Fourth Year Korean I

This course allows advanced-level students to further develop their reading comprehension of authentic texts through the acquisition of advanced-level vocabulary and expressions, and to discuss and write on various topics and issues related to contemporary Korea. Students are expected to be able to present their arguments and provide supporting details in coherent and cohesive manners when dealing with abstract topics that require them to think critically and organize their thoughts. Toward the end of a class, students will choose an article on the topic of their choice, present their analysis and understanding while leading an in-class discussion, and write a short reflection paper.
