COURSE DESCRIPTION  
K201 is the first part of the second year Korean. The objective of the course is to equip students with communicative skills in speaking, reading, and writing at the intermediate level in Korean, such as expanding simple ideas into imposing various kinds of the speaker's stance, e.g. judgement, inference, and evaluation or subjective assessment of the ideas entertained, and expressing more complex relations between events, such as cause, reason, purpose, condition, concession, intention, background, etc. Skills for simple narration and written report will be enhanced. Students are expected to be able to and command a lengthy narrative discourse on personal experience.

Classes are divided into two parts: two hours of lectures by an instructor and three hours of drill sections conducted by a drill instructor. 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 a variety of oral performances, reviews, and chapter quizzes. Besides chatper quizzes on Monday, vocabulary and dictation quizzes are given daily.

(ii) Workbook: Integrated Korean Workbook: Beginning 2 (2nd ed.) L17 & Intermedate 1 (2nd ed.) L1-7
(iii) Additional materials: Available on Oncourse Course Site under the weekly schedule.

GRADING 
Students will be evaluated for the final grade based on the following percentage. 

* Attendance check will be strictly enforced; extremely low attendance may further lower your final grade, unless written proof of inevitable circumstance is provided; No more than 5 excuses will be granted: more than 5 absences will result in one grade scale down, and more than 10 absences in lectures and drill sections all together will result in an F for the course. No excuses are allowed unless a written proof of inevitable circumstances (e.g. doctor's notes, police reports, parents' notes, performance schedule, job interview schedule, etc.) is submitted.

Those who have the perfect attendance record (no unexcused absenc) will be awarded 5 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 5 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 upon submitting a report. The report for each event must be submitted within a week from the day of the event attended.

** Your performance in each drill section will be monitored and graded by your drill instructor 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 as deadline.

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 a class is counted as a late homework.

Grades will be assigned based on the following scale:

There will be no makeup exam unless provided with a written proof for a justifiable reason. Any makeup exam must be taken within one week from the original exam date.

Students' progress will be monitored and considered for the final grade, especially for the borderline cases.

Written assignments will be graded on your efforts as well as on your performance.
