NCEA Level 2 Korean case studies

NCEA Level 2 Korean · Put your knowledge to work in context.

NCEA Level 2 Korean is the Level 2 achievement-standard pathway in Korean within New Zealand's National Certificate of Educational Achievement, listed by NZQA under Learning Languages. It is designed for secondary school learners who already have a foundation in Korean and want to build competence across the four language modes. NZQA describes the subject simply: "Korean is the study of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Korean." The subject page supports both internal assessment and external assessment (exams), and provides level-specific achievement standards, exemplars, past exams, assessment schedules and reports, cut scores, assessment specifications and internal exemplars, plus a national moderator's report and clarifications. For external assessment preparation, NZQA publishes vocabulary lists containing the language students are expected to know, including Korean to English, English to Korean, categories, and grammar and structures. The NCEA Level 2 Korean case studies are 5 cases and about 2,202 words.
