Abstract

This research investigates how parents support their children's English language development. Interviews with the parents of a nine-year-old Indonesian girl named Acha (pseudonym) were conducted to learn more about how they perceived their involvement in their daughter's development of English-speaking abilities. When the research was conducted, Acha was a third grader at an elementary school with 364 subscribers on her YouTube channel. Her competence in speaking English is exhibited in her YouTube videos. This research indicates that Acha’s English language acquisition process has involved her parents’ interventions directly and indirectly. This research reveals several helpful practices performed by Acha's parents, including early exposure to simple vocabulary, a positive home literacy environment (HLE) situation, encouragement of Acha to use English, and facilitation of Acha's access to English-language YouTube content. According to the results of this research, Acha's parents' practices are mediated by their educational experiences, socioeconomic status, and digital literacy skills. This research demonstrates the beneficial effects of parental participation on children's language development.

This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the social phenomena reflected in the song lyrics and how they shape public perceptions of gender roles and power dynamics. The method used is critical discourse analysis, which emphasizes the relationship between language and power within the lyrics. The data for this study consists of the lyrics of Sit Still, Look Pretty, obtained from a valid source.

The data analysis technique employs Sara Mills' theory, focusing on the position of subjects and objects in the lyrics and the perspectives used.
