Korean 5 is designed for students with a solid foundation in Korean language and aims to refine their proficiency. Students will gain more sophisticated and effective conversational skills by engaging with various real-life situations. A variety of textual and visual materials on popular culture, employment, and matters of public or community concern encourage students to broaden their linguistic and cultural horizon. Through interactive activities, discussions, and practical exercises, students navigate more complex communicative situations and unexpected turns of events. Additionally, students improve their skills in articulating opinions and analysing information by exploring personal cultural interests. Successful completion of this course solidifies students’ upper-intermediate level of Korean proficiency.
