A study of request strategies in English sound items of KCSAT

This study investigates the various types of request strategies for head acts and the request variables of social status, familiarity, and perspectives by analyzing 8 years (2010-2017) of Korean College Scholastic Ability Test (KCSAT). The data for speech acts on request were selected from the scripts comprising of listening and speaking items. The sound items were 141 in total and the request situations were 260. In 9 types of head acts, the most frequent strategies were ‘mood derivable’ in the direct level, ‘suggestory formula’ and ‘query preparatory’ in the conventionally indirect level. The least used strategies were ‘performative’, ‘hedged performative’, and ‘want statement’ in the direct level. In the social status, the speaker-hearer equal status was dominant each year, and the second strategy was hearer-dominant status. In social familarity, the intimate relationship between a speaker and a hearer(+SH) was more dominant than the other strategy(-SH). In perspective, the hearer-oriented was the highest, and the followings were the speaker-hearer oriented, the speaker-oriented, and impersonal strategy. The results show that the test items for the secondary learners of English were somewhat different from other analysis of textbooks or DCT items.
