COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is designed for Korean heritage students with some oral proficiency and some basic reading and writing skills.

This class accelerates two-years of Korean classes (Korean I & Korean II) into a year.

Students will be doing extensive writing practice, reading authentic materials and watching videos and learning many cultural aspects of Korea.
EVALUATION METHOD: Grades will be given based on weekly quizzes and tests, assignments, attendance and performance, and final examination.
