English A-Path in NNS Settings

Abstract

This paper is about English A-path (acquisitional-path) in NNS settings. Classroom experience inspires this study in a long qualitative naturalistic observation at teaching English to students in general and at English Departments in particular. Wheresoever, there are some naturalistic patterns of development of NNS learners in English Communicative Competence (ECC) observable in terms of various communicative constructs. Using naturalistic interview and diary journal, this paper quest for a trend of English A-path in NNS settings. It shows how NNS struggles and strives for English Communication, the constraints they strive to handle and the communicative affairs they gain.
