English continues to be valued as an important medium for science education in Indian universities and colleges, Ideally, a "culturally competent" member of the science community is one who can actively and efficiently participate in the transaction of knowledge and social values that the community wishes to maintain. In an ethnographic study based on a progressive college community in a semi-urban context, it was observed that the process of interaction in the undergraduate science curriculum determines a restrictive communicative experience whereby the learner's cultural competence is limited to communicative acts at a nonparticipatory level. It is therefore concluded that the learner's communicative experience needs to be elaborated through a language curriculum in which there is provision for meaning negotiation in participatory, culturally appropriate and academically challenging communicative situations.
