This study examines the realization strategies of downgraders of English requests for thirty subjects in a way to identify the interlanguage characteristics of Korean learners of English. Using the DCT (Discourse Completion Test), the responses of the thirty advanced Korean learners of English to the test were obtained. Their responses to the DCT in which twelve situations of requests were given were analyzed, following House and Kasper's (1981) coding scheme of downgraders. Additionally, a paired-samples t-test and a one-way ANOVA were used to investigate situational factors affecting the use of downgraders. The results of the study show that the Korean ESL learners' grammatical competence in English has an effect on their realization strategies of syntactic downgraders, rather than lexical or phrasal downgraders in requests. In addition, there is no difference in the learners' realization strategies of downgraders between interlocutors' relative distance. Finally, some theoretical and pedagogical implications of the study findings are discussed.
Abstract
This study examines the realization strategies of downgraders of English requests for thirty subjects in a way to identify the interlanguage characteristics of Korean learners of English.

Additionally, a paired-samples t-test and a one-way ANOVA were used to investigate situational factors affecting the use of downgraders. The results of the study show that the Korean ESL learners' grammatical competence in English has an effect on their realization strategies of syntactic downgraders, rather than lexical or phrasal downgraders in requests. In addition, there is no difference in the learners' realization strategies of downgraders between interlocutors' relative distance. Finally, some theoretical and pedagogical implications of the study findings are discussed.
