Acquisition of a certain language, normally, does not need a concentrated and complex dose of pure conscious knowledge of grammatical norms and rules; what is required is a smooth and meaningful interaction and full immersion in the target language, which is defined as: “Natural Way of Communication”, where there is no much focus on the form of the utterances; but on the talk and messages conveyed as a comprehensible input in a relaxed atmosphere; no fear or anxiety. In order to provide the audience with a useful and rich grasp of the topic at hand, the researchers have distributed a questionnaire among a group of (32) male and female First and Foundation year students at Ibri College of Applied Sciences in the Sultanate of Oman, studying advanced English courses. What the researchers have reached is that in order to acquire and develop a second language, there should not be much concentration on structure and form of utterances; it should be on conveying the comprehensible input that focusses mainly on the meaning, not formation of grammatical constructions. Discussion, implications, recommendations and suggestions will be highlighted throughout this paper.
