Abstract

 This paper reports on a case study of the role of out-of-school English literacy activities in promoting students’ English literacy at an elementary school in Bandung. The study is an attempt to respond to controversy among decision makers about the idea of offering English at elementary schools and the reality that at the school where the research was conducted, English is fully used as a means of instruction for English, Mathematics, and Science. Considering that literacy is shaped in socio-cultural contexts, the researcher assumed that the students acquired and developed their English literacy not only at school but also outside of school. Their out-of-school English literacy activities might contribute to their English literacy development. The research aims were to investigate the students’ English literacy level and to identify their out-of-school literacy activities. The theoretical framework covered the cognitive and socio-cultural theories of literacy. The research results were: 1) the majority of the fourth grade students were in early advanced and advanced levels for the aspects of reading and writing proficiency; and 2) their out-of-school English literacy activities played an important role in building their English literacy.

Abstract

Culture is the system of knowledge shared by a relatively large group of people. It is classified into three categories; ideas, behavior,a nd products which are shared by members of a given group. Language as one aspect of behavior (Robinson,  1988: 7) is a valuable resource and a contributing factor towards the sustainable development of the people speaking the language. The role of a language, for instance, in society is significant as a vehicle for the exchange of information and facilitating the transmission of knowledge. It is an indelible expression of life that conveys core values, builds ambition and spurns invention essential to strengthening the aspiration of the people. Language as part of culture and heritage stimulates the generation of ideas vital to the creation of a strong social infrastructure. Revitalizing a language is a component critical to strengthening an ethnic minority community on the margins of society who struggle to retain its identity. Sundanese language (bahasa Sunda) is one of the ethnic languages in Indonesia which is challenged by the existence of traditional, national, and foreign values merged in one community so that it faces the declination of speakers that limits its opportunity for having high position and vitality. Tourism industry and education are two of alternative media to revitalize the language which will be discussed in this paper.
