Abstract

The family environment plays a crucial role in shaping children's language development during their early years. This study explores the multifaceted impact of familial factors such as parental acquisition of language skills. Parental engagement in conversations, storytelling, and reading activities fosters vocabulary growth, grammatical understanding, and communication abilities. Socioeconomic disparities influence access to resources like books and educational opportunities, which directly affect language exposure and development. Additionally, a supportive and emotionally nurturing family environment enhances language acquisition by creating a positive context for learning. This research underscores the importance of fostering a language-rich and emotionally supportive home environment to promote optimal linguistic and cognitive development in children. Future interventions and policies aimed at addressing language delays must prioritize empowering families with resources and strategies for active engagement in their child's language learning journey.

Abstract

This study presents a socialization activity that introduced the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to 11th-grade students in the TKJ program at SMK Nusantara Tanah Jawa. This initiative aimed to raise awareness of the TOEFL test format, its importance, and its relevance to academic and career development. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving 16 students through a structured program consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Findings indicated that most students were initially unfamiliar with the TOEFL, especially the listening component. However, this socialization activity effectively increased students' understanding and interest in English learning, especially in the listening section. Challenges such as low prior knowledge and limited engagement were addressed through simplified explanations and interactive sessions. Overall, the activity contributed positively to improving students' English language competence and motivation, preparing them to understand the TOEFL listening section for global academic and professional demands.
