listening fluency in order to elevate their Korean language proficiency to an Advanced-Mid- orHigh-level. It should also improve their knowledge of Korean culture and society by exposing

Attendance: The university catalog states that "Regular attendance at class and laboratorysessions is expected for all courses in which a student enrolls. Unavoidable absences should be

explained to the instructor." Since this is a hybrid online course and students only meet 2~3times per week throughout the six-week summer session and absence will affect your letter grade.

Multiple tardiness and early leaves will add up to absence (usually, 3 tardiness will equal oneabsence). Tardiness or early leaves of more than 20 minutes will be counted as an absence.

Visitors to the Classroom

There might be some classroom visitors throughout the summer sessions. The purpose of the

visit may include research, professional development, and observation/evaluation. Classpresentations/discussions may be video recorded for assessment purpose with studentspermission.

In-class activity: Upon the completion of the assigned activity, students will be given a grade on

a scale from 0 to 4, 4 being the highest. Non-proactive participation in activity may result inpoint deductions. During the in-class activity time, the following rules should be observed:

No English should be spoken unless the instructor permits.

Most of the activity will be pair work. Partners for the pair work will be arranged by theinstructor.

Activities in this course are aimed forfluencydevelopment. Students should try to speak andcomprehend faster, hesitate less, and to use larger planned chunks than they do in theirnormal use of language in doing the activities.

Assigned activity grades will be determined with emphasis on successful completion.Accuracy is of secondary importance (though students should not neglect it).

All the activities will be completed under an external push from your instructor or peers to

elevate your language fluency, especially though the use of time pressure.

Students should carry a device to measure time (e.g. stopwatch).

Since the purpose is to engender an elevated ability to spontaneously comprehend and speak,detailed instructions will be provided in class so that you may not prepare for such activities

before class.

Classes will be video recorded so we may more effectively grade students.

Presentation: A designated pair will watch assigned movies that have been prepared online inadvance and then prepare a 15-minute presentation including a storyline of the movie, character

description, brief explanation of the social and historical context, and a short lecture on the topicto debate the next day. Written scripts should not be read from. Visual aids (e.g. PowerPoint)

must be used. Both presenters should devote the same amount of time and effort into thepresentation and will be separately graded.

Since the content of the presentations is important preparation for the next days debate andactivities, presenters are responsible for covering important features of the movie and properly

informing audiences.

Presenters must meet with the Online teacher (Na Young Kim) before their presentation date todo an online rehearsal session and show their finalized presentation. Attendance and tardinesspolicies apply to online sessions.

Debate: Aforementioned designated pairs for the presentation lead a 50-minute debate. Consider

that all students should speak for themselves in order to receive in-class activity points. Thedebate teams will be fixed through the entire course except in the case of emergencies. Students

must rearrange the classroom seats to debate format seating before the class. The entire process

will be video/audio recorded. Two presenters also assume two roles: '() (moderator) and

*+)(keeper). They dont participate in the debate but have to prepare multiple issues related

to the topic for an active debate.

'(): Open the debate with a brief explanation about the topic. Then lead the debate. Monitor thedebate and keep the discussion relevant to the topic. Ensure that all speakers have a fair chance to

speak. Give a brief summary after each turn if clarification is needed. Close the debate with a brief

recap of all that was discussed.

*+): Monitor and record the number of turns each student takes and let the moderator know of any

imbalances in student contribution during the debate. Assess each students performance and give

them a grade ranging from A+ to F and provide them with a count of quality turns taken and a short,

descriptive evaluation of their performance. You must then show your evaluation to the respective

student to see if your evaluation matched with their self-perceived performance. Have the student sign

and approve it. If the student disagrees with your assessment, then the instructor will review the

recording and make the final decision. Submit your evaluation to the instructor to confirm the grades

by the next in-class day. In all cases, the final grade will be decided by the instructor. The form will be

provided to you.

Online Assignments: Throughout the semester, students are required to check the daily scheduleand complete the online assignments on time. There are two types of online assignments:

watching the assigned movie and doing follow-up exercises. There will be a total of six moviesviewable online; students are responsible for watching them according to the schedule. If you are

a presenter for the upcoming movie, you should watch it far in advance of the listed assignmentdate. Online class days follow in-class days. There will be exercises ready to complete online.

For online exercises, you will be given only one chance to make a recording, so prepare beforeactually recording.
