eng	Request Strategies in Spoken Learner Discourse	This paper examines directive speech acts in spoken learner discourse, specifically requests for information recorded in the Corpus of Czech Students’ Spoken English. The analysis of corpus dialogues investigates the directness level of requests, identifying direct and conventionally indirect strategies. It aims to categorize requests for information on the basis of their syntactic structure and semantic content, and to discuss their use in informal interaction. The findings confirm that, owing to the informal setting of the dialogues and low social distance between the participants, direct strategies prevail. However, Czech advanced speakers of English seem to experience difficulties in forming interrogative structures, the basic and most natural means to ask for information. Regarding conventionally indirect strategies, the learners tend to depend on a limited variety of familiar conventionalized structures.	directive speech act; request for information; direct strategy; conventionally indirect strategy; spoken discourse; Czech learners
