Understanding
Systems of language
Reproduce pronunciation, intonation and stress, recognising the relationship between sounds, words and meaning
Recognise basic punctuation in writing, including a question mark ‘?’ for questions, an exclamation mark ‘!’ for expressing emotions and a full stop ‘.’ for other types of sentences
Read and write simple words using Hangeul
Generate language for a range of purposes in simple spoken and written texts by recognising and using context-related vocabulary and elements of the Korean grammatical system, including:
- recognising the noun + - (으)로, as a set phrase; for example, 한국어로 뭐예요?
- recognising and using the particle -하고; for example, 친구하고 카로셀에 가요.
- recognising and using the particle -에서 as an additional indicator of location of things; for example, 집에서 가까워요.
- using 가까워요 and 멀어요 to describe distance between two places
- using question words to ask about reasons and prices in set phrases; for example, 왜요?;
얼마예요? - expanding the use of number expressions with appropriate counters; for example, 한 개, 삼 학년, 이천 원
- extending knowledge in the Sino-Korean numbering system to apply to appropriate contexts, such as money and addresses
- describing emotions, feelings or viewpoints; for example, 재밌어요.; 어려워요.
- using vocabulary to describe basic activities in and locations of school, home and surrounding environments
Build a metalanguage in Korean to comment on vocabulary and grammar, and describe patterns, grammatical rules and variations in language structures
Recognise that spoken, written and multimodal Korean texts have certain conventions and can take different forms depending on the context in which they are produced
