KORE-201 Intermediate Korean I

In order to improve their ability to communicate at the intermediate level, students apply four language skills - listening, speaking, writing, and reading - by exchanging, interpreting, and presenting information in multiple tenses and contexts. Students deepen the comparisons of Korean-speaking cultures, practices, perspectives, and artifacts to students' own cultures; connect the Korean language to other relevant disciplines; and expand their use of the Korean language outside of the classroom in a variety of contexts. Content and supporting language structures and vocabulary will be theme-based, with outcomes measured in a variety of ways, including task-based activities that support effective communication around the theme.
