HSC Korean Continuers case studies

HSC Korean Continuers is a New South Wales senior secondary course and external examination for students who have already studied Korean for some years but who are not background speakers of the language. It sits between the beginners-level Korean Beginners course and the advanced Korean in Context course, so it suits learners who can handle everyday topics, read short authentic texts and produce connected writing, but who still need scaffolding for complex or abstract material. The course is typically taken in Year 11 and Year 12 and contributes to the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, and it also serves as evidence of Korean proficiency for university language pathways and for employers who value a second language. The examination is organised around three skill areas: listening and responding, reading and responding, and writing in Korean. The HSC Korean Continuers case studies are 5 cases and about 2,799 words.
