Content Descriptor

recognise that hangeul and features of language are used to construct meaning in Korean

Elaborations

• differentiating hangeul from other forms of written expression such as the Roman alphabet, and identifying languages that may be spoken by students within the class
• recognising hangeul stroke order in writing syllable blocks
• noticing that the Korean copula alternates between 2 forms, –예요 and –이에요, and using it with own names, for example, 케이트예요, 마이클이에요
• recognising 요 as the informal polite sentence ending, for example, 따라하세요 and 안녕하세요?
• understanding that 저 is used to refer to self and 저는 means ‘I’ in a polite way
• identifying that a noun or a pronoun followed by a basic case marker such as –은/는 or –을/를 is a chunk which has a syntactic function in a sentence, for example, 우리는 or 우리를
• understanding how to make a simple question using a common question word, for example, 뭐 좋아해요?

Year 1 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 2, students use Korean language to interact and share information related to the classroom and themselves. They use cues to respond to questions and instructions, and use simple formulaic language. They locate and convey key items of information in texts using non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They use familiar words and modelled language to create texts. They copy some hangeul appropriate to context. Students imitate the sounds and rhythms of spoken Korean. They demonstrate understanding that Korean has conventions and rules for non-verbal communication, pronunciation and writing, and begin to identify hangeul. They give examples of similarities and differences between some features of Korean and English. They understand that language is connected with culture(s), and notice how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
