ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the aspects of communication strategies(CSs) in Korean language text books and the listening part of the TOPIK based on the fact that CSs are available to be learned. First, this study defines CS classified the types of CSs. Next, CSs shown in the dialogue sentences were analyzed based on the taxonomy of achievement strategies (ASs) by Nakatani (2005). As a result, maintenance strategies were found in the highest rate, taking up 83 percent of four selected Korean text books but only 65 percent of the TOPIK. Time-gaining strategies and modified interaction strategies followed them. CSs took a very small portion in beginning level but increased after it. Since learners are expected to improve their communicative competence by imitating the dialogue in the text books, especially for beginners relying on it more, this study insists that CSs should be shown in the text books and evaluated adequately through the officially certified test.
