Module summary

Lower intermediate Korean is for students who have already studied Korean for about 2 years/about 90 hours and have reached GCSE, CEFR A2 or equivalent. The emphasis is on achieving a good level of communication and accuracy in speaking, listening, reading and writing and a deeper understanding of Korean culture. You will develop your presentation skills, your research skills using resources in Korean and your reporting skills.
