Year 1 Syllabus
Year Level Description
Year 1 Korean: Second Language builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding required to communicate in the Korean language developed in Pre-primary and focuses on extending students’ oral communication skills. Typically, the students’ only exposure to and experience of Korean language and culture is from their school learning environment.
In Year 1, students communicate in Korean, interacting with their teacher and peers to share information about themselves, their age and where they live, and to talk about their likes and dislikes. They participate in guided collaborative tasks using simple modelled language in songs, rhymes and games to support understanding and to convey meaning, or to respond to teacher talk and instruction in Korean. Students locate key words, simple Hanguel and information in simple spoken and written texts about their personal worlds and convey factual information using pictures, familiar words and simple statements. They participate in listening to and viewing short imaginative texts and in the shared performance of imaginative texts.
Students become familiar with the systems of the Korean language, recognising and replicating the sounds and rhythms of spoken Korean and the forms of Hanguel syllable blocks. They notice and use context-related vocabulary and recognise some first elements of grammar in simple spoken and written texts to generate language for purposeful interaction.
In Year 1, students recognise that Australia is a multilingual society with speakers of many different languages, including Korean, and that Korean and English borrow words and expressions from each other. They recognise that in Korean, as in English and other languages, there are different ways of greeting, addressing and interacting with people, and that particular interactions can vary between cultural contexts.
Students learn Korean in the early years through rich language input. Regular opportunities to revisit, recycle and review and, continuous feedback, response and encouragement, assist students in the language learning process.
Communicating
Socialising
Interact with teacher and peers orally and in writing to share information about themselves, their age and where they live, and to talk about their likes and dislikes; for example, 안녕? 나는 민아야.; 저는 여섯 살이에요.; 저는 퍼스에 살아요.; 호주 사람이에요? 네, 호주 사람이에요.; 고양이를 좋아해요.;
저는 빨간색을 안 좋아해요.
Participate in guided collaborative tasks, using simple modelled language in songs, rhymes, games such as 무궁화 꽃이 피었습니다, gestures and pictures to support understanding and to convey meaning
Respond to teacher talk and instruction; for example, 네.;아니요.
Informing
Locate key words, simple Hangeul and information in simple spoken and written texts, such ascharts, lists, labels and captions, rhymes and songs related to their personal worlds
Convey factual information about their personal worlds using pictures, labels, captions, familiar words and simple statements
Creating
Participate in listening to and viewing short imaginative texts and responding through action, dance, singing, drawing and collaborative retelling
Participate in the shared performance of songs, rhymes, stories and the presentation of action stories using verbal and non-verbal forms of expression and modelled language; for example,
머리 어깨 무릎 발
Translating
Share with others simple Korean expressions, sounds and gestures, name familiar objects and use Korean and/or English to conduct simple conversations
Show understanding that some Korean and English words are similar by recognising Korean words used in English; for example, bingsu, kimchi
Reflecting
Notice ways of talking in Korean that appear different from their own ways and become aware of how voice, behaviour and body language may change when speaking Korean
Understanding
Systems of language
Recognise and differentiate the sounds of spoken Korean; for example, categorising names according to their first consonant, such as 미셸, 마크, 마이클
Recognise the sounds of six basic two-stroke vowel letters: ㅏ, ㅓ, ㅜ, ㅗ, ㅡ, ㅣ
Recognise and replicate the sounds and rhythms of spoken Korean and the forms of Hangeul syllable blocks
Understand that the syllable block is the basic unit of writing in Korean; for example, identifying syllable blocks that make up Korean words, such as 아기 which has two syllable blocks
Recognise simple Hangeul using early language strategies; for example, sounding out vowels using their arms
Generate language for a range of purposes in simple spoken and written texts by noticing and using context-related vocabulary and some first elements of the Korean grammatical system, including:
- recognising that -요 at the end of a sentence can be used with different intonation for a question or statement; for example, 좋아해요? and 좋아해요.
- understanding and using 제/저 to refer to the self in sentences
- recognising and responding to simple questions using 네/아니요 (to express dis/agreement) and 안 (for affirmative or negative responses)
- recognising simple vocabulary to identify and describe familiar animals, objects and environments, including colours
Understand that language is organised as ‘text’ and that different types of texts have different features
Language variation and change
Recognise that Korean speakers use language differently in different situations such as when socalising with peers and friends or at home with the family
Role of language and culture
Recognise that Australia is a multilingual society with speakers of many different languages, including Korean, and that Korean and English borrow words and expressions from each other
Achievement standard
At standard, students use simple modelled language, gestures and other forms of expression, with occasional guidance, when participating in spoken and written interactions in Korean, to share information about themselves, their age and where they live, and to talk about their likes and dislikes. They locate some key words and information in simple texts and convey some factual information about their personal worlds using verbal and non-verbal forms of expression. Students respond to short imaginative texts and participate in the shared performance of these texts using familiar verbal and non-verbal forms of expression and well-rehearsed modelled language. When translating, students use Korean and/or English to share with others simple Korean expressions, sounds and gestures and to name some familiar objects. They talk about how voice, behaviour and body language may change when speaking Korean.
Students become familiar with the Korean sound and writing systems, recognising simple vocabulary to identify and describe familiar animals, objects and environments, and using some first elements of grammar, with a satisfactory level of accuracy. They make some comments about how language is organised as ‘text’ and that different types of texts have different features. Students recognise that there are different ways interacting with people in Korean, and usually act accordingly. They recognise that Korean is one of the many languages spoken in Australia and identify some words and expressions that Korean and English borrow from each other.
