1. Course Description

KOREAN 101 is the first half of the elementary Korean language course. This course is designed for those who have no previous (or very limited) knowledge of the Korean language. Emphasis will be placed on the fundamentals of listening, speaking, and the introduction of Korean culture. After mastering the Korean alphabets, students will learn to describe, narrate, and ask/answer simple questions in the three basic tenses (present, past, and future) about themselves, family, and daily activities. By the end of the course, students will be able to communicate with Korean native speakers at basic everyday survival tasks including (1) self-introduction, (2) asking questions, (3) counting numbers, (4) giving directions, (5) expressing needs, and (6) making requests.

Classes are divided into two parts: two hours of lectures and three hours of drill sections. Lectures will introduce new material and provide explanations on 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, oral performances, and chapter quizzes. Besides chapter quizzes, there are vocabulary and/or dictation quizzes daily.

A tardy (10 minutes late arrival or early leave) will be counted as a half absence.
(2) This course is a language and culture class and your participation is very important. Participation is 15% of your total grade along with attendance. 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.

Participating in Korean events such as Korean Conversation Club, Korean film showing, cultural events, etc. will 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. Attach a flyer or ticket from the event to your review. A review has to have at least 7 meaningful Korean sentences.
