The study explores learner apologies through native speakers' perception with a focus on relationship between sincerity and intonation. Thirty Thai learners of English (15 EFL, 15 ESL) and ten native speaker controls role-played in apology scenarios in scripted and unscripted task conditions. The apologies were recorded and played to 45 native speaker judges who determine whether or not the apologies were actual apologies. The analyses were conducted to examine the extent to which the speakers were successful in conveying their intent, task effects, and intonational correlates of sincerity or lack of it. The results show that while all speaker groups' sincere apologies were perceived as intended, both groups of learners failed to convey their ostensible intent. There was also a task effect in which learners' scripted apologies tended to be perceived as more sincere than their ostensible counterparts. Regarding intonation, a high pitch accent and a low boundary tone are associated with sincere apologies while accented first-person pronoun I, a double pitch accent, and a high boundary tone are associated with ostensible apologies.
