Understanding
Systems of language
Recognise variations in Korean pronunciation across people from different regions of Korea but that spelling follows standardised rules
Apply further pronunciation rules to read less familiar texts in Korean
Write in Hangeul independently, observing writing conventions and rules
Begin to recognise the use of consonant clusters in batchim, a syllable-final consonant
Generate language for a range of purposes in spoken and written texts by extending understanding and use of context-related vocabulary and elements of the Korean grammatical system, including:
- using a range of case markers and particles, including honorific forms as applicable, for appropriate grammatical functions
- analysing the structure of complex verb phrases and expanding their use; for example,
알고 싶어요, 갔다 왔어요, 보러 가요 - reporting speech or thought using
-다고/-(이)라고; for example, 맞다고 생각해요,
3번이라고 생각해요 - connecting ideas in different relationships using a range of conjunctive suffixes; for example, 한국에 가면 부산에 가 보고싶어요
- using long negative forms of verbs, such as
-지 않아요., -지 못해요. - using the structures verb stem +-기 때문에 and noun + 에 대해서 appropriately; for example,
쓰레기 때문에 분리수거에 대해서 이야기해 봐요 - expanding the range and use of adverbs; for example, 훨씬, 함께, 겨우, 아마, 너무, 조금, 벌써, 아직
- understanding the concept of different speech levels and styles in Korean and using the sentence-final verb endings in three speech styles appropriately; for example, formal polite style, informal polite style and intimate style
- identifying and practising onomatopoeic and mimetic expressions in Korean; for example, 비가 주룩주룩 와요.
- using specialised vocabulary drawn from other learning areas or broader topics of interest, such as social or environmental issues; for example,
환경보호, 지구가 죽어요 - using reflective/sympathetic words or phrases to signal empathy, down-toning or indirect disagreement, or just as a pause-filler; for example, 음, 그렇지요?, 글쎄요.
- understanding and extending the use of honorific or humble vocabulary; for example,
할머니께 여쭤봐요.
Further develop a metalanguage to discuss and explain grammatical forms and functions
Analyse how different types of text incorporate cultural and contextual elements
Language variation and change
Analyse and explain how and why language is used differently in a range of texts, considering features such as dialects and register
Explain how Korean language and culture have evolved and how they continue to change over time, and understand that language use has the power to influence social and cultural relationships and practices
Role of language and culture
Understand that Korean language and culture are interrelated and that they shape and are shaped by each other in a given moment and over time
