Expanding on Korean 3, Korean 4 is designed to propel students towards an intermediate proficiency level by emphasizing vocabulary expansion and the construction of complex sentences. Students attain comprehensive communicative skills across diverse topics such as food, health, personality, places, and accidents. Engaging in real-life scenarios, students develop fluency and confidence in navigating common tasks, such as offering recommendations, seeking permissions or assistance, and addressing issues using both casual and polite speech styles. Additionally, students gain insights into traditional Korean customs through the exploration of cultural values, holidays, and etiquette, and through comparisons with their own cultural heritage. Successful completion of this course prepares students for an upper-intermediate level of Korean proficiency.
