Levels Of Proficiency And Proficiency Descriptions
NYC Korean School provides a variety of classes for students of different Korean proficiencies. The Korean Language and Culture Program consists of three levels: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced.
Beginning Proficiency: It is designed to introduce spoken Korean to students at an elementary level. The course approach emphasizes Korean language structure, vocabulary, and basic communication. Through interaction in the classroom, the students will practice essential communication in Korean. Students can also use idiomatic/fixed expressions in a predictable way.
Intermediate Proficiency: It is continuation of the elementary program. This program introduces to students the challenge of developing intermediate functions and focuses on expanded vocabulary, conversational skills, and written communication. Students are required to write and discuss given topics. Students learn to engage in daily conversation using past, present, and future tense in and appropriate way. They also can handle straightforward survival situations.
Advanced Proficiency: It is a continuation of the intermediate program. Designed for students with a solid knowledge of written and spoken Korean who want to become more skilled in the use of Korean syntax and stylistic expression and acquire a more in-depth knowledge of Korean contemporary civilization. Students can also communicate with accuracy and fluency in carious topics in formal and informal settings from both concrete and abstract perspectives.
Welcome to NYC Korean School. As the Principal of our school, I would like to address my hopes for our school’s future. More than anything, it is my vision to build a stronger school and stronger community. There may be different ways to achieve such excellence but I would like to start with the faculty.
We want to recognize the teachers for not only the many layers of work going into each Saturday class but for all the layers behind each class, each semester, and each year. This will also help to establish financial transparency, fair work assignment, broader opportunities, and eventually higher retention of our teachers.
I sincerely believe the higher retention of our teachers is one of the key points in building a stronger community. Higher retention of teachers is not a small feat, as experience tells us. We want to build a school where teachers can grow alongside of our students. Therefore, our teachers can teach our students “not just another language” but develop integrity, goodness, and pride in our students.
In time, we will enhance the retention with more opportunities for our teachers, such as teachers’ exchange programs, extensive summer workshops, leadership conferences, and possible expansion to weekday after-school programs. Inspiring our teachers will generate spiraling enthusiasm and joy in learning from our students.
In addition, we plan to build a school where we can systemically and sustainably support our students through stronger community involvement. We like to begin by forming a responsible, trustworthy, and active Board. Our school shall focus on our students first.
Our number one goal will be developing our students as healthy individuals and as members of society, someone who values their heritage and, at the same time, values the difference they bring to the community they share. A strong board with clear goal and conviction can guide our community and enrich the experience our students can have.
We also want to implement innovative infrastructure to help sustain our growing community. We want to be confident that our students and graduate will go forth from an institution that affirms their identity, fosters community involvement, and provides a platform to serve in their community.
We plan to incorporate more IT-friendly classes, social media, and consistent database maintenance to stay connected with every facet of our community, especially our alumni network. One of the most powerful benefits at our school will be the lifelong friendships our students will make and the collaborative community that enables and empowers our students to advance through positive network and continuous development.
Historically Korean has not been studied by many native English speakers but this is changing, largely due to South Korea's growing role in the world economy and global popular culture.
This is a beginner-level course designed for students with little or no previous Korean learning experience. This course initiates the development of the ability to speak, understand, read, and write in Korean.
Korean Class Levels There are multiple levels for beginner through advanced Korean students. We have developed our own curriculum based off of standards and best teaching practices. Korean students learn the basics of Korean such as greetings.
Korean is spoken in South and North Korea by about 70 million people. There are about 3 million Koreans in China and Japan and smaller numbers in Russian and the ex Soviet States of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan as well as in the United States.
Basic lectures on themes such as Korean language, culture, economy, politics, tourism.
