영문 초록

This qualitative study explores how opportunities to gain communicative competence in English as a Second Language (ESL) are provided/blocked for high-school-aged ESL students inside and beyond the classroom by focusing on various activities and interactional patterns within them. The aim of the study is to describe and analyze the different activities as well as the patterns of interaction within the activities as they were either conducive or a hindrance to the development of communicative ability. The study found that the activities inside the classroom are either product-based or process-based in nature while the outside classroom activities are typically process-based. The analysis of the interactional patterns within the activities shows that several characteristics are associated with the opportunities that seem to enable the student to acquire communicative competence in English: autonomy, two-way communication, cultural awareness, and group discussion. On the other hand, the following conditions seem to block the student from developing communicative ability: teacher regulation, passive participation, a focus on form rather than context and content, and limitations placed on the topics of interaction.
