Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs H. Jeen.

Level 2 Korean Studies

Y12 Korean Studies is designed for students who have completed Y11 Korean Studies or who have a good knowledge of the Korean language and culture.

The Korean culture will be compared and contrasted with students’ cultural backgrounds.

Common Q&A 

Q: I am Korean, but my Korean is not good and I want to take this subject to improve my Korean. Can I take this course?

A: No. 11KOR or 12KOR does not fit your purpose. Instead, you should take 13NKO (Year 13 Korean for Native Speakers) in Year 13 which is a course designed for background speakers and native speakers to help improve and maintain their Korean language and cultural competency. 

Q: I didn't take Korean in Year 11 but I have done some self-studies and want to take 12KOR. Can I still take 12KOR?

A: You will need to request an exemption and see Mrs Jeen. 

Q: What do the assessments look like for this course?

A: You have two internal assessments and two external assessments.

  • Internal writing assessment (5 credits): Two short pieces of writing in Korean with resources to be completed over the year in class. 
  • Internal speaking assessment (4 credits): Two minute speech presentation in Korean. 
  • External listening exam (5 credits): Listen to three passages in Korean and answer the questions in English. This takes place at the end of the year.
