Abstract

This study examines the role of sign language as the main means of communication and reflection of the character of deaf children in SLB ABC Argasari Lestari. The main problem faced is children's limitations in conveying emotions and needs verbally, so the research aims to understand how sign language supports the development of children's confidence, social interaction, and character. This study uses a qualitative approach using the case study method, involving direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that sign language is not only a communication tool but also reflects the unique personality of each child. Children who actively use sign language show increased confidence and the ability to interact with the environment. In addition, values such as empathy, responsibility, and courage develop through teacher guidance. Teachers play an important role in guiding the effective and ethical use of sign language. This finding confirms that sign language is a medium that supports character development and social integration of deaf children, as well as showing their uniqueness to the community

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital media consumption among young children has increased their exposure to foreign languages, particularly English. This phenomenon raises concerns about its potential impact on the development of their native language, Indonesian language. The purpose of this study is to identify the obstacles to Indonesian language experienced by children and to understand the effect of English-language digital media on their language development. This study examines the effect of exposure to English-language digital media on Indonesian language skills in early childhood. The phenomenon found shows that 5-year-old children who are more often exposed to digital content in English have difficulty in using Indonesian, especially in choosing words, constructing sentences, and communicating with peers. This study employed a qualitative case study methodology, with data collected through structured interviews with parents, systematic observations of children's communicative behaviors, and comprehensive documentation of their daily language usage. The results of the study show that intensive exposure to digital media and family communication patterns play a major role in children's language development. Children tend to be more accustomed to using English and have difficulty communicating in Indonesian. This study concludes that early exposure to English can affect children's Indonesian language skills. The recommendation given to parents is to reduce exposure to English-language digital media and increase interaction in Indonesian.
