L2 learner awareness of Negative Polar Questions and potential/limitation of instruction

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines English and Korean NPQs in L2 learning, focusing on the challenges faced by Korean learners in understanding English NPQs, particularly those with low negation. Conventional teaching methods emphasizing a dichotomy between answering patterns hinder natural acquisition. The study recommends balanced examples of NPQ types in textbooks, breaking the notion that NPQs mirror PPQs and emphasizing contextual biases. Understanding cross-linguistic similarities and differences in NPQs is crucial for mastering their complexities. Recognizing the cultural contexts in which these questions are used is important in grasping their nuanced interpretations. This comprehensive approach aims to aid L2 learners in interpreting NPQs effectively in classrooms.
