Content Descriptor

identify connections between Korean language and cultural practices

Elaborations

• discussing the influence of Korean on other languages and the influence of other languages such as Chinese, Japanese, English, French and Italian on Korean, over time
• recognising the different ways of naming, greeting and addressing someone, for example, by first name or title, including the selective use of honorifics and aspects of body language such as making or avoiding eye contact
• reflecting on different ways of communicating and their appropriateness in Korean or non-Korean contexts, for example, using 언니/누나 and 오빠/형 for older siblings in Korean versus using their first names in English as terms of address
• exploring representations of information used in cultural expressions of First Nations Australians and making connections with those of Korean language and culture, for example, discovering different regional words used by First Nations groups to identify themselves, such as Zenadth Kes, Koori, Koorie, Noongar and Nunga, and finding out if similar identification occurs in Korean-speaking cultural groups
• sharing ideas about how some Australian terms and expressions might be understood or confusing from a Korean perspective, for example, ‘bushwalking’ or ‘kick a footy’

Year 3 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 4, students use Korean language to initiate structured interactions to share information related to the classroom and their personal worlds. They use modelled language to participate in spoken and written activities that involve planning. They locate and respond to key items of information in texts using strategies to help interpret and convey meaning in familiar contexts. They use modelled language and basic syntax to create texts in hangeul, with support. Students imitate hangeul sounds, pronunciation and intonation patterns of spoken Korean. They demonstrate understanding that Korean has non-verbal, spoken and written language conventions and rules to create and make meaning. They recognise that some terms have cultural meanings. They identify patterns in Korean and make comparisons between Korean and English. They understand that the Korean language is connected with culture, and identify how this is reflected in their own language(s) and culture(s).
