Elementary Korean for Advanced Beginners

Catalog description

Elementary Korean for Advanced Beginners is designed for heritage students who have a significant listening and speaking background, either from prior formal learning or previous exposure to a Korean-speaking community, but do not have sufficient basic skills in reading and writing. This introductory Korean course places more emphasis on building an understanding of the fundamental structure of the language and enhancing reading and writing skills by reinforcing grammar and vocabulary. After successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to understand the main ideas or some facts from simple texts dealing with basic personal and social needs, to be able to meet a number of practical writing needs, and to become more familiar with various aspects of Korean culture and society.
