Content Descriptor

compare Korean language structures and features with English, using familiar metalanguage

Elaborations

• identifying the purpose, intended audience and key language features of short texts such as road signs or instructions, and comparing these with English versions of similar texts, for example, 천천히 versus ‘drive slowly’, 미세요/당기세요 versus ‘push’/‘pull’
• identifying conventions of familiar text types such as letters, emails or greeting/invitation cards, and comparing them with English, for example, salutations, the order of elements in an address, and format of the date, … 에게, … 로부터, 4월 3일 금요일
• recognising the similarities in key features of Korean and English texts such as stories, songs and conversation
• observing how differently abbreviated forms in multimedia and social media are accepted in Korean and English, for example, 쌤, 여친, 남친
• collecting and analysing samples of language from multimodal texts to explore differences in communicative style and expression between social groups in Korean and Australian cultures, for example, 어서 오세요 to mean “Welcome”, and 밥 먹었어요? to mean “How are you?”

Year 7 Languages Achievement Standard

By the end of Year 8, students use Korean language to interact and collaborate with others, and to share information and plan activities in familiar contexts. They respond to others’ contributions, and recognise familiar gestures, questions and instructions in exchanges. They recognise relationships between spoken and written forms. They locate and respond to information in texts and use non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They respond in Korean or English, and demonstrate understanding of context, purpose and audience in texts. They use familiar language, and modelled sentence and grammatical structures to create texts in hangeul, with support. Students approximate pronunciation and intonation in spoken Korean. They recognise the function of hangeul and demonstrate understanding that Korean has conventions and rules for non-verbal, spoken and written communication. They comment on aspects of Korean and English language structures and features, using metalanguage. They demonstrate awareness that the Korean language is connected with culture and identity, and that this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
