This article presents analysis of the narrative proficiency of L1 and L2 learners of Dutch. A group of Dutch native children and a group of Turkish immigrant children, born and reared in The Netherlands, were asked to tell a story from a series of pictures, first when they entered primary school and again when they were in the third year of primary school.In comparison with their Dutch peers, the Turkish children exhibit more or less the same level of narrative proficiency in Dutch; however, their grammatical knowledge is deficient. It was concluded that by using their communicative skills, the L2 learners are able to perform almost as well as native children in a task that is cognitively and contextually easy
