The course objective is for the students to gain knowledge of Korean Grammar, and to strengthen and maintain their proficiency level to ILR level 2+ or higher in Korean (reading, listening, speaking, and writing). By the end of this course, the students will be able to enhance their higher level lexical, structural, and socio-cultural competencies reflecting grammar. The course seeks to achieve this goal in a manner that differs from typical foundational grammar courses, in that this course does not examine grammatical features in isolation from one another (e.g. spending a day on the one grammar feature past tense without looking at other tenses); instead, this class examines grammar points as smaller systems lodged within a larger system (e.g. examining all verb tenses together to understand how they function as a group).
