Abstract

English has been introduced in early levels of elementary schools apparently based on the assumption the earlier the better. The present article reviews some literature on the ralation between age and second language acqusition and has to conclude that the assumption does not have solid foundation. It also discusses the implications relevant to Indonesian context, especially concerning amount of instructional time, educational value, and resources.

Abstract

The present article is intended to examine what a child acquiring a first language did when he encountered communication block in his interaction with others. More specifically, it examine linguistic output modification attempted by the child when he was not successful in getting his meaning across or in achieving his intended goal. The corpus data, in the form of cards containing naturally occurring utterances together with the context which were collected for one year, starting at age 1;6 and ended at 2;6 were part of a participant observation, parental-diary, naturalistic case study into his early language development. In his attempts to overcome a communication block, the child was found to make phonological, lexical, morphological, and syntactical elaboration, thus producing more comprehensible output. Relevant implications are then forwarded for the teaching of English in Indonesia.
