This study aims to suggest an effective teaching method for the request speech act for non-native learners of Korean. The current research work concerns the necessity of teaching Korean discourse markers to Korean language learners. Special attention is placed on the functions and usages of such discourse markers as {mwo}, {wae} and {eodi}. Plans for teaching and learning of these discourse markers are proposed.
Since discourse markers express speakers' psychological attitudes and the intention of utterance, they play a role in leading smooth conversations as discourse tactics, reducing discord in conversation and letting listeners who are conversation participants know speakers' intention. Considering the fact that the ultimate purpose of Korean education is to foster communication competence evenly possessing not only learners' grammatical competence but also sociolinguistic competence, discourse competence, and strategic competence, the accurate understanding and usage of discourse markers, which is an indispensable element in the aspect of using language in actuality, is very important in the area of the education of a second language. However, there has been a limited number of work done on the discourse markers which are used frequently in a vis-a-vis Korean language communication.
therefore, the current study reviews the functions of discourse markers displaying colloquial characteristics in a spoken discourse. Then, these functions are further related to the speech act to assist the foreigners toward the proper understanding and usage of the discourse markers.
It is expected that the information about the expression of discourse markers in spoken discourse for Korean learners shall become the foundation for the specific and systematic education of discourse markers, which can be utilized in an actual field of Korean education, and that research on this area will be done more vigorously in future.
