1. Course Objective
Korean 10A is designed for college students who intend to build a solid foundation in
beginning level Korean. It is assumed that students have little or no knowledge of Korean.
This course not only covers the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, but
also aims to improve students’ abilities in pronunciation and vocabulary: particular
emphasis is placed on spoken language proficiency. Upon the successful completion of the
course, students will be able to communicate in everyday situations in simple Korean.
Topics include greetings, talking about campus life and family, numbers and telling time,
the course of daily life and weekend plans. Students will also be exposed to important
information on culture, contemporary issues, and traditions in Korea through video clips
and films.

Schulz, & Sohn. University of Hawai’i Press.

(1) Attendance and Participation (10%)
Students are expected to participate actively in the class and complete daily
assignments in each class. The absence policy will be strictly enforced. You may miss
up to two classes per semester. If you miss more than two classes, your grade will
automatically drop by one half grade for each absence over two. No absences over
two will be excused for any reason. If you come to class 15 minutes late (or more), it
will be counted as an absence. If you are late three times, it will be also counted as
one absence. If you cannot attend a class due to unavoidable health reasons, notify the
instructor before you miss the class by talking to the instructor in person, or by e-
mailing the instructor ([email protected]) to explain why. It is strongly
recommended that you do not miss any class in order to continue your lessons and
finish the semester successfully.
(2) Vocabulary Quiz (10%)
There will almost always be a vocabulary quiz in the beginning of the class. There
will be no make-up quiz. Thus, if you miss the first five minutes, there is no chance
for you to make up the missed vocabulary quiz.
(3) Homework (20%)
Workbook Assignments 14%
Two Video Clip Worksheet Assignments 2% (1% each)
Movie Reaction Paper 4%

You are expected to submit your homework to the instructor by the due date.
Assignments turned in late are eligible for half credit - at most. Late assignments
should be turned in for this partial credit within two weeks from the due date. After
two weeks, no credit will be given. Late assignments need to be put in the instructor’s
mail box. Please don’t hand in late assignments to the instructor.
All the workbook exercises should be written and then detached from the book for
submission. All writing assignments need to be double-spaced whether you hand-
write or type, leaving some space for instructor’s written feedback.
Success in this 4 credit hour course is based on the expectation that students will
spend a minimum of 9 hours of study time per week in preparation for class (preview,
review, workbook assignments, preparation for exams/quizzes, etc.).
Students will watch short video clips in class together and complete worksheet
assignments on the clips using grammar patterns and expressions that they learned in
class. Students will also develop their Korean language skills and cultural
awareness/knowledge through watching a Korean film. Movie reaction paper needs to
be submitted to the instructor by the due date. More detailed guidelines will be
provided later in class.
(4) Exams and Group Project (60%)
▪ Two Mid-term Written Exams (24%, 12% each):
First mid-term exam: L1 ~ L3
Second mid-term exam: L4 ~ L6
▪ Oral Mid-term Exam (8%): The oral test will be held in the form of an interview
and graded based upon the five evaluation criteria: fluency, accuracy, pronunciation,
content and vocabulary.
▪ Final Exam (18%): The final exam will be held in the final exam week. The final
exam does not include an oral part. The format of the final exam will be identical to
that of the midterm except that it will be slightly longer than the midterm and
cumulative.
▪ Group Project (Korean Skit 10%): Students will brainstorm, write and perform a
skit as a group in Korean. A specific topic and guide for the skit will be given.
Content and grammar of each skit will be consulted with the instructor during the skit
workshop classes. The Korean skit must be typed and submitted on the performance
day.
4. Academic Integrity and Disabilities
You are expected to be familiar with, and to follow, the University’s policies on academic
integrity. Please consult Brandeis University Rights and Responsibilities (Section 4) for
all policies and procedures (http://www.brandeis.edu/studentaffairs/srcs/rr/RR13_14.pdf).

All policies related to academic integrity apply to in-class and take home projects,
assignments, exams, and quizzes. Misconducts, such as, cheating on examinations,
representing the work of another as one’s own (= plagiarism), knowingly allowing another
student to represent your work as his or her own, etc., will be strictly prohibited in this
class. Students may only collaborate on assignments with permission from the instructor.
Allegations of alleged academic dishonesty will be forwarded to the Director of Academic
Integrity. Sanctions for academic dishonesty can include failing grades and/or suspension
from the university.
Students with documented disabilities are provided accommodations (e.g., extended time)
by the instructors (http://www.brandeis.edu/acserv/disabilities/accommodations.html). If
you are a student with a documented disability on record at Brandeis University and wish
to have a reasonable accommodation made for you in this class, please see me
immediately.
