A Sociolinguistic Study on Constructing of Conversations in Korean Language Textbooks: Focused on the Organization of Telephone Conversations

This study analyzes telephone conversations that appear in 10 Korean language textbooks. Telephone conversations are a routine and indispensable part of daily communication among people. The telephone conversations in the 10 Korean language textbooks can be classified into topics, scenes, places, times, levels, numbers of agents, the relationships between callers and receivers, genders, and, turn-takings. In order to compare and analyze the content and organization of the various telephone conversations that appear in the textbooks and in real life, a survey of the Korean native speakers and the foreign students who are learning Korean as a foreign language are conducted. The survey consists of three parts. First, it collects personal information of Korean native speakers and foreign students. Second, it investigates questions related to the respondents' usage of telephone. Finally, it examines topics in telephone conversations and the usage of expressions in the beginning and the ending stages of telephone conversations using the DCT (Discourse Completion Test). The results of the survey are carefully discussed, compared, and analyzed with reference to the telephone conversations in the Korean language textbooks. This study will contribute to the further improvement of the organizational structure as well as the colloquial content of the telephone conversations in Korean language textbooks.
