Course description
In this course the students' formal knowledge of Korean grammar is further developed so that they can appropriately and efficiently assimilate the elements and structures essential for business usages of the language. Vocabularies, expressions and terminologies based on business and Korean real life situations will be further developed. Hanja (Chinese characters) which are commonly used in Korean society will be introduced. This course also aims to prepare students who have Korean language skills for effective communication in business by: 1. introducing students to the concepts and processes of business communication within Korean and/or English-language business contexts 2. providing students with socio-linguistic knowledge to deal with Korean and/or English-language business texts and documents in terms of business practice and formality 3. developing students' interpersonal, oral and written communication skills in Korean and/or English-language at individual, group and organisation levels 4. developing students' understanding of the socio-cultural implications of Korean and/or English language for the business communication process, in multicultural contexts and in the international business world This course may be cancelled if fewer than 20 students enrol.
