101. Beginning Korean. Native
or near-native speakers of Korean are not eligible for this course. (5).
(LR).
This first-year course is for those who have no or minimal proficiency in
Korean. This course will introduce the basic structure of Korean while focusing
on the development of reading, writing, and speaking skills. Class regularly
meets five times a week - two hours of lecture and three hours of aural/oral
practice - and daily attendance is expected. In addition, students are required
to do additional hours of work for practice on their own in the computer
lab. Through lectures, students will learn Korean characters, be able to
read sentences with considerable fluency, and understand the basic grammatical
structures of Korean. Based on the knowledge obtained through lectures,
recitation classes will help the students develop an ability to use basic
conversational expressions freely. The checkpoints for evaluation include
homework assignments, weekly quizzes, reading aloud, and oral interviews.
The textbook for the course is College Korean by Clare You (University
of California Press). Those who successfully finish the course will gain
sustained control of basic conversation. WL:2
