Content Descriptor

apply features, conventions and phrasing patterns of spoken Korean in both formal and informal speech, to extend fluency in responding to and creating texts in familiar and unfamiliar contexts

Elaborations

• understanding that there are variations in Korean pronunciation across different regions of Korea, but that spelling follows standardised rules
• using Korean pronunciation and spelling rules for listening to and reading authentic texts, and producing own written and oral texts
• knowing when to pause in complex sentences with embedded clauses
• understanding that many honorific expressions occur in everyday speech simply as a formality, for example, announcements and warnings use the phrasing pattern -시기 바랍니다, offering meals with an idiomatic expression 맛있게 드세요, welcoming people with 어서 오세요, sending people who are leaving for a short time away with 다녀 오세요

Year 9 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 10, students contribute to and extend interactions in Korean language in increasingly unfamiliar contexts related to a wide range of interests and issues. They interpret texts by evaluating and synthesising information, ideas and perspectives. They show understanding of how features of language can be used to influence audience response. They create texts, selecting and manipulating language for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences. They apply and use complex sentences and structures to create and respond to spoken and written texts. They use a variety of tenses to sequence events and use language devices to enhance meaning and cohesion. Students incorporate the features and conventions of spoken Korean to extend fluency. They demonstrate understanding of the conventions of spoken and written texts and the connections between them. They apply knowledge of language structures and features to make and predict meaning. They support analysis of Korean texts, using metalanguage. They reflect on their own cultural perspectives and identity, and draw on their experience of learning Korean, to evaluate how this learning influences their ideas and ways of communicating.
