This unit is designed to follow on from the beginners’ level unit. It provides further development of students’ knowledge of the Korean language beyond that level. It is intended:
This unit is an open unit and part of the University-Wide Language Programme (UWLP), which offers all current undergraduate students the opportunity to learn a modern language as part of their course. Teaching is designed for non-specialists and provides an opportunity for students to enhance their portfolio of skills and international awareness
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Communicate orally and in writing with a good degree of accuracy and fluency;
2. Work at an intermediate level with authentic material and retrieve necessary information;
3. Demonstrate knowledge and awareness of the general social and cultural background of the target language;
4. Understand and interpret written texts at a lower intermediate level;
5. Respond to written texts at a lower intermediate level.
Teaching follows the communicative approach and provides 3 hours of teaching per week covering all four topics of reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Classroom based or live online learning is supplemented by online access to teaching and learning materials delivered via Blackboard’s virtual learning environment.
Regular formative homework is set.
Tasks which count towards your unit mark (summative):
Written exam (2 hour) testing reading and writing
Oral
Listening
When assessment does not go to plan
When required by the Board of Examiners, you will normally complete reassessments in the same formats as those outlined above. However, the Board reserves the right to modify the form or number of reassessments required. Details of reassessments are normally confirmed by the School shortly after the notification of your results at the end of the academic year.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. UWLP20017).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
