develop strategies to comprehend and adjust Korean language in familiar contexts to convey cultural meaning

Elaborations

• 1 participating appropriately in familiar situations (greetings, self-introductions, etc.) and identifying the different uses of language in specific contexts, for example, using polite informal forms 저는 민수예요 and 네 with the teacher and 나는 민수야 and 응 with peers
• 2 translating Korean texts such as ‘please knock’, 노크하세요, understanding how meaning changes when translated into English and how some Korean expressions demonstrate cultural differences
• 3 producing bilingual word lists or flashcards by identifying known Korean words or expressions and relating them to English equivalents and vice versa, noticing that direct translation sometimes does not work
• 4 discovering individual words and expressions which may be interpreted differently by people who do not know Korean culture, for example, 우리 집, 우리 선생님
• 5 watching interactions in Korean and identifying appropriate gestures that accompany language, for example, passing objects with both hands to show respect to a teacher or visitor to the school
• 6 identifying words that change their meaning such as 집 home/house, depending on its context, for example, 집에 가요 “I’m going home”, versus 우리 집이에요 “This is our house”
• 7 exploring descriptions in Korean and English for familiar topics, identifying vocabulary with similarities or differences in meaning between the 2 languages, for example, a description about a friend 수미는 착해요; 착한 아이예요 meaning good in English and good, nice and kind in Korean
• 8 reflecting on contexts where cultural elements are embedded in language use in Korean, for example, bowing when saying 안녕하세요? and comparing this with equivalent contexts and ways of using language in English
