Study of Chinese Learners Pedagogical Choices in Korean CLKs awareness and capacity to make use of relational affordances as well as learnerinternal elements were important Researchers from TS and ZL for instance were able to cite their relationships with their local professors as a key factor in their decision to stay clear of criticism of a strict professor see the example 2 This article reviews all local practical research on Korean up to 2020 It focuses on the practical fundamental topics like Discourse Construction Tests The test for discourse completion is a commonly used tool in the field of pragmatic research It has numerous advantages but it also has a few drawbacks The DCT for instance is unable to account for cultural and individual differences Furthermore it is also the case that the DCT is prone to bias and can result in overgeneralizations It is important to carefully analyze the data before it is used in research or evaluation Despite its limitations the DCT is a useful tool to study the relationship between prosody and information structure in nonnative speakers Its ability in two or more stages to alter social variables that affect politeness can be a strength This characteristic can be utilized to study the impact of prosody across cultural contexts In the field of linguistics the DCT has become one of the most significant tools to analyze learners behaviors in communication It can be used to study a variety of issues including the manner of speaking turn taking and lexical selection It can be used to evaluate the level of phonological sophistication in learners in their speech Recent research has used the DCT as an instrument to test the skills of refusal among EFL students Participants were given a set of scenarios to choose from and were then asked to select the most appropriate response The authors found that the DCT was more effective than other refusal measures including a questionnaire and video recordings However they cautioned that the DCT should be used with caution and should include other methods for collecting data DCTs can be designed with specific requirements for linguistics such as the form and content These criteria are intuitive and based on the assumptions of the test developers They arent always precise and they could misrepresent the way that ELF learners actually resist requests in realworld interaction This issue requires more investigation into alternative methods of measuring refusal competence A recent study compared DCT responses to requests made by students via email versus those gathered from an oral DCT The results showed that DCTs favored more direct and conventionally indirect request forms and used hints less than email data Metapragmatic Questionnaires MQs This study explored Chinese learners decisions regarding their use of Korean using a variety of experimental tools such as Discourse Completion Tasks DCTs Metapragmatic Questionnaires Refusal Interviews RIs Participants were 46 CLKs of upper intermediate level who answered MQs DCTs and RIs They were also asked to consider their evaluations and refusal performances in RIs The results indicated that the CLKs frequently chose to resist native Korean pragmatic norms and their choices were influenced by four major factors that included their identities their multilingual identities their ongoing life histories and relational advantages These findings have pedagogical implications for L2 Korean assessment The MQ data were analysed to identify the participants choices in terms of their pragmatics The data was classified according to Ishihara 2010s definition of pragmatic resistance Then the choices were matched with their linguistic performance in DCTs to determine if they showed a pattern of resistance to pragmatics or not Interviewees also had to explain why they chose an atypical behavior in certain situations The results of the MQs and DCTs were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Ztests It was found that CLKs frequently used the use of euphemistic phrases such as sorry and thank you This is likely due to their lack of familiarity with the target language which led to a lack of understanding of korea pragmatic norms The results revealed that CLKs preferences to diverge from L1 and L2 norms or to move toward L1 differed based on the DCT circumstances In the scenarios 3 and 12 CLKs preferred diverging from both L1pragmatic norms and L2 norms while in Situation 14 CLKs favored convergence to L1 norms The RIs showed that CLKs were aware of their logical resistance to every DCT situation The RIs were conducted on a onetoone basis within two days of participants completing the MQs The RIs were recorded and transcribed by two coders who were independent who then coded them The coding was an iterative process in which the coders read and discussed each transcript The results of coding are evaluated against the original RI transcripts to determine how well they reflected the actual behavior Refusal Interviews RIs One of the most important questions in pragmatic research is the reason why learners choose to resist nativespeaker pragmatic norms Recent research sought to answer this question using various experimental tools including DCTs MQs and RIs Participants comprised 46 CLKs and 44 CNSs from five Korean Universities Participants were required to complete the DCTs and MQs either in their L1 or their L2 They were then invited to an RI where they were asked to think about and discuss their responses to each DCT situation The results showed that on average the CLKs disapproved of nativespeaker pragmatic norms in more than 40 of their answers They did this even though they could create patterns that resembled native ones In 라이브 카지노 they were conscious of their own pragmatism They attributed their decisions to learnerinternal aspects such as their personalities and identities that are multilingual as well as ongoing life histories They also referred to external factors such as relational benefits For example they described how their relationships with professors led to an easier performance in regards to the intercultural and linguistic norms of their university However the interviewees also expressed concern about the social pressures and punishments they could be subjected to if they strayed from their local social norms They were worried that their native interactants might consider them foreigners and think they are unintelligent This was a concern similar to those voiced by Brown 2013 and Ishihara 2009 These results suggest that native speakers pragmatic norms arent the preferred norm for Korean learners They may still be useful for official Korean proficiency testing But it is advisable for future researchers to revisit their applicability in specific situations and in various cultural contexts This will help them better understand the effects of different cultures on the pragmatic behavior and classroom interactions of L2 students This will also assist educators to improve their methods of teaching and testing Korean pragmatics Seukhoon Paul Choi principal advisor at

particular subject It is a method that makes use of multiple data sources to back up the findings such as interviews or observations documents and artifacts This kind of research is useful when analyzing unique or complex subjects which are difficult to assess with other methods In a case study the first step is to define both the subject and the purpose of the study This will allow you to identify what aspects of the subject are important to investigate and which ones can be skipped It is also beneficial to study the literature that is relevant to the subject to gain a broad understanding of the topic and place the case study within a wider theoretical framework This case study was based upon an opensource platform the KMMLU Leaderboard 50 as well as its benchmarks for Koreans HyperCLOVA X and LDCC Solar figure 1 below The results of this study revealed that L2 Korean learners were extremely dependent on the influence of native models They were more likely to select incorrect answer options that were literal interpretations of prompts thereby ignoring precise pragmatic inference They also had an unnatural tendency to add their own text or garbage to their responses further reducing their response quality Moreover the participants of this study were L2 Korean learners who had attained level 4 in the Test of Proficiency in Korean TOPIK at their second or third year at university and were aiming to reach level 6 on their next attempt They were asked questions about their WTCSPCC pragmatic awareness and understanding knowledge of the world The interviewees were presented with two scenarios each involving an imagined interaction with their coworkers and were asked to choose one of the following strategies to use when making a request Interviewees were then asked to justify their decision The majority of the participants attributed their lack of a pragmatic response to their personality For instance TS claimed that she was difficult to talk to and therefore was reluctant to inquire about the health of her interlocutors despite having a heavy workload despite the fact that she believed that native Koreans would do so
