Published 30 July 2008
Examination Specifications
  • The phrasing of all questions on the examination paper in both English and Korean ensures consistency across all questions and examination papers.
  • The inclusion of the reference to one of the related contemporary issues in addition to the reference to a theme allows more opportunity for students to engage with Korean in the classroom and also allows more flexibility in the setting of questions.
