NCEA L1 Korean case studies
NCEA L1 Korean · Put your knowledge to work in context.
NCEA Level 1 Korean is the first-level qualification pathway in Korean within New Zealand's National Certificate of Educational Achievement, the main secondary school qualification, which is recognised by employers and used for selection by universities and other tertiary providers in New Zealand and overseas. Korean itself is described by NZQA as the study of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Korean, so a Level 1 course builds all four skills together rather than treating the language as a single exam paper. It suits students in their first year of NCEA-level language study who want a credited foundation in Korean and a base for Level 2 and Level 3. Assessment is mixed: schools use internal and external assessments to measure how well you meet standards, meaning some work is assessed in school during the year and some in end-of-year exams. The NCEA L1 Korean case studies are 5 cases and about 1,946 words.
