Second language (L2) occurs when an individual has acquired first
language (L1) and commonly acquired through scientific and natural
ways. Second language acquisition generally takes place at younger age
and through formal and nonformal education. Amondus, the participant of
this study, confirmed that he started to learn and acquire English as his
second language at his adulthood. Having started to learn English in high
school, he just found it interesting and important during his college time.
He found many English terms in his major, nursing. This reason led him to
put his extensive effort in learning English. This qualitative descriptive
case study aims at investigating Amondus’ grammatical competence in his
second language acquisition. Semi-structured and extensive interviews
were used to collect the data before they were analyzed through
transcription, investigation and classification, analysis, and conclusion
drawing. The results showed that Amondus has possessed and mastered
nine grammatical morphemes, despite a minor error related to the use of
copula that was still contextually understandable. Amondus’ oral
grammatical competence related to nine grammatical morphemes was
considered effective.
