~게 & ~히

2012-01-23T17:38:00.000+08:00

~게 (Adverbial form)

Korean verbs can takethe adverbative ending ~게 and functionadverbially. However, note that when averb a verb takes the ending in ~게, it is still not completelya drived adverb. Rather, it function as an adverb while retaining most of itsverbal qualities. Thus, these forms aresimply cases of the ending ~게, attaching to the stems ofbasic verb froms in the lexicon. Thisending is highly productive and is compatible with nearly all descriptiveverbs.

e.g.

크다-크게 나쁘다-나쁘게

따뜻하다-따뜻하게 놀랍다-놀랍게

예쁘다-예쁘게 사랑스럽다-사랑스럽게

찰스씨가 교실에서 크게 웃었어요.

나쁘게 생각하지 마세요.

감기에 걸려서 몸을 따뜻하게 해야해요.

찰스씨는 한국사람이 아니지만 놀랍게 한국말을 잘 해요.

예쁘게 앉으세요.

나오미하고 에리키가 사랑스럽게 놀아요.

~히(adverbial suffix)

This adverbial suffixattaches to descriptive Sino-Korean roots which can take~하다. The 하다 is replaced by ~히 to derive the adverb. This particular suffix is highlyproductive.

안녕히(peacefully-안녕하다), 충분히(sufficiently-충분하다), 상당히(considerably-상당하다), 급히(urgently-급하다)

안녕히 가세요.

충분히 이해해요.

상당히 비싸네요.

선생님이 급히 집에 가야 해요.

Similarly ~히 can attach to pure Korean descriptive roots which combinewith ~하다 to form derived adverbs.

부지런하다(diligent) 부지런히 어디에 가세요?

천천하다(slow) 천천히 말씀해 주세요.

가득하다(full) 포도를 상자에 가득히 담아 주세요.

꼼꼼하다(meticulous) 꼼꼼히 읽고 대답해 주세요.

공손하다(respectful) 공손히 인사하세요.

조용하다 조용히 걸으세요.

except: 우아하다-우아하게 깨끗하다-깨끗이

~로 (실제로, 때때로, 억지로, 참으로, 날로)

~리(빨리, 멀리, 게을리, 널리, 배불리..)

~이 (번번이, 깨끗이, 느긋이, 어렴풋이, 반가이,없이, 깊이, 도욱이, 일찍이

고이, 쉬이, 탐스러이, 새로이, 가까이, 외로이, 자유로이,같이, 깊이, 높이, 길이, 많이, 헛되이, 바삐, 슬피, 번번이, 쌍쌍이,

나날이, 곳곳이, 푼푼이, 낱낱이…

Korean Language at KLWA 2010 till early 2011.

3. Conclusion

1. Overview of KSWA:

The number of Korean immigrants in WA has increased steadily since the early 1990s. The Hangeul School is available on Saturdays to teach their children Korean but many of these Korean immigrants do not seem too keen to take advantage of this facility to give their children a proficiency in the Korean language in Perth compare to Eastern states or South East Asia.

On the positive side, the Australian government has been giving some supportive of this school. There is currently a lack of teachers and undercharging students does not help the community to recruit good teachers. The school's first priority is teach Korean for second generation and the curriculum is for the young children in Perth.

1.1. Six Classes at KSWA

There are currently six classes operating at KSWA.

3 Korean Alphabet Classes are available for the 5 to 7 year olds. They are mainly 2^nd or 3^rd generation Koreans. Given the cosmopolitan nature of Australia, many of them have only 1 parent who may be Korean. Classes are made up of both Korean and non-Korean children. Ideally these 2 groups should be streamed into separate classes.

The Korean Introductory class where Korean 1 textbook is used teaches the students grammar, sentence structure, speaking and writing. The major problem in this class is the disparate learning levels of the individual students.

Korean Class 3 uses textbook Korean 2 and 3 in 2011 and there are two teachers to help with the two to three different groups of students in the class. Korean Class 4 uses textbook Korean 4, 5 and 6 as well as extracurricular.

Before 2011, Korean alphabet classes did not follow a fixed curriculum. In January 2011 it was decided at a teachers’ meeting to standardise the curriculum from February 2011 onwards and guidelines were introduced.

Class Name	Age group	Textbook
Korean Alphabet (Sun)	5~7 or more	Words from Introductory
Korean Alphabet (Moon)	5~7 or more	Words from Introductory
Introductory to Korean 1	6~8 or more	Words from Introductory
Introductory to Korean 2	9 ~ more	Korean 1
Korean 3	9 ~ more including 3 locals	Korean 2 & 3
Korean 4	10~16 years old	Korean 4,5 & 6

1.2. Cultural Lessons

Culture is an integral part of any language development and learning. Thease cultural classes cover topics like the meaning of the Korean flags, festivals, seasons and traditional food. Concerts also provide an avenue for students to apply them knowledge of the language and use it appropriately in the right social contexts.

1.3. Teaching Manpower

There are six main teachers and a few assistant teachers. Most of the teachers are volunteers. Honorarium levels are generally poor. This affects the recruitment of qualified teachers who will be able or willing to prepare quality teaching materials for the classes they hold.

1.4. Textbook

Textbooks are given by KICE[i] [1](Korean Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation) Textbooks come with teaching guidelines. The teachers have agreed to follow the textbook from February 2011 onwards.

1.5. Assessments

There are two tests in semester 1 and 2. Progress reports are given to parents twice yearly commencing in 2011.

1.6. School Time Allocations

KSWA opens at 9:30 A.M. and have a break between 11 A.M. till 11: 30 A.M. then it finishes at 12:30 P.M.

2. Case Study- Class 4: Evaluation from Jun. 2010 till Feb. 2011.

Class 4 was allocated to me (Ms. BAE) in June 2010. From the outset I experienced difficulty with the students’ fluency and accuracy with Korean. There were many gaps in their understanding and usage of grammar sentence structure, spacing and punctuation. This is exacerbated by their poor motivation and interest in the language.

They were mature enough to understand flow and writing but vocabulary was poor. Despite the good teaching of the previous teacher, Mrs. Lee, the students were still struggling to answer questions in the pre test for TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean).

I therefore devised a different teaching plan and implemented it in the 4^th term. Lessons from textbooks were done first for two and half hours followed by an extra curriculum on basic rules of writing.

More than half of class showed the improvement and two students worked particularly hard and passed intermediate level of TOPIK. It was rewarding to see that a few of them could now listen and understand Korean better especially when enjoying Korean TV dramas compared to last year.

Textbooks are the minimum tools for these 2^nd generation Korean migrants to equip themselves with adequate Korean. There are 3 types of vocabularies from Korean; Pure Korean, Western Korean and Chinese Korean. Even though Koreans can make sentences with pure Korean vocabularies, a higher level of Korean requires using Chinese Korean vocabularies (Hanja[2]) such as in academic institutions, business and news. In the current system, it is barely possible to prepare students adequately for the basic proficiency test (TOPIK) which is offered to the students (2^nd generation Koreans) and locals (foreigners) every 2^nd week in September in Perth.

On the first day of school in 2011, assessment tests were conducted in all the classes. My group of students did not understand irregular verbs, counting nouns, onomatopoeic words and honorific although they should.

Although students know that speaking a second language is an advantage; they may not be highly motivated as the parents may be not involving in homework or encouraging the use of Korean at home. As students get older, standards and requirements also rise. At this point many students with a low interest level will stagnate. I was encouraged by my one hard working student who passed the proficiency test at intermediate level last year and meeting new students who take their lessons seriously. My extra preparation of were useful and rewarding particularly for those who took the lessons willingly and showed respect for the teacher.

3.0 Conclusion

In conclusion, the support we get from the Australian and Korean governments are a great start for the Korean language course after all not many governments have a budget for such activities.

It would be appreciated if the government could do even more by promoting use of the language as well as provide the funds. Meanwhile, are Koreans putting enough effort to teach their children just leaving the dilemma to someone else at the school? What about the students? Do they respect their teachers and complete their homework? Are they taking it lightly because language is not part of the university main entrance test as Japanese, Chinese and other European languages? Do we have experienced teachers?

There is a great deal of hope for Korean language education in Perth. In fact if more of next generation speak 2^nd or 3^rd languages, it is a great asset to the country for the next 100 years because education is an investment in the people that will benefit the country and this requires planning for the next decade. Language is a tool and a bridge to another culture.
