Course description
This intensive introductory course provides beginners with a solid foundation in modern Korean language and culture. The course focuses on the balanced development of interpersonal (communicating), interpretive (listening and reading comprehension), and presentational (formal speech and writing) skills, as well as cultural competence. In order to provide sufficient practice and opportunity to apply what has been learned in class, there are small group and individual speaking sessions, a virtual cultural event, as well as a project on Korean popular music and media to further understand and experience aspects of Korean culture.
