영문 초록

The purpose of this study is to investigate the request items of alerter in Korean College Scholastic Ability Test (KCSAT). The data were selected 102 items of listening and speaking scripts from six years of KCSAT(2005-2010). Each test contains 17 items of listening and speaking activity: 12 listening items and 5 speaking items including five options of multiple choice question. The results show that in eight types of alerter strategy, a lot of strategies are heavily skewed to 'attention getter' (79.1%) as main strategy. They make use of minor alerters such as 'endearment term' (7.3%), 'title or role' (6.4%), and 'first name' (6.4%). There is no occurrence in three alerters: 'surname,' 'offensive term,' and 'pronoun.' In social variables, the strategy is highly skewed to 'speaker and listener equal situation': S=L (55.9%), SL (20%). This result suggests that test item developers should consider various types of alerter strategies for the practice of reflection on request in the secondary classroom.
