Content Descriptor

apply features of the Korean sound system, including pitch, rhythm, stress, pronunciation and intonation, and show how these are represented in familiar and some unfamiliar contexts

Elaborations

• pronouncing assimilated consonants, for example, 학년 [항년], 육년 [융년], 국물 [궁물]
•
recognising and using stress patterns appropriately to separate clauses, such as placing stress on the conjunction word, for example, 어제 떡볶이를 처음 먹었는데 정말 맛있었어
• pronouncing syllable blocks in a word, making appropriate changes to the sounds on syllable boundaries according to pronunciation rules, for example, pronouncing 한국어 as [한구거], 같이 as [가치], 감사합니다 as [감사함니다], 먹고 as [먹꼬] and 어떻게 as [어떠케]
•
understanding that stress can be placed on different parts of a sentence to create different meanings, for example, 어디가 아파요? “Where does it hurt?”, 어디가 아파요? “Are you unwell?”

Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students initiate and sustain Korean language to exchange and compare ideas and experiences about their own and others’ personal worlds. They communicate using non-verbal, spoken and written language to collaborate, plan and reflect on activities and events. They interpret and analyse information and ideas in texts and demonstrate understanding of different perspectives. They synthesise information and respond in Korean or English, adjusting language to convey meaning and to suit context, purpose and audience. They use structures and features of spoken and written Korean to create texts. Students apply features and conventions of spoken Korean to enhance fluency. They select and apply knowledge of language conventions, structures and features to interact, make meaning and create texts. They support discussion of structures and features of texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own language use and cultural identity, and draw on their experience of learning Korean, to discuss how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
