This paper is aimed to evaluate the communicative competence of Korean EFL learners through the Discourse Completion Tasks(DCT) analysis. The present study has the following purposes. The first purpose is to analyse the discourse completion data collected from Korean middle school students and university students. The second one is to suggest the discourse syllabus model for the 8th national curriculum in Korea. This study reveals the results that Korean EFL students use very limited strategies and expressions for thanking, apologizing, requesting and offering functions. So we need to teach Korean EFL learners how to select useful strategies for language functions, devise the discourse syllabus and consider the discourse approach to EFL context in further study.
