Course Description:
This course is a continuation of Elementary Korean. Its aim is to consolidate students’
knowledge of the fundamental grammatical structures of Korean and to increase their ability to
communicate in Korean in a wide range of daily life situations. We will pay particular attention
to cultivating skills in the following areas: learning to express yourself with more sophisticated
vocabulary and grammar; sharpening your verbal skills so as to better reflect social status and
social distance by using appropriate verbs and forms of address; improving your ability to create
more natural-sounding sentences by stringing together a numbers of clauses in one sentence
using two or more connectives; and improving reading and translation skills.

Required Textbook:
Continuing Korean (Second Edition), by Ross King and Jae-hoon Yeon, with Insun Lee.
There will be a $15.00 fee towards other incidental xeroxing costs throughout the year.
