Content descriptor recognise and use features of the Korean sound system, including pitch, rhythm, stress, pronunciation and intonation, and demonstrate understanding of how these are represented in familiar contexts

Elaborations

• • Elaboration listening to and reproducing the sounds of Korean, noticing sound–symbol correspondence, for example, in consonants, 발 versus 팔, 갈 versus 칼, in diphthongs transcribed as combinations of vowel letters 반가워요, 와요, 왜, 의사, 가위, and in tense consonants transcribed by double-consonant letters, 살 versus 쌀, 자요 versus 짜요, 고리 versus 꼬리, 방 versus 빵
• • Elaboration recognising the differences in intonation between statements, questions, requests and commands, for example, 가요, 가요? 가요!
• • Elaboration showing understanding of the correct placement of letters in written form, as opposed to pronunciation in spoken form, through dictation practice, for example, 한국어가 재미있어요 [한구거가 재미읻써요], 옷이 예뻐요 [오시 예뻐요], 책을 읽어요 [채글 일거요]
• • Elaboration constructing syllable blocks in different shapes, where a consonant and a vertical vowel are positioned side by side, for example, 가, a horizontal vowel is positioned underneath a consonant, for example, 누, or a consonant or a consonant cluster is added as a syllable-final consonant, 받침, under the first 2 types of syllable blocks, for example, 각, 눈, 닭
• • Elaboration recognising and using the pronunciation rules for syllable-final consonants, for example, that any consonant can be syllable-final, but there are only 7 syllable-final sounds
• • Elaboration knowing that for syllable-final double consonants, in most cases only the first final consonant is pronounced, except for 닭 and 삶
