Abstract

This paper attempts to offer some efforts that can be applied or employed by teachers  in teaching learning activities to shape self-directed learners. It encompasses some theories about roles of teachers, roles of learners, the definition and characteristics of self-directed learners,the advantages of self-directed learning, and some possible tips of shaping self-directed learners. Some roles of teachers  are discussed in this paper to highlight that  teachers do not only teach and give some materials to be learned by their  learners but have great tasks, like  to be  a monitor of students learning, motivator, organizer, and controller of pupil behaviour,provider of accurate language models,counselor and friend, needs analyst,material developer, and evaluator (Richard :1990:4). Hence, a teacher must encourage learners to take on greater degree of responsibility for their own successful learning (Hedge, 2000:34) and a teacher must motivate and help the learners to gain and develop the executive control of their  learning strategies especially metacognitive strategies to teach them how to learn (Joyce,etal:  2009:16).Thus, some roles of learners become important to be included in this paper to assert that the burden of learning cannot be merely puored on the teacher but the learners  have some roles need to be contemplated for the success of teaching and learning.  Therefore, the integration of teacher - learner  awareness toward their roles in teaching learning process can be effectively shaped to generate self-directed learners.

Abstract

Language acquisition is  the process of acquiring the mother tongue, beginning with crying, cooing, and babbling, and eventually progressing to speaking. Between the ages of two and four, children demonstrate a noticeable development of language creativity. This study aims to provide example of  the evidence of language creativity of a four year old Indonesian child. This research is  a  qualitative method with case study approach. The subject of this research is a four year old Indonesia child. The data were collected through observation and note-taking, and then analysed descriptively to draw conclusions.The result of the observation in this study revealed 17 utterances that serve as evidence of the child’s language creativity. The result of this study can be concluded that childish creativity in language acquisition  is a kind of  speaking ability of  a child for overcoming his/her limitation for words they still do not have to describe  new things then, he made the mistake when he independently try to  use his  language. As for the creative use of language, based on the data of this research, it  can be caused by the child’ syntactical problem: misuse of adjective to make adverb,  time concept confusion, semantical problems: failure to combine nouns with correct adjectives to make the opposition of particular  words and morphological problems :the use of suffix for words to form verbs, which are caused the  absence of  dictions  to describe new things   but  his intended meanings can be easily understood. It also happened because of generalization  made by the child in order to overcome his limitation in speaking result in  improper word selection.
