit course; students should enroll in both EALK 30311 and EALK 31311 -01.
