This paper explores L2 acquisition of Korean ‘i/ka’ occurrence in spoken context. Korean subject marker ‘i/ka’ has different occurrence depending on the linguistic contexts. In the study, 47 L1 Chinese learners of Korean (24 Advanced learners and 23 Intermediate learners) and 25 Korean native speakers have participated. The experiment material consists of 18 multiple choice tasks where 15 ‘i/ka’ occurrence items and 3 ‘i/ka’ non-occurrence items were provided along with written discourse context. The contexts of ‘i/ka’ occurrence were designed to provide ‘exclusive contrast’, ‘selecting focus’, ‘replacing focus’, ‘rhetoric question’, and ‘confirmation question’ according to their unpredictability level. The contexts of ‘i/ka’ non-occurrence were neutral in terms of focus on the subject and had high expectable subject from the given context. The results showed that the L2ers had different choices compared to Korean native speakers’ in most of the occurrence and non-occurrence contexts. This implicates that more focused instruction on case marker occurrence is needed in order to equip the Korean L2ers better for their spoken language proficiency.
