KOREAN LANGUAGE 1 MOD.2

The course "Korean Language 1 Mod 2" [LM004J] is one of the core educational components within the master's degree program in "Languages and Civilizations of Asia and the Mediterranean Africa." Its primary objective is to enhance students' proficiency in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing Korean at an advanced level.

By the end of the course, students will be able to read and analyze complex texts and effectively engage in various communicative contexts. The course includes an in-depth exploration of advanced Korean grammatical structures, conducted in coordination with language practice sessions led in parallel by language experts (CEL).

At the end of the course, the students will have acquired advanced language skills and will be prepared to face the final module of Korean language in their master's program.
Specifically, the acquired competencies will include:

Knowledge and understanding
• Knowing the key phrases necessary to interact in communicative contexts that require knowledge of sector-specific languages related to the humanities.
• Having a solid understanding of the complex grammatical system of modern Korean.
• Knowing an advanced lexicon that includes terms from sector-specific languages related to the humanities.

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
• Being able to correctly use the key phrases necessary for interacting in communicative contexts requiring knowledge of sector-specific languages related to the humanities.
• Being able to understand texts on topics related to the humanities.
• Being able to use an advanced lexicon in writing, including terms from sector-specific languages related to the humanities.
• Being able to correctly understand Korean sentences containing complex grammatical structures.

Judgment skills
• Being able to assess the level of their own linguistic knowledge, skills, and competences.

Communication skills
• Being able to communicate the specifics of linguistic and textual analysis, using appropriate terminology.

Learning skills
• Being able to relate different study contexts and apply their knowledge, skills, and abilities for personal and professional growth.
• Being able to handle original language texts with sufficient familiarity and mastery.

Looking for a correspondence with the TOPIK levels, at the beginning the students may be positioned at an initial level 5, while at the end they will have developed language skills at a full 5+/6 level. Based on the evaluation parameters set by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the students' proficiency will shift from an initial level C1 to an initial C2 level upon completion

The ideal situation would be to see the attendance of learners who have already passed the Korean Language 1.1 (MA) examination.
