Abstract

This study investigates the early language development of children aged one to two years through the lens of Jean Piaget’s cognitive development theory. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved longitudinal observations of three toddlers Cinta, Adriel, and Arvin over a six-month period, focusing on their verbal output, contextualized speech, and interactional behaviors. The analysis revealed that the children exhibited both expressive and receptive language competencies, manifesting in the use of single-word utterances, two-word combinations, and telegraphic speech structures. Key determinants influencing the trajectory and nature of their language acquisition included familial communication, the presence and responsiveness of caregivers, and the richness of the home linguistic environment. These findings align with Piaget’s assertion that language development is intrinsically linked to cognitive maturation, wherein children begin to utilize verbal symbols to represent people, objects, actions, and affective states. The study highlights the foundational importance of early social interaction and emotional bonding in facilitating linguistic growth during the sensorimotor and initial preoperational phases of development.

This study is a research work in the field of consecutive community interpreting, focusing on the knowledge mastery and competence of interpreters who provide services in religious contexts. The objective of the research is to analyze and discover the extent to which two interpreters, each participating in different religious activities, demonstrate knowledge mastery and how this aspect influences their interpreting competence. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, supported by the theory of interpreting competence as the main analytical framework. Data were obtained through questionnaires and in-depth interviews conducted with both interpreters, aiming to capture their personal experiences, preparation strategies, and problem-solving approaches during interpreting tasks. The questionnaires were processed using a Likert scale to provide measurable indicators of knowledge mastery, while the interviews offered deeper insights into the interpreters’ practical challenges and decision-making processes. The findings reveal that knowledge mastery plays a crucial role in shaping interpreting competence, particularly in specialized settings such as religious activities where cultural and contextual sensitivity is essential. The study contributes to the understanding of community interpreting by emphasizing the integration of theoretical knowledge, linguistic skills, and contextual awareness. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of interpreter training programs that incorporate not only language proficiency but also domain-specific knowledge to ensure high-quality interpreting services.
