Abstract

This study explores the language learning dynamics within a bilingual family in Malaysia, focusing on parental strategies and their influence on language acquisition in Bahasa and Malay. Employing a qualitative case study design, participants were purposively sampled from the researcher's friend's family. Meticulous observation activities assessed various aspects of the family's language environment, including parental language use, exposure to authentic materials, and correcting linguistic errors. Creswell's framework guided data analysis, thoroughly examining observational data to derive meaningful insights. Trustworthiness was established through prolonged engagement, triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing. The findings revealed proactive parental approaches, such as creating daily communication contexts, utilizing diverse activities, and providing corrective feedback, which fostered a supportive language learning environment for the children. Overall, these efforts facilitated bilingualism and language proficiency in both Bahasa and Malay, highlighting the pivotal role of parental involvement. This study contributes empirical evidence of effective parental strategies in bilingual language development, enriching our understanding of SLA theories and bilingual language acquisition within familial contexts.

Abstract

This study investigated the types of refusal strategies employed by female English EFL learners at Daruzzahidin Islamic Boarding School. It utilized a qualitative approach, collecting data through a Discourse Completion Task and interviews with twenty and fifteen students, respectively. The results indicated that the most frequently used refusal strategy was indirect, followed by direct and adjunct strategies. The interviews revealed that the students' choice of refusal strategy was influenced by their family and school environments. This study supports previous research on refusal strategies, but contrasts with findings that suggest a different approach to refusal. The study highlights the importance of considering the social and cultural context in which language is used, as well as the individual differences in language expression. The findings also underscore the need for further research on refusal strategies, particularly using natural speech as data and exploring the topic across various fields such as psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics.
