Korean

This course provides students with the opportunity to develop their linguistic and intercultural knowledge and understanding, and the speaking, listening, reading and writing skills to communicate in Korean.

The Republic of Korea is a high-tech nation and a leading innovator. Australia and Korea enjoy a strong economic and political partnership based on common values and interests. Korea continues to be one of Australia’s strongest and most complementary economic partners in the Asia-Pacific region. Korean is an important community language within our multicultural Australian society and knowledge of Korean enables our young people to engage in and promote closer relations with Korean speakers.

Topics covered provide contexts in which students develop their communication skills in Korean and their knowledge and understanding of language and culture.

Learning Korean

Studying a language course should enable students to:

  • develop the ability to move between cultures, in the process, experience, value, and embrace the diversity of humanity.
  • facilitate cognitive and intellectual development through creativity.
  • enhance skills in analysis, negotiation and problem solving.

Common subjects that are linked with Korean studies includes and is not limited to trade, commerce, tourism, technology, international relations and education both domestically and internationally.

The new Korean syllabus has been developed using the established NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) syllabus development process. The syllabus includes Australian Curriculum content and content that clarifies learning for Korean from Kindergarten to Year 10. The Stage statements for Early Stage 1 to Stage 5 reflect the intent of the Australian Curriculum achievement standards. 

The syllabus identifies the knowledge, understanding, skills, values and attitudes students are expected to develop at each stage, from Kindergarten to Year 10.

The Years 7–10 section of the Korean syllabus has been designed to be taught within the mandatory 100-hour Language requirement for the Record of School Achievement (RoSA) and supports any additional (elective) study of Korean. 

NESA continues to promote a standards-referenced approach to assessing and reporting student achievement. The approaches of assessment for, assessment as and assessment of learning are important to guide future teaching and learning opportunities and to provide students with ongoing feedback.
