초록

Among the speech acts we engage in daily, refusals are one of face-threatening acts because interlocutors’ negative face can be threatened. In light of cross-cultural communication, therefore, even for the fluent EFL learners, the inappropriate use of refusals in some situations often results in interpersonal communication breakdown. Relying on the two means of data collection from 20 Korean EFL learners and 20 native English speakers, this study examines how the Korean EFL learners perform refusal speech act when they refuse invitations and how their speech act of refusals differ from those of native speakers of Standard varieties of English. Pedagogical implications were made helping the EFL learners develop pragmatic competence for successful communication.

Abstract

Among the speech acts we engage in daily, refusals are one of face-threatening acts because interlocutors’ negative face can be threatened. In light of cross-cultural communication, therefore, even for the fluent EFL learners, the inappropriate use of refusals in some situations often results in interpersonal communication breakdown. Relying on the two means of data collection from 20 Korean EFL learners and 20 native English speakers, this study examines how the Korean EFL learners perform refusal speech act when they refuse invitations and how their speech act of refusals differ from those of native speakers of Standard varieties of English. Pedagogical implications were made helping the EFL learners develop pragmatic competence for successful communication.
