Recently, many researchers such as Dulay and Burt (1972), Burt and Kiparsky (1972),ErvinTripp (1974), Ellis (1981) and Krashen (1981, 1982) have supported the assumption that the process of L2 acquisition is similar to that of LI acquisition. In other words, they argue that if an L2 learner is exposed to large quantity of linguistic data he will acquire a second language in a manner similar to the way in which a child acquires a first language. Krashen sees comprehensible input as the necessary condition for L2 acquisition. He claims that the LAD will function properly if only an L2 learner receives "comprehensible input" containing structures that are a bit beyond his current level of competence. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether a second language can be acquired in a manner similar to the way in which a child acquires a first language when an L2 learner is exposed to comprehensible input. For that purpose, this paper discusses whether four elementary school children involved in a short-term experiment are in the process of acquiring a second language, that is, obtaining communicative competence, on the basis of the four communicative competence components proposed by Canale (1983).
