COURSE DESCRIPTION

COURSE DESCRIPTION
K202 is the second part of the second year Korean. The course provides students with further conversational & grammatical skills beyond those learned in the first semester. The objective of the course is to equip students with communicative skills in speaking, reading, and writing with more complex structures in Korean such as various kinds of speakers stances, evaluation, assessment, judgement and attitudes on the events encountered, and more complex relations between two events such as cause, reason, purpose, concession, intention, background, condition, etc. Students are expected to be able to command a lengthy dialogue regarding various topics such as birthday party, hair style and fashion, hobbies, traditional holidays, marriage, jobs, etc.

Classes are divided into two parts: two hours of lectures and three hours of drill sections. 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 weekly quizzes. Besides weekly quizzes on Monday, there are occasional vocabulary and/or dictation quizzes.

COURSE MATERIAL
You will need a main textbook and a workbook for this class (both available at the IU Bookstore and T.I.S.) as well as supplementary in-class handouts:

(i) Main textbook: Integrated Korean (Intermedate 2) + Lesson 7 of Intermediate 1
(ii) Workbook: Integrated Korean Workbook (Intermedate 2)+ Lesson 7 of Intermediate 1
(iii) In-class Handouts are available through web page: see WEEKLY SCHEDULE

K202 will cover Lesson 7 of Integrated Korean: Intermediate 1 and Lesson 8 through 13 of Integrated Korean :Intermediate 2. Students are expected to create simulated dialogues based on the main conversations in each lesson and to memorize set dialogues assigned for each task/function. Written assignments will also be given mainly from the Workbook. Students are responsible to read the main textbook including main texts (conversations and narrations), vocabuary (new words and expressions and notes), grammar notes, as well as culture notes.

LAB ASSIGNMENTS
Lab attendance 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/Korean2.html

In order to take advantage of the lab material effectively the following procedures are advised:
Step 1. Listen to the tape without written material to see 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 on the main texts.
(Strongly recommended to enhance your listening and writing skills as well as improving your spellings)

* Attendance check will be strictly enforced; extremely low attendance may further lower your final grade, unless written proof of inevitable circumstance is provided; more than 10 absences will result in F. With a legitimate documented justification, excuses (5 excuses maximum) will be given.

Those who will not have missed any class 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.

** Your performance in class will be monitored by your AI and be graded each day. The grading criteria includes not only your Korean language performance, but also your attitude, cooperation, and participation.

*** 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.
