By the end of Year 8, students use Korean language to interact and collaborate with others, and to share information and plan activities in familiar contexts. They respond to others’ contributions, and recognise familiar gestures, questions and instructions in exchanges. They recognise relationships between spoken and written forms. They locate and respond to information in texts and use non-verbal, visual and contextual cues to help make meaning. They respond in Korean or English, and demonstrate understanding of context, purpose and audience in texts. They use familiar language, and modelled sentence and grammatical structures to create texts in hangeul, with support.
Students approximate pronunciation and intonation in spoken Korean. They recognise the function of hangeul and demonstrate understanding that Korean has conventions and rules for non-verbal, spoken and written communication. They comment on aspects of Korean and English language structures and features, using metalanguage. They demonstrate awareness that the Korean language is connected with culture and identity, and that this is reflected in their own language(s), culture(s) and identity.
