초록
In the current small scale study, turn-initial discourse markers were analyzed usingquantitative and qualitative methods for frequency and functioning over four categories, as they were produced during spoken task interaction in two groups of speakers; that of Korean EFL learners at the university level and English native speakers. The results indicated that learners and native speakers showed differences not only in frequency, but also in the functioning of discourse markers. While learners valued referential markers that functioned as textual interaction toward the task at hand (so, and, but, and then), native speakers preferred interpersonal markers that highlighted social cooperation (right, ok, yea, that’s right). These differences suggest how the two groups viewed the interactional situation- that of classroom task activity or as social interaction. These differences, as well as implications for teaching discourse markers to build fluency in EFL learners, will be discussed.
Abstract
In the current small scale study, turn-initial discourse markers were analyzed usingquantitative and qualitative methods for frequency and functioning over four categories, as they were produced during spoken task interaction in two groups of speakers; that of Korean EFL learners at the university level and English native speakers. The results indicated that learners and native speakers showed differences not only in frequency, but also in the functioning of discourse markers. While learners valued referential markers that functioned as textual interaction toward the task at hand (so, and, but, and then), native speakers preferred interpersonal markers that highlighted social cooperation (right, ok, yea, that’s right). These differences suggest how the two groups viewed the interactional situation- that of classroom task activity or as social interaction. These differences, as well as implications for teaching discourse markers to build fluency in EFL learners, will be discussed.
