Discourse Study of Korean Oral Proficiency Interview Test

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether classroom-based interview test of Korean proficiency can reflect authentic ways people speak in non-test situations. This study analyzed interview data collected from 11 KFL (Korean as a Foreign Language) students in Korea. It was found that the interlocutor-interviewee discourse is highly asymmetrical in terms of features of turn distribution, dominance, mutual contingency and goal-orientation. The fixed role relationship (a native speaker of Korean and nonnative speakers, or teacher and student) in the one-to-one test format makes it difficult for the interviewees to escape this asymmetry. The finding from this study implicates that various interaction pattern should be used, and that interactional competence need to be considered in a speaking test of Korean.
