Throughout the semester, students will be exposed to a learning environment enriched with spoken Korean. Intercultural Virtual Exchange and Planning a school Exchange with a school in Korea gives students the opportunity to speak with and learn from each other and offers a platform where students can further develop their skills in intercultural competence.

Students will use the skills they gain in guided drill exercises in a larger communicative project (e.g., skit, presentation) for a more personalised and creative language-learning experience. Although primary emphasis is on the development of the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing), the course will also cover distinctive aspects of contemporary Korean culture that are both interesting and relevant to learners, regardless of cultural background.
By the end of the course, students who successfully complete the course should be able to
Engage in face-to-face conversations on broader topics of daily life and school exchange
Comprehend simple Korean texts and write on broader topics based on their personal experiences
Learn more about Korean culture and lifestyle
