This study analyzed the politeness strategies used in the Requests, produced by Korean Native Speakers and Chinese Learners of Korean. For this purpose, a discourse completion task was conducted on 50 Korean Native Speakers and 50 Chinese Learners of Korean. The following three things were confirmed through the research analysis. First, Chinese Learners of Korean used more direct explicit strategies than Korean Native Speakers, and Korean Native Speakers used more passive politeness strategy than Chinese Learners of Korean. In other words, when Requested, Korean Native Speakers show higher politeness than Chinese Korean Learners. In the situation where the Request is made, it can be seen that Korean Native Speakers show higher politeness than Chinese Learners of Korean. Second, Korean Native Speakers clearly showed the tendency in terms of Distance, but Chinese Korean learners have no tendency. Depending on Power, the use of politeness strategy requested by Native Korean Speakers and Chinese Learners of Korean both tended to be similar trends. Third, in the use of politeness strategy expressions, Korean Native Speakers used a variety of expressions. In particular, the gap between the two groups is noticeable in ‘using weakened performance verbs’, ‘mentioning wishes’, and ‘questioning the possibility of listener performance’. Through this study, Korean Native Speakers and Chinese Learners of Korean showed the patterns and expressions of politeness strategies in the Requests. In addition, the difference in the politeness strategies used by the two groups could be confirmed according to social factors, and these differences reflect the difference in the perception of politeness between the two groups.
