Abstract

This study investigates the psycholinguistic impact of age on language acquisition in children aged 6-12, focusing on both first (L1) and second language (L2) learners Middle childhood is a critical phase in cognitive and linguistic development, marked by significant brain maturation and increasing cognitive abilities. For L1 learners, this period involves mastering complex syntactic structures, expanding vocabulary, and refining communicative competence. L2 learners benefit from greater cognitive flexibility than older learners, although they may require more explicit instruction. We explore how cognitive development, social environment, and neurological factors influence the ability to acquire languages at this stage. The study compares L1 and L2 acquisition processes and assesses whether the age range offers a critical or sensitive period for language learning. Data was collected through observation and testing of linguistic competencies in children learning under different conditions. Our findings suggest that children within this age range demonstrate high neuroplasticity, enabling relatively smooth L2 acquisition alongside L1 development, but with notable differences in grammar mastery and accent retention.

Abstract

Studi ini menyelidiki sikap siswa terhadap penerapan Kurikulum Merdeka di sekolah menengah atas di Pematangsiantar. Kurikulum Merdeka, yang diperkenalkan sebagai bagian dari reformasi pendidikan Indonesia, menekankan pembelajaran yang berpusat pada siswa dan pengembangan pemikiran kritis, kreativitas, dan keterampilan praktis. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner terstruktur dengan 50 peserta, dengan fokus pada tiga komponen sikap: kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik. Temuan tersebut mengungkapkan bahwa 61% siswa menunjukkan sikap kognitif yang positif, yang menunjukkan bahwa kurikulum membantu pemahaman mereka terhadap pelajaran. Komponen afektif mencatat 65,6% tanggapan positif, yang mencerminkan peningkatan motivasi dan minat pada topik yang relevan, sementara 64,8% siswa menanggapi secara positif dalam ranah psikomotorik, yang menunjukkan peningkatan keterlibatan dalam kegiatan praktik. Namun, tantangan seperti manajemen waktu, tanggung jawab, dan keterbatasan sumber daya dicatat. Studi tersebut menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun Kurikulum Merdeka menumbuhkan sikap yang sebagian besar positif di antara siswa, mengatasi tantangan ini sangat penting untuk memaksimalkan potensinya. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap wacana reformasi pendidikan di Indonesia dan menyoroti pentingnya strategi yang disesuaikan untuk meningkatkan implementasi kurikulum.

Abstract

This outreach program was designed to enhance the awareness, understanding, and motivation of Grade XI students at Tamsis Senior High School in facing the TOEFL Listening section. As English becomes increasingly vital in global academic and professional environments, improving students’ listening proficiency is a critical step toward success. The program introduced the concept of the TOEFL, its purposes, benefits, and different types (iBT, ITP, Prediction). It also focused on common listening challenges and specific strategies to address them. These included concentrating on the second speaker’s response, recognizing paraphrased or synonymous vocabulary, and avoiding answer choices based on similar-sounding words. The implementation phase featured interactive presentations, audio-based simulations, and group discussions. Students practiced answering real TOEFL-style questions and received immediate feedback. The use of PowerPoint, Google Forms, and authentic audio materials fostered engagement and improved comprehension. During the evaluation phase, students reported increased confidence and a stronger motivation to continue practicing. They also demonstrated a clearer understanding of TOEFL Listening expectations and test structure. The interactive format allowed for active participation, peer learning, and personalized strategy application. As a result, the outreach program proved effective in equipping students with the necessary tools to approach TOEFL Listening tasks with greater competence and self-assurance. It is recommended that similar initiatives be replicated in other schools to help students prepare early for English proficiency tests. By combining strategic instruction, real-world materials, and motivational support, this program offers a practical model for developing listening skills that are essential for academic and professional advancement.
