Content Descriptor

reflect on and evaluate Korean texts, using metalanguage to analyse language structures and features

Elaborations

• identifying register used in Korean texts, for example, the formal polite style used for statements, –ㅂ/습니다 and commands –(으)십시오 or vocabulary used to determine context, purpose and audience
• comparing and contrasting the structures of a variety of authentic texts in Korean and English, examining how the context, purpose and audience are considered differently in each language
• understanding that languages incorporate other languages into their systems and examining how this takes place in Korean, for example, 조깅해요, 온라인으로, 알바해요
• creating own texts in Korean in specific contexts, for specific purposes and audiences, for example, introducing Korean food culture to parents invited to a Korean culture evening, using a range of appropriate discourse devices for coherence and cohesion, including appropriate vocabulary
• comparing spoken and written texts such as spoken and printed advertisements, face-to-face conversations and text message threads, to understand how mode relates to linguistic structures and features, and how this affects meaning
• discussing language and language learning using metalanguage appropriately, for example, 단어, 문장, 문단, 띄어쓰기, 명사, 동사, 조사, 높임말/존댓말, 줄임말, 반말
• examining cohesive devices used in Korean texts, such as consistency in speech levels and honorific elements, and conjunctions, for example, –지만, –(으)니까, –므로, –아/어서, and conjunctive adverbs, for example, 하지만, 그러니까, 그러므로, 그래서, and their appropriateness for Korean discourse

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.
