This study investigates the understanding or degree of apology strategies for junior college learners of English in different situations. 132 junior college students who studied English Conversation course responded to the apology questionnaires of ten items. First, the self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) which was modified from the previous study displayed students’ perception of apology responses. The SAQ test showed the dependent variables in six items: closeness, social distance, seriousness, need of apology, likeness accepting apology, gaining or losing face. The items 1 and 2 indicate that the participants feel strong closeness between the interlocutors, and their social distances are close regardless of different apology situations. In items 3 to 6, all apology situations are somewhat serious regardless of strong or weak degree of apology. The possibility is relatively high in likeness of accepting apology for a speaker, and the interlocutors feel gaining or losing face after exchanging of telling mistakes in all apology situations. Second, In the DCT items, there are five types of syntactic pattern that are mostly dominated for the use of apology in five situations: “S+V+C,” “intensifiers,” “infinitive,” “for phrase,” “that clause.”
