AB - In this paper, we aimed to examine the impression of Korean learners of Japanese (“learners” hereafter) regarding the Japanese concept of "sasshi(察し)" in refusal situations. We analyzed essays written in Japanese by the learners to uncover the reasons behind their impressions. Results revealed that many Korean learners perceived "sasshi(察し)" from the listener's perspective and had negative impressions.
Learners who expressed a negative view towards the Japanese concept of "sasshi(察し)" cited “the lack of providing reasons for refusal” or “not speaking reasons directly” as their reasons. It is possible that they judged "sasshi(察し)" in Japanese based on their native language, Korean, and Korean culture, and had a negative interpretation of it. This highlights the importance of the thorough consideration of teaching materials, and of sufficient preparatory activities to foster understanding of Japanese language and culture, especially in situations where there are differences in language behavior and expressions between Japanese and Korean, such as in refusals. Therefore, in writing activities during class, teachers are expected to carefully select and evaluate instructional methods, including the choice of language, based on the intended goals. Additionally, since learners wrote their essays in their target language of Japanese instead of their native language of Korean, they might have avoided detailed descriptions due to their insufficient Japanese language proficiency or word count restrictions even though they could possibly have complex thoughts.
Thus, conducting a detailed investigation on impressions would require follow-up interviews in their native language, Korean.
