As an exploratory study to expand the scope of focus-on-form instruction to the teaching of pragmatics, the present research sought to examine the effects of two different obtrusive instructions on the learning of request forms. The effects were examined in three respects: the learning of target request forms, the confidence in formulating request forms, and the rationale for formulating request forms. To this end, 76 female students at a middle school in Busan, Korea, participated in the present study and were divided into explicit teaching group and form-comparison group. They were required to take a pretest, receive four sessions, and take a posttest set. The results suggest that the two groups did not differ from each other nor from the native-speaker group in terms of the request forms employed, and that the treatments did not suffice to promote learners’ confidence. Nevertheless, the self-report data indicated that the explicit teaching has helped the learners understand the significance of sociolinguistic variables in selecting appropriate request forms.
