한국어 말하기 평가 맥락에서 사회언어적 능력 측정 방안 연구

Abstract

This study takes position that speaking test should take account of context and concrete interlocutors of speaking task because people normally speak not in a vacuum but with real interlocutors and concrete purpose. Therefore the results of speaking test could predict test takers deal with real situation with sociolinguistic skills. The purpose of this study is to find the construct of sociolinguistic competence analyzing discourse made by different level of proficiency in Korean. The speech act in this study is ‘apologize’ and ‘request’ which is relatively uncomfortable than other speech acts. As a result beginners could not use proper title of interlocutors and preliminaries to mitigate the burden of making a request and apologize. However advanced learners of Korean call interlocutors with proper name and they can put preliminaries before they say what they want. This study prove that those two items could have possibility to be the constructs of speaking tests. There should be more study to back up this results to be solid construct of speaking tests in the future. (Honam University)
