Year 2 Syllabus
Year Level Description
Year 2 Korean: Second Language builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding required to communicate in the Korean language developed in Year 1 and focuses on extending students’ oral communication skills.
In Year 2, students communicate in Korean, interacting with their teacher and peers in routine exchanges, such as asking each other how they are, offering wishes and sharing information about events in the day and over the year. They participate in guided collaborative tasks, taking turns, exchanging and negotiating, or responding to teacher talk and instruction in Korean. Students identify specific points of information from familiar types of simple texts to complete guided tasks and convey factual information about their personal worlds. They participate in listening to, viewing and reading imaginative texts, and create stories and perform imaginative scenarios.
Students become familiar with the systems of the Korean language, recognising and reproducing the sounds, rhythms and intonation patterns of spoken Korean and associating individual syllable blocks with their pronunciation. They notice and use context-related vocabulary and understand some first elements of grammar in simple spoken and written texts, such as verb endings and the use of case markers, to generate language for purposeful interaction.
In Year 2, students recognise that all languages, including Korean, change continuously over time through contact with each other and changes in society. They understand that Korean speakers change how they use language in different situations and according to cultural norms.
Students learn Korean in the early years through rich language input. At this stage, play and imaginative activities, music, movement and familiar routines, along with continuous feedback and opportunities to revisit, recycle and review, provide the essential scaffolding to assist students in the language learning process.
Communicating
Socialising
Interact with teacher and peers orally and in writing to participate in routine exchanges, asking each other how they are and offering wishes, and to share information about events in the day and over the year; for example, 안녕윤미야? 만나서반가워!; 메리 크리스마스!; 오늘 생일이에요.; 생일 축하해!;
낮에 노래해요.; 밤에 공부해요.
Participate in guided collaborative tasks, transactions and games such as 딱지치기,
가위 바위 보, using simple language to take turns, exchange and negotiate
Respond to teacher talk and instruction; for example, 보세요., 자르세요., 붙이세요.
Informing
Identify specific points of information from familiar types of simple spoken, written or digital texts to complete guided tasks related to their personal worlds
Convey factual information about their personal worlds using familiar words and phrases, simple statements and modelled language
Creating
Participate in listening to, viewing and reading imaginative texts and responding through action, performance, shared reading and collaborative retelling
Create stories and perform imaginative scenarios through role play, mime, drawing, oral discussion or scaffolded writing activities, using familiar words and modelled language; for example, 옛날 옛날에
Translating
Translate for others what they can express in Korean, interpreting simple expressions and songs such as 생일 축하 노래, and explaining how meanings are similar or different in English or other languages
Show understanding that some Korean and English words are similar by recognising English words used in Korean; for example, 피아노, 바나나
Reflecting
Recognise similarities and differences between aspects of Korean and Australian cultural practices and related language use
Understanding
Systems of language
Recognise the sounds of the Korean language and the forms of Hangeul syllable blocks, and understand that the syllable block is the basic unit of writing in Korean, associating individual syllable blocks with their pronunciation
Recognise the sounds of four basic three-stroke vowel letters:ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅠ, ㅛ
Reproduce sounds, rhythms and intonation patterns of spoken Korean
Recognise Hangeul sounds by pointing at symbols on the Hangeul chart
Recognise the basic order of strokes in writing syllable blocks
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:
- beginning to use basic verbs with the -해요 ending in sentences; for example, 노래해요.;
공부해요.; 요리해요. - recognising a structure where a noun or pronoun is followed by a basic case marker, such as
-은/는, -이/가, -에 and -을/를 - understanding how to construct a simple question using a basic question word; for example,
뭐 해요?
어때요? 주세요. - recognising and using simple vocabulary to describe simple actions, states or qualities in familiar contexts, including time of the day and weather
Understand that language is organised as ‘text’ that takes different forms and uses different structures and features to achieve its purpose
Language variation and change
Understand that Korean speakers use language differently in different situations and according to cultural norms, such as when at home with the family or in the classroom
Role of language and culture
Recognise that all languages, including Korean, change continuously over time through contact with each other and through changes in society
Achievement standard
At standard, students use simple modelled language when participating in spoken and written routine exchanges in Korean, to share information about how they are, offer wishes and talk about events in the day and over the year. Students identify some specific points of information in simple texts to mostly complete guided tasks, and they make use of familiar words and phrases, simple statements and modelled language, to convey factual information about their personal worlds. They listen to, view and read imaginative texts and respond in some detail using simple verbal and non-verbal forms of expression and some modelled language. Students create stories and perform imaginative scenarios, using familiar words and modelled language. They translate for others some of what they can express in Korean, and state how meanings are similar or different in English. Students recognise similarities and differences between cultural practices and related language use of Korean-speaking communities and of Australia.
Students become familiar with the Korean sound and writing systems, with a satisfactory level of accuracy, using words and expressions to convey factual information at word and simple sentence level, and some first elements of grammar to write simple texts. They identify some different forms of texts that use different structures and features to achieve their purpose. Students identify some ways Korean speakers use language differently in different situations, and between people, and some ways that the Korean language has changed over time through its contact with other languages and changes in society.
