Course Description
Elementary
Korean I is the first part of First Year Korean. The course provides students
with basic conversational & grammatical patterns, assuming that the
students have no or little previous background knowledge of Korean.
The objective
of the course is to equip students with communicative skills in speaking,
listening, reading, and writing at a basic level in Korean; students
will learn how to express simple ideas such as attributes, identities,
locations, time, daily activities, weekend plan, as well as
how to combine simple ideas in various ways.
Classes
are divided into two parts: two hours of lectures conducted by Prof.
Lee, and three hours of drill sections conducted by an associate instructor
(AI). Lectures will include explanations of those conversational patterns
in grammatical and pragmatic terms.
Drill sections
will provide the students with opportunities to practice in actual communicative
situations with various tasks and activities. Among the three drill
sessions, Monday will be designated mainly for reports on weekend, listening
activities, and chapter quizzes. Besides chapter quizzes on Monday, there
are daily vocabulary and/or dictation quizzes.

Attendance check will be strictly enforced; extremely low attendance
may lower your final grade further, unless a written proof of inevitable
circumstance is provided; no more than 5 excuses will be granted; more than 10 absences in lectures and drill sections all together will result in F for the course. Extra-credits will be given for excellent attendance record and participation in Korean events in campus.
Those who have the perfect attendance record (no absence) will get awarded 6 days of Extra credit (about 1% of the total grade); if your absence is zero due to the excuses granted, the number of excuses will be deducted from the 6 days of extra credit.
Participating in Korean events such as Korean Conversation Club, Korean film showing, cultural events, etc. will also be awarded extra-credits.
** Your
performance in each drill section will be monitored and
graded by your AI each day. The grading criteria not only includes your Korean
language performance, but also your attitude, cooperation, preparation and participation.
*** Homeworks are due at the beginning of the class of the day specified for due date.
Late homework must be handed in within a week from the deadline: the maximum point for late homework will be 10% less for each day delayed; the homework submitted after the class is counted as late homework.)

Lab assignments:
Lab activity is required. For each week, you are expected to do the assigned
lab material at least for 1 hour. Writeup assignments will also be given
regularly on the lab material.
For
your convenience, the audio material from the textbooks and the workbook
is available on-line in the web. Go to: http://languagelab.bh.indiana.edu/korean101.html
In order
to take advantage of the lab material effectively the following procedures
are advised:
- Step 1. Listen to the audio without written material. Check how much you could
understand.
- Step 2. Listen to the same part again, with the written material
- Step 3. Repeat after the model for each utterance (avoid using
the written material as much as you can).
- Step 4. Go over the material again without written material. Make
sure you understand the material thoroughly.
- Step 5. Give yourself a dictation test for the main texts (conversations
and narrations).
- Step 6. Check your answers with the textbook.
(Steps 5 and 6 are strongly recommended to enhance your listening and
writing & spelling skills)
Recording your voice:
The language lab in BH115 and 117 is equipped with a recording device called "Sanako." You can record your own voice in practice. You can also create audio files of your recording. A number of assignments may be given to record your lab activites and and be submitted as audio files. See the instruction on how to record your voice and save it as an audio file.
Using Korean voice e-mail:
You will receive one voice e-mail each week to reply. All communication should be in Korean. Your performace will be graded as part of oral performance.
Feel free to send a voice e-mail in Korean. You will get extra-credits for your activities in voice e-amil.
