AB - In this study, the discourse development pattern was examined using data that included requisition, request, favor, and negotiation, as observed in the role-play section of the OPI test administered to Korean-Japanese intermediate learners. The focus of the analysis is on the flow of strategy use, as demonstrated in discourse development and the sociolinguistic abilities of Japanese intermediate learners, which can be observed through this. As a result of the analysis, the following were found. 1. In the context of 'requisition,' it is noted that the approach often exhibits a somewhat self-centered nature, beginning with an apology that demonstrates consideration for the other party, or persisting in explaining the situation even after receiving a slight rejection. This occurs despite the claim being made for rights that may not be guaranteed. Furthermore, subjective strategies, including explaining the situation, expressing opinions, and suggesting solutions, were employed. 2. With regard to 'request,' relatively neutral strategies, such as the clarification of the situation and confirmation of the situation, were utilized repeatedly. The premise of 'guaranteed rights' played a significant role, presuming that the other party would acquiesce even if the speaker did not assert his or her opinion strongly. 3. In the case of 'favor,' it became evident that there was a lack of consideration for the other party, as indicated by the method of presenting conclusions upfront before inquiring about their intentions. This raises the possibility that the perception of 'Korean' requests as abrupt and coercive emanates from the reciprocal social culture in Korea, which views enduring inconvenience as a facet of friendship. 4. In the realm of 'negotiation,' it was confirmed that the Koreans' tendency for 'active self-expression' and 'clear communication' can lead to frictions in interactions with Japanese counterparts. Additionally, it is observed that this tendency may result in individualistic behavior, stemming from a desire for Koreans' feelings to be acknowledged and respected.
