Task-Handling Competence in Second Language Learning: The Navigator in Production(NIP) Model

This paper presents a comprehensive framework for English language education that reconceptualizes English proficiency through the lens of task-handling ability and language resources. Moving beyond traditional four-skills models, we propose Navigator in Production (NIP) as a pedagogical approach that emphasizes the development of sustained monologue production skills through structured navigational patterns that guide learners from novice to proficient speakers. This paper contributes to the field by offering a practical methodology that bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and classroom application, fostering both linguistic competence and communicative confidence in English language learners.
