Abstract

Early childhood language development relies heavily on cognitive processes together with environmental quality of stimulation. This quantitative investigation determines the measures to which both cognitive engagement and environmental elements contribute towards children's language growth. A standard survey and official language testing instruments gathered information from three hundred children between ages 3 and 6 from distinct economic groups. The statistical analysis using multiple regression demonstrates that cognitive stimulation (β = 0.55, p < 0.001) as well as environmental stimulation (β = 0.41, p < 0.001) serve as significant predictors of language acquisition with an explanation of 56% (R² = 0.56). The study confirmed that socio-economic status affects language development (β = 0.29, p < 0.001) yet both cognitive and environmental stimulation variables mediated the relationship between these factors thereby reducing the impact of socio-economic factors on language development. The research helps expand current knowledge through quantitative evidence supporting cognitive and environmental factors while analyzing the combined learning environments of homes and schools and overcoming rigid views about SES's effect on language development. The analysis demonstrates why educational approaches that include student interactions matter together with early literacy initiatives and controlled linguistic and education programs during early childhood. Researchers emphasize the necessity of government programs that actively improve both intellectual and environmental stimulation in child education facilities. The study yields valuable findings yet future research must use longitudinal studies to track longer-term consequences between these factors and diverse dimensions of language development.

Abstract

This study investigates the utilization of digital media in second language acquisition from a psycholinguistic perspective among elementary school students in Makassar City. As digital technologies increasingly shape contemporary learning environments, understanding their cognitive, linguistic, and motivational impacts is essential for strengthening instructional practices. Employing a qualitative research design, this study draws on in-depth interviews with teachers, classroom observations, and document analysis to explore how digital media influences students’ comprehension, memory encoding, and engagement during English language learning. The findings reveal that digital media significantly enhances learners’ cognitive engagement by capturing attention through multimodal features such as animation, sound, and interactivity. These elements reduce cognitive load and support sustained focus, allowing students to process linguistic input more effectively. The study also demonstrates that digital media facilitates deeper comprehension by providing immediate contextual cues visual, auditory, and symbolic that help young learners grasp vocabulary and sentence structures without relying on translation. Furthermore, repetitive and visually supported digital content strengthens memory encoding, enabling students to retain and recall language items more reliably. Various types of digital media including videos, interactive learning applications, digital games, and presentation tools were found to serve complementary pedagogical functions that teachers employed strategically to support linguistic development. Overall, the study concludes that digital media, when thoughtfully integrated, acts as a powerful tool that enriches cognitive processing, reinforces memory, and fosters a more engaging and inclusive learning environment. These insights highlight the need for continued professional development and infrastructural support to maximize the pedagogical potential of digital media in elementary second language education.
