Content Descriptor

apply strategies to interpret and convey meaning in Korean language in familiar non-verbal, spoken and written cultural contexts

Elaborations

• applying strategies to communicate with a person older than themselves, such as verbally agreeing with what they say and avoiding expressing a contradictory opinion, for example, 네, 동의해요, 맞습니다
• identifying words in Korean and English that cannot be readily translated and clarifying meanings for such words by providing examples, explanations or extra information, for example, recognising and explaining the difference between 벼 (rice as a crop), 쌀 (rice as raw grains), 밥 (cooked rice/meals)
• using bilingual resources for language learning, for example, using glossaries or online dictionaries to find examples and explanations of parts of speech and language use
• reflecting on diverse interpretations of everyday language use in Korean, for example, the possibility that certain phrases such as 어디 가요? and 밥 먹었어요? can be greetings or genuine questions depending on the context
• finding examples of and reflecting on the significance of gestures across cultures, for example, bowing, not making eye contact when talking to a person older than themselves, shaking hands
• understanding that the Korean language is constantly expanding to include new words and expressions, for example, a growing number of English words being borrowed or adopted into Korean 핸드폰 for mobile phone, 노트북 for laptop, 아이쇼핑 for window shopping

By the end of Year 6, students initiate and use strategies to maintain interactions in Korean language that are related to their immediate environment. They use appropriate sound combinations, intonation and rhythm in spoken texts. They collaborate in spoken and written activities that involve the language of planning and problem-solving to share information, ideas and preferences. They use strategies to locate and interpret information and ideas in texts, and demonstrate understanding by responding in Korean or English, adjusting their response to context, purpose and audience. They create texts, selecting and using a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures to suit context. They sequence information and ideas, and write in hangeul, using conventions appropriate to text type. Students apply rules of hangeul sound combinations, pronunciation and intonation in spoken Korean. They apply conventions of punctuation and use modelled structures when creating and responding in Korean. They compare language structures and features in Korean and English, using some metalanguage. They show understanding of how some language reflects cultural practices and consider how this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
