Ahn, Gil-Soon & Choi, Seong-Hoon. 2010. The Differences between Native and Korean speakers in Advice-Giving Situations. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal. 18(4). 71-90. Understanding the dominant culture of a language may enable us to gain a better understanding of the people who speak the language and their ability of perception. The main goal of this study was to investigate the different ways that native and non-native English speakers respond in advice-giving situations. The instrument consisted of 11 sets, containing 5 examples which were responding to the each question. The participants (60 participants were native speakers of English, and 60 were native speakers of Korean) were asked to fill out a background questionnaire, which was composed of questions regarding personal information and choose the right answer. The data analysis indicates that (a) the factors of language and cultural background heavily influence the difference in responses between English speakers and Korean speakers; (b) gender is also significant factor in influencing the two group approaches to the advice-giving. Pedagogical implications and suggestions for further study are also discussed.
