The purpose of this study is to shed light on the ways to suggest the context of a ‘request’ expression ‘-(으)ㄹ래(요)?’ in the Korean textbooks through investigating the usage and situation where the Korean native speakers use ‘-(으)ㄹ래(요)?’. There are various ‘request’ expressions in Korean which have similar meaning, but each ‘request’ expressions are dependent on the context. Therefore, the Korean learners need to know the appropriate situational context in question to speak the appropriate ‘request’ expressions in the appropriate situation. First, it is examined how ‘-(으)ㄹ래(요)?’ is suggested in four kinds of Korean textbooks used in the language institutions attached to colleges. Secondly, it is analyzed how Korean native speakers use ‘-(으)ㄹ래(요)?’ as a ‘request’ form, using the corpus of drama scenarios. Going through these processes, this study discovered the situational context where ‘-(으)ㄹ래(요)?’ is used and suggested the way to present ‘-(으)ㄹ래(요)?’ in the Korean textbook. Although the corpus used in this study was not from the real spoken material but drama scenarios and the quantity of corpus was small, this study is meaningful in that the findings of this study provided the extended knowledge of ‘-(으)ㄹ래(요)?’ in the respect of context.
