Korean: Summer Intensive Introductory Korean

Program(s): Sli Precollege, Sli Undergrad

*Taught Online*  This 8-week course will provide beginners with a basic foundation in modern Korean. In particular, this course offers a balanced emphasis on oral communication and listening and reading comprehension. It also develops students' writing abilities and familiarity with casual and formal speech situations. Students will build their interpersonal, interpretational, and presentational skills in using the target language for real-life purposes. The course will meet for 3-4 hours in the mornings, and students are expected to spend several hours preparing for class in the afternoons and evenings. Korean culture will be incorporated into the course using contemporary Korean media, music, and other materials. The curriculum for Intensive Introductory Korean is the equivalent of the KORE 10100-10200-10300 sequence during the regular academic year at the University of Chicago.
