Song, Si-chun. “NES and NNES Students’ Apology Strategies in E-mail.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 41.1 (2015): 257-282. This study investigated apologetic e-mails written by 56 native English speaking (NES) and 54 non-native English speaking (NNES) students sent to professors in an American university. Two hundred six e-mails were analyzed to examine their apology strategies and opening and closing moves in e-mail writing. Results indicated that NNES students were more likely to add a detailed explanation regarding the cause of an offense than NES students. The most common apology strategy preferred by both groups was the use of EXPL+IFID formula. Group differences in framing opening and closing moves reflected perceptual differences regarding the social status between students and professors. NES students tended to focus on delivering their communicative goals, whereas NNES students tended to express their deference toward professors by opening and closing moves more formally. Pedagogical implications were made for EFL learners to write better e-mail for successful cross-cultural communication. (SungKyunKwan University)
