Summary/Abstract: The main objective of the paper is a preliminary analysis of the dynamic interactionbetween the language-emotional-communicative processes which occur in languageclassrooms and both the natural conditions as well as student-/teacher-generatedfactors in classroom environments. In the article, a linguistic experiment conducted inthree language classrooms with English as the students’ second language is describedand an analysis of the research outcome is undertaken. The analysis of the researchoutcome serves a better understanding of the mechanisms which govern successfulcommunication in English as the second language. Thus, the intention of analysing theexperiment results might also be considered a voice in the discussion on homeostatictendencies in a language classroom.
