Abstract

Interlanguage pragmatics research has focused on advanced learners under the rationale that even advanced learners who are grammatically competent lack of pragmatic knowledge. However, many scholars now begin to realize that research on low-level learners is underrepresented in the literature. Yet, in order to elicit speech act performances from low-level learners, employing an adequate elicitation method is crucial. The present investigation compared the effects of the written DCT, the oral DCT, and the cartoon DCT in eliciting interlanguage pragmatics data from low-level learners. In particular, the cartoon DCT, which has not been introduced in the previous studies, was newly designed and tested for its adequacy. The results from 60 low-level participants, mostly elementary school students, showed that the cartoon DCT group produced the highest number of responses and used the widest range of strategies. The traditional written DCT failed to prove its adequacy for low-level learners because the participants decided to leave 35% of their responses blank. For the oral DCT and the cartoon DCT, ‘No response’ was never found. Additionally, the cartoon DCT elicited more politeness marker, please and supportive moves. However, in terms of the directness level of requests, there were few differences between the three DCT groups. The results are expected to contribute to the addition of new methodological information to the knowledge pool in the field of interlanguage pragmatics.
