subjects was insufficient. Since request behavior is a linguistic performance of pragmatics, more subjects will help provide a better picture of subjects’ strategy use.
This problem can be solved by recruiting more participants in the future.
Second, there was no balance of the number of our male and female subjects. A better way is to recruit the same size of participants according to their gender in future research.
Thirdly, in the present study, only four events of request were designed. However, the question as to whether or not event types will influence subjects’ production of request strategies was not addressed. In the future, events involving health care or academic performance can be included.
Finally, in the present study, we only examined our subjects’ production of request,
98
but previous studies have pointed out that how L2 learners’ perceived politeness or
appropriateness of request should be highly appreciated as well since there may be some correlations between perception and production of speech acts. Thus, both perception and production data of request strategies can be both explored.
