ASIANLAN 336 is the second half of intermediate sequence designed to help students work toward independence as Korean language practitioners. The course provides well-balanced training in four areas of language (speaking, listening, reading and writing) at the intermediate level. Students continue to build up a repertoire of vocabularies, expressions and grammar patterns vital for carrying on meaningful social interactions in Korea, and gain practice in expressing themselves with greater accuracy and sophistication. Students will also develop improved reading speed as they work through course readings drawn from literature, history, and current affairs.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Write an advertisement such as for a school club or housing, and answer information related to the advertisement
- Discuss housing culture in Korea and the U.S. in comparative and contrastive terms
- Describe a person’s appearance and personality in detail, and write about their family and friends based on their appearance and personality

- Obtain information from official documents and make use of the service provided at places such as the post office, bank, and immigration office
