COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
Korean 422 is designed for Korean Flagship B. A. and Certificate students to develop the professional
language skills of listening, reading, writing, and speaking and to deepen their knowledge and
understanding of contemporary Korean society through the analysis of authentic Korean media resources
such as newspapers, the Internet and TV news. It is essential for any professional in any Korea-related field
to have an adequate grasp of current Korean social, political, economic and cultural events, and media is
one of the most effective and widely available information sources to learn about these issues. The course
is designed to train students how to comprehend, analyze, translate, and critique current media texts. The
students will exchange feedback amongst themselves, give self-evaluations, and receive individualized
feedback from the instructor. The course will also involve some formal speaking.
II.

1. Attendance & Participation (10%)
Attendance is a critical component of the course. If you are late or absent, it is YOUR responsibility to
contact the instructor to make up for the missed work. Additionally, active class participation will help
improve your language proficiency.
An absence will be counted as an absence regardless of the reason, and will be excused only
upon the instructor’s discretion for extenuating circumstances with verifiable written
document on a case by case basis. Being tardy or leaving early multiple times will add up to
absence. (Usually, 3 tardiness or early leaves will equal one absence.) Being late to class or
leaving early by twenty minutes or more will constitute an absence. You may still join the
class if you are late; however, please remember that tardiness can be disruptive to the class.
If you accumulate three (3) or more unexcused absences, you will automatically get an F for the
course. (Please note that this policy does NOT translate into automatically passing the course if you
have less than three absences.)
2. News Report (5%)
At the beginning of each class, each student will share a current news item about or related to
Korea. The title, author, and a Korean source should be submitted in Laulima by 8PM the
Monday evening before the class day. Please use one of the major Korean newspapers or
television stations. News should be recent, preferably be dated within a week, or at least
within a month
3. Assignments (40%)
Each unit will have a reading rendition and listening summary assignments. The focus of
rendition will vary from assignment to assignment (e.g., accuracy, Romanization, fluency,
etc.). Reading and listening assignments can be found in Laulima Resources page, and are to
be uploaded in Laulima Drop Box when completed. The students will exchange peer feedback.
Peer feedback should be emailed to your peer, and uploaded in Laulima in a folder titled
'Feedback'. Please print the peer feedback you give, bring it to class, and give it to the author.
Late submission will result in deduction in points. The lowest set of grade will be excluded
from the final grade.
4. Discussion Leading (10%)
Students will take turns leading class discussion on rendition and summary.

V.
STUDENT CONDUCT INCLUDING PLAGIARISM
Please be familiar with the expected student conduct at UH. It is ultimately each student’s responsibility to
understand the rules including plagiarism and academic dishonesty, and to learn how to avoid such
violations. At UH, common consequences for such violations include failing the assignment, failing the
course, suspension from the university, or even expulsion. For details, go to
http://www.studentaffairs.manoa.hawaii.edu/policies/conduct_code/impermissible_behavior.php
It is ok to get help from other (native) Korean speakers for your study as long as you include an
acknowledgement. However, I need to see YOUR Korean and YOUR progress. For example, it all right to
have someone else proof-read your writing, but the original work must be yours.
VI.
VISITORS AND RECORDING
Throughout the course, there may be visitors who come to observe the instructor and the class. Reasons for
the visit may include professional development for teaching, research, etc. The instructor will try to
announce the visit in advance whenever possible. Also, audio or video recording of the class may take
place. If you do not feel comfortable about the recording, please let the instructor know.
VII. CLASS RULES
1. Come to class prepared by pre-&reviewing the lesson materials for that day and participate actively!
2. Learn and internalize the given material by using them in and out of the class. Please try to
speak in Korean only. I will be talking mostly in Korean to provide you with as much input
as possible, too. Do not be discouraged if you do not understand every word. However, if
you did not understand something, there is a good chance that other classmates did not either,
so do not be shy about asking questions or requesting repetitions.
3. Notice and evaluate your own learning/strategies and take the responsibility of learning.
4. Understand that language learning is a fun and exciting process of acquiring another cultural
perspective and system of expression.
5. Understand that second language learning is one of the hardest intellectual challenges, and
that challenge can be met only by perseverance.
6. I am always willing to provide extra help. You should take advantage of the office hours.
7. Use of personal laptop and other materials irrelevant to instruction is not allowed.
8. No eating and gum chewing is allowed.
9. Please turn off any devices such cell phone that might disrupt the class.
10. Be respectful of others; treat other the way you want to be treated.
VIII. MISCELLANEOUS
1. Korean Culture Activities
A culture is an important part of language learning. There will be various cultural activities throughout
the year. They are an important part of the culture learning of the course, so please mark your calendar,
get involved, and have fun!
2. Letter of Recommendation

help me in writing the recommendation letter.
