+Study of Chinese Learners' Pedagogical Choices in Korean
+
+CLKs' awareness and capacity to tap into the benefits of relationships and learner-internal elements, were important. For instance the RIs from TS and ZL both have cited their relationships with their local professors as an important factor in their pragmatic choice to not criticize a strict professor (see the example 2).
+
+This article examines all local pragmatic research on Korean published up to 2020. It focuses on core practical issues, including:
+
+Discourse Construction Tests (DCTs)
+
+The Discourse Completion Test (DCT) is an instrument that is widely used in the field of pragmatic research. It has many strengths, but it also has some disadvantages. For example it is that the DCT is unable to account for the cultural and individual variations in communication. Furthermore, the DCT can be biased and can cause overgeneralizations. As a result, it is important to analyze it carefully before using it for research or assessment purposes.
+
+Despite its limitations, the DCT can be a valuable tool for investigating the relationship between prosody and information structure in non-native speakers. Its ability in two or more stages to manipulate social variables that affect politeness could be a benefit. This can assist researchers to study the role played by prosody in communicating across cultural contexts, which is a major issue in cross-cultural pragmatics.
+
+In the field linguistics, DCT is among the most useful tools for analyzing communication behaviors of learners. It can be used to study numerous issues, like politeness, turn-taking, and the choices made in lexical use. It can be used to evaluate the level of phonological sophistication in learners' speech.
+
+Recent research utilized an DCT as an instrument to test the ability to resist of EFL students. Participants were given a set of scenarios to choose from, and were then asked to select the appropriate response. The authors found the DCT to be more efficient than other methods of refusal, such as a questionnaire or video recordings. However, the researchers cautioned that the DCT should be used with caution and should include other data collection methods.
+
+DCTs can be designed with specific language requirements, like form and content. These criteria are intuitive and are based on the assumptions of the test developers. They aren't always accurate, and they may be misleading about the way ELF learners actually refuse requests in real-world interactions. This issue calls for more investigation into alternative methods of testing refusal competence.
+
+In a recent research study, DCT responses to student inquiries via email were compared with those from an oral DCT. The results revealed that DCT was more direct and traditionally indirect request forms, and a lesser use of hints than email data did.
+
+Metapragmatic Questionnaires (MQs)
+
+This study investigated Chinese learners their pragmatic choices when they use Korean. It employed various tools for experimentation including Discourse Completion Tasks, metapragmatic questions and Refusal Interviews. Participants were 46 CLKs with upper-intermediate proficiency who gave responses to MQs and DCTs. They were also asked for reflections on their assessments and refusals in RIs. The results showed that CLKs are more likely to defy native Korean pragmatic norms. Their decisions were influenced by four factors such as their personality and multilingual identities, their current life histories, as well as their relationship affordances. These findings have implications for pedagogy for L2 Korean assessment and teaching.
+
+The MQ data was analyzed in order to determine the participants' choices in practice. The data were classified according to Ishihara's (2010) definition of pragmatic resistance. Then, we compared their selections with their linguistic performance on the DCTs to determine if they were indicative of pragmatic resistance. Interviewees also had to explain the reasons for choosing an atypical behavior in certain situations.
+
+The results of the MQs and DCTs were then analysed using descriptive statistics and Z-tests. The CLKs were found to employ euphemistic phrases such as "sorry" or "thank you". This could be due to their lack of familiarity with the target languages, which led to a lack of understanding of korean pragmatic norms. The results revealed that CLKs' preference to differ from L1 and L2 norms or to move toward L1 differed based on the DCT circumstances. In Situations 3 and 12 CLKs preferred diverging from both L1pragmatic norms - and L2-pragmatic norms while in Situation 14 CLKs favored convergence to L1 norms.
+
+The RIs revealed that CLKs knew about their pragmatic resistance to each DCT situation. The RIs were conducted in a one-to-one manner within two days after the participants had completed the MQs. The RIs were recorded and  프라그마틱 정품 사이트 [[pragmatickr.com](https://pragmatickr.com/)] transcribing, and then coded by two coders who were independent. The coders worked in an iterative manner and involved the coders reading and discussing each transcript. The results of the coding process are contrasted with the original RI transcripts to determine if they reflected the actual behavior.
+
+Interviews with Refusal
+
+One of the major questions in pragmatic research is the reason why learners are hesitant to adhere to the pragmatic norms of native speakers. Recent research sought to answer this question using a variety of experiments, including DCTs MQs and RIs. The participants comprised 46 CLKs, 44 CNSs and 45 KNSs from five Korean universities. They were asked to perform the DCTs in their native language and complete the MQs in either their L1 or their L2. Then, they were invited to attend a RI where they were asked consider their responses to the DCT situations.
+
+The results showed that on average, the CLKs rejected native-speaker pragmatic norms in over 40% of their answers. They did this even when they could produce patterns that resembled native speakers. They were also conscious of their own pragmatism. They attributed their decisions to learner-internal factors like their personalities and identities that are multilingual, as well as ongoing life histories. They also mentioned external factors, such as relational benefits. For instance, they outlined how their relationships with professors facilitated a more relaxed performance in regards to the linguistic and intercultural rules of their university.
+
+However, the interviewees expressed concerns about the social pressures and penalties that they could face if they flouted the local social norms. They were worried that their native interactants might think they are "foreigners" and believe that they are not intelligent. This was a concern similar to the concerns voiced by Brown (2013) and Ishihara (2009).
+
+These findings suggest that native-speakers pragmatic norms aren't the default preference for Korean learners. They may still be useful for official Korean proficiency tests. Future researchers should reassess the usefulness of these tests in different cultural contexts and specific situations. This will help them better comprehend how different environments could affect the practical behavior of L2 students in the classroom and beyond. This will also help educators develop better methods for teaching and testing Korean pragmatics.

+Case Studies
+
+The case study method is an investigational strategy that employs participant-centered, in-depth investigations to explore a specific subject. This method utilizes various sources of data, such as documents, interviews, and observations to support its findings. This type of investigation is useful for examining complicated or unique subjects that are difficult to quantify using other methods.
+
+In a case study the first step is to define the subject as well as the objectives of the study. This will help you determine what aspects of the subject must be investigated and which can be omitted. It is also beneficial to read the literature on to the subject to gain a greater understanding of the subject and place the case study within a wider theoretical framework.
+
+This case study was based upon an open-source platform called the KMMLU Leaderboard [50], and its Korean-specific benchmarks HyperCLOVA X and LDCC Solar (figure 1 below). The results of the experiment revealed that the L2 Korean students were particularly susceptible to native models. They were more likely to pick incorrect answer choices that were literal interpretations. This was a deviation from accurate pragmatic inference. They also had an inclination to add their own text or "garbage," to their responses, further detracting from their response quality.
+
+Furthermore, the participants of this case study were primarily L2 Korean learners who had achieved level 4 in the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) in their third or second year of university, and were aiming to reach level 6 in their next attempt. They were asked to answer questions regarding their WTC/SPCC and understanding and pragmatic awareness.
+
+Interviewees were presented with two hypothetical situations involving an interaction with their counterparts and were asked to choose one of the strategies below to use when making demands. They were then asked to provide the reasons behind their decision. Most of the participants attributed their pragmatic resistance to their personalities. For example, TS claimed that she was difficult to connect to, and so she did not want to inquire about the well-being of her friend with a heavy workload despite her belief that native Koreans would do so.
