Learning outcomes
|
This course introduces students to Korean prose and poetry from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries, including texts written entirely in hanmun (Literary Sinitic, often called "Classical Chinese") as well as works in mixed script combining hanmun and vernacular Korean. Students will learn practical strategies for approaching these textseven when they initially look impenetrable like a book with seven sealsand will become familiar with a range of helpful tools and resources. These include traditional Korean character dictionaries, online databases, digital research materials, and recent AI-based tools that can support reading and interpretation. Special attention will be given to how to use these resources efficiently, especially when working with limited vocabulary.
