Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using the mother tongue on the development of cognitive abilities and second language acquisition in early childhood. The use of the mother tongue during early childhood plays a crucial role in shaping children's cognitive and linguistic development, influencing their ability to acquire a second language. This research examines how the mother tongue serves as a foundation for cognitive processing, problem-solving, and the transfer of linguistic skills to a second language. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study involves observations, cognitive assessments, and language proficiency tests to explore the relationship between mother tongue usage and the development of bilingual abilities. The results indicate that children who actively use their mother tongue show enhanced cognitive flexibility and improved second language proficiency. Moreover, the study highlights strategies to optimize the integration of the mother tongue in early education, including creating bilingual learning environments, fostering cultural awareness, and engaging parents in the language development process. These findings are expected to contribute to educational practices that support cognitive and linguistic growth in young children.Keywords: Mother tongue, cognitive development, second language acquisition, early childhood education, bilingualism

This study examines the use of media in language teaching to enhance students' listening skills within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. Listening is a fundamental skill in language acquisition, yet many students face challenges due to limited exposure to authentic listening materials. The integration of media such as audio recordings, podcasts, and interactive applications provides an immersive learning experience that fosters comprehension. This research employs a library research method, analyzing expert opinions and previous studies on the topic. Findings suggest that media use significantly enhances listening skills by providing real-life contexts, engaging learners, and catering to different learning styles. The study highlights the importance of media selection and its alignment with curriculum objectives to optimize learning outcomes.
