dc.description.abstractPurpose: This research aimed at identifying and examining words that were nativised by the thirdyear students of Wildlife Management and Ecotourism at University of Namibia (UNAM) Katima Mulilo Campus, investigating their frequency of occurrence, the sentence structure patterns and other grammatical patterns. Methodology: The study population encompassed of 15 third-year students. Mixed research methodology was implemented to analyse the word frequencies, sentence patterns and grammatical patterns. Findings: The findings of the study reveal that a total of 2290 words were nativised by the students. The sentence patterns also show that five structures of syntactic patterns were used by students in their writings, while patterns of grammar were more phrasal, with noun phrases favoured more, followed by prepositional phrases. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: On the basis of these findings, suggestions for future research have been recommended. It is hope that researchers in the future will employ a larger data sets to study nativisation of sentence patterns, focusing on nouns and prepositional phrases.
