    1. COURSE OBJECTIVE
    This hybrid online course is designed to elevate Korean language proficiency through Korean TV
    dramas. Through the contextually rich texts of the dramas, and through frequent discussions
    sessions, this course will also offer an opportunity to increase students awareness about Korean
    culture, a crucial element in advancing their proficiency. Adapting interactive multimedia programs
    and elaborate online instructional designs, including various modes of language learning (listening,
    listening, writing and reading), this course will assist and motivate students to obtain the two main
    objectives mentioned above: increasing Korean language proficiency and gaining valuable cultural
    awareness.

    2. COURSE CONTENT
    A. Course contents and instruction
    My Lovely Samsoon ( ), one of the most popular Korean TV dramas, has a
    total of 16 episodes (each approximately 60 minutes). Out of these 16 episodes, you are
    responsible to watch 7 episodes throughout the program (other episodes will be briefly summarized
    in class on as online assignment). This course is composed of three main types of class activities:
    lecture on cultural issues and relevant linguistic materials presented in each episode; students
    presentation and group discussion; and online practice and assignments.

    Lecture: Some cultural and linguistic topics embedded in each episode of the TV drama
    will be introduced and discussed using the corresponding scripts and some video excerpts
    (you will be assigned to watch the complete relevant episode before coming to class).
    Handouts will be provided for each episode, giving an outline of what is to be discussed.

    Online Assignment and Exercises


    Online activities and assignments are important parts of the course. These activities and
    assignments are expected to be completed daily. Online exercises will include vocabulary
    homework, various speaking & listening exercises, episode quizzes, summary
    recordings/writings and many others.
    1) Speaking and Listening exercises: Numerous contexts from the drama are chosen for
    oral practices. Contexts including job interview, arranged marriage meetings, describing
    personalities of self and others, casual small talks and conversing with socially higher

    members including mothers-in-law, employers and senior members are used. Students are
    expected to use appropriate conversational styles to complete these exercises.
    Occasionally, episode summary must be submitted orally. If this is the case, the summary
    will be recorded and uploaded on the web. The recording should not last longer than 4
    minutes.
    2) Summary and other online activities. After viewing the assigned episode, each of you
    will summarize the episode with fifteen or more sentences based on the comprehension
    questions provided to help you follow the storyline of each excerpt. Other online activities
    such as vocabulary homework and summary quizzes will vary based on each episode.

    Students presentation and discussion: Each group of two students gives an oral
    presentation about the episode and the presentation will include: analyzing and interpreting
    the culturally salient features that appeared in the episode. All students must have a
    consultation session with the TA before presentation and all presentation will be video
    recorded for assessment purpose.

    B. Grading
    Grading will be distributed as follows:
    Class participation & attendance (TA)
    15% (0 -3pts. Scale)
    Online assignments
    45%
    1 Oral presentation
    20%
    1 Final interview
    20%
    ________________________________________________________
    100%

    As noted above, class participation and attendance is 15% of the grade. This is due to many
    in-class discussion and performance. A daily grade ranging from 0 to 3 points will be given
    based on your participation in small group discussion, quality of in-class performance
    or presentation and attendance.

    For the final interview, you will be graded upon how well you use materials that were
    covered in class. More detailed information will be given in class.

    C. NO make-up assignments are allowed. However, students with very legitimate excuses, such as
    a death in family, hospitalization, and military training, will be given a chance to make-up missed
    assignments only if the situation is discussed with the instructor in advance. Starting from the
    second absence during the program, points will be deducted. Unexcused tardiness will be counted
    as absence.
