Unit Overview
- Description
This unit is aimed at students assessed as being near native speakers of Korean and builds on skills emphasised in KORE1405 Korean 5. It focuses on the application of students' language training to the study of Korean sources reflecting contemporary Korean culture and society. The unit deals with authentic materials regarding current issues and changes in Korean society, and helps students relate the material content to their present lives and to their future career opportunities. Emphasis is also placed on building field-specific vocabulary and expressions used across different media (print, television, internet, social networks), and on understanding the use of different modalities of meaning delivery in Korean language and extending students' research, presentation and discussion skills. Material selected for study in this unit is strictly connected to different social aspects of present day Korea and students are required to consider this in relation to their background.
