Educational Goals: The Korean Studies curriculum has entered into a Double Title agreement with the Korean University Hanyang. Students wishing to take advantage of this opportunity and obtain a double degree in Italy and Korea, are required to attend the second year in Korea. Therefore, the master's degree aims to achieve the student's ability to communicate fluently in Korean language with Korean native speakers (appropriation of academic lexicon), to develop lecture comprehension and academic texts in Korean language. Specific Goals: The Korean Language and Literature two-years course target is to enhance the language skills acquired during the three-years Korean Studies curriculum for the achievement of BA degree. More specifically, it aims to allow the student to accomplish the B2 level of the common European reference framework and to take the TOPIK II Proficiency Test exam to obtain the level 4. Thanks to this intense language training, after MA graduation, the student should have acquired basic tools and skills, suitable for translating and interpreting and for thinking critically in Korean language.
