This research study compared two instructional approaches to teaching a Korean verb ending (i.e., -ney). These instructional approaches differ in terms of their respective emphases on target form’s semantic and pragmatic meanings. In the first approach, the form’s semantic meaning (i.e., evidentiality) was addressed. The second approach addressed a pragma-linguistic meaning of the form. In this approach, the form’s politeness function was underscored. More information.
