Korean
The course offers three years of systematic language training
to enable students to communicate effectively in modern
spoken Korean, and to read fluently a wide range of
modern written material in Korean.
Supporting subjects provide the opportunity to supplement
language studies with courses on culture, society, economy
and politics.
The subjects AK103, AK104, AK205, AK206, AK303,
AK304, and AK305 form a degree major in Korean.
Students intending to complete a major should enrol in the
first instance in AK103 and AK104.
Students undertaking a major in Korean are also strongly
advised to enrol for subject AK102 Traditional Korea, which
is offered in the second semester. This subject is also open
to students not undertaking the full Korean language
sequence.
Since language studies at Swinburne are designed for
beginners, students with native proficiency in a language
taught at Swinburne will not normally be eligible to enrol in
that language.
All incoming students in Korean will be assessed in terms of
their expertise in the language. Those students who display
a high level of competence in this regard may be required to
study an alternative syllabus to that shown in this
Handbook.
If a student requests exemption from any part of a Korean
subject no credit will be granted unless the student has
previously completed studies which are part of a degree
program studied at a recognised institution.

Vietnamese
In 1994 the Faculty of Arts will offer stage one and stage
two subjects of a major sequence in Vietnamese.
The course is designed to acquaint students with
Vietnamese, an important community and trade language.
The broad aim of the course is to provide students with
communicative competence in the language together with
knowledge and understanding of Vietnam.
The beginners stream consists of AV103. AV104 at stage
one, AV203, AV204 at stage two, then AV303, AV304 and
AV306 at stage three. Normally AV303 and AV304 are taken
prior to or concurrently with AV306.
Subjects related to Vietnamese studies may also be offered,
and students are advised to check with the faculty for
information.
It should be noted that the Vietnamese major is sequential
in nature. Students must complete both subjects in stage
one before enrolling in stage two subjects, and these, in
turn, must be completed before enrolling in stage three
subjects.

Italian Language and Culture
This course is designed to acquaint students with Italian, an
important commercial, community and cultural language.
The broad aim is to enable students to communicate with
Italians, on both linguistic and socio-cultural levels. The major
study in ltalian therefore strongly emphasises language
acquisition, and progressively treats those aspects of ltalian
language, literature, history, geography, economics, sociology,
politics and culture appropriate to an understanding of the
modern nation and its inhabitants. A degree major in ltalian
may be obtained by undertaking studies in one or two
streams offered; a beginner's stream and a post-VCE stream
A beginners' stream consists of AA109 and AA110 at stage
one, followed by AA209 and AA210 of stage twv, then
AA309 and AA310 at stage three. Normally AA309 and
AA310 ap completed prior to, or concurrently with AA313.
The post-VCE stream requires a pass and above at VCE level
or equivalent and consists of AA106 and AAl07 at stage
one, followed by AA206 and AA207 at stage two, then
AA306 and AA307 at stage three. Normally AA306 and
AA307 are completed prior to, or concurrently with AA313.
Students undertaking a major in ltalian are also strongly
advised to enrol for AA102 Understanding Italy and AA205
The European Community.
The following subjects related to ltalian studies are also
offered:
AA208 Twentieth Century European Literature and
Thought
AA308 Italian Business Practice
AA312 European Community 2
It should be noted that the Italian major is sequential in
nature. Therefore students must complete both subjects in
stage one ltalian before enrolling in the stage two subjects
and these, in turn, must be completed before enrolling in
the stage three subjects.
