<![CDATA[Education is more than just teaching—it involves helping students understand and develop character, honing their innate potential in the learning process. This paper aims to provide teachers with insights on how to understand child development through developmental psychology and child psycholinguistics approaches. Teachers can create a more effective and supportive learning environment by understanding cognitive, emotional, and language development stages. The developmental psychology approach helps teachers recognize the emotional and social needs of children, allowing them to offer appropriate support at each stage of development. Meanwhile, child psycholinguistics enables teachers to understand how children acquire and develop language abilities, thus helping them create more appropriate and effective teaching methods. By integrating these two approaches, teachers can better design curricula and teaching strategies that suit the developmental needs of each child. This not only enhances teaching effectiveness but also helps children fully develop their potential holistically, covering cognitive, emotional, social, and linguistic aspects. A deep understanding of developmental psychology and child psycholinguistics equips teachers with the necessary tools to support each student's educational journey, making education a more meaningful experience and building the character and skills needed for their future.]]>

<![CDATA[During the school years, children experience integrated development that combines various skills to handle increasingly complex tasks, including language development. Language development is an individual's ability to communicate with their environment. This communication is essential for building relationships with others, allowing individuals to feel connected to their surroundings. Language skills continue to develop throughout the school years, during which students can increasingly understand and interpret communication through speech, writing, and body language, enabling them to understand and be understood by those around them. Children develop language abilities from simple to complex forms along with their growth and development. Children learn language by imitating and repeating words used by adults, similar to how they learn other things.]]>

<![CDATA[In the rapidly evolving era of globalization, children in Indonesia face significant challenges in preserving their local cultural identity. Several factors contribute to this, including low interest in literature based on local culture and the strong influence of global culture, which dominates children’s media and education. Local culture-based literacy is a solution to strengthen children’s cultural awareness and local identity. This study aims to analyze the role of local culture-based literacy in shaping children’s cultural identity amidst globalization. Additionally, it seeks to identify the challenges in implementing such literacy and explore potential solutions. The research method used is a literature review, collecting relevant scholarly articles on local culture-based literacy and children’s cultural identity. This study examines existing research findings to identify factors influencing the effectiveness of cultural literacy in strengthening children’s cultural identity in the globalization era. The results indicate that local culture-based literacy positively shapes children’s cultural identity. This literacy enhances pride in local culture, despite challenges such as low reading interest in culturally-based materials, limited access, and the influence of global culture, which remain significant obstacles. Furthermore, the use of technology and educator training can serve as solutions to address these challenges.]]>

<![CDATA[The problem raised in this study is the challenge local products face in entering an increasingly competitive global market, particularly in integrating local culture and folklore into product marketing strategies. The use of local cultural elements has the potential to be a strong differentiation tool, but it often encounters obstacles in terms of artistic sensitivity and international market acceptance. This research aims to analyze how local culture and folklore can be applied in local product marketing to compete in the global market, as well as to identify the challenges and opportunities companies face in integrating local culture into their marketing strategies. This study employs a literature review approach, where various relevant sources are collected and analyzed to understand the application of local culture in product marketing and explore related challenges and opportunities. The findings of this study indicate that integrating local culture into product marketing can enhance product appeal in the global market, increase consumer loyalty, and build stronger emotional connections with international consumers. However, achieving this success requires in-depth market research and a culturally sensitive approach to avoid miscommunication or cultural distortion.]]>

<![CDATA[The decline in the use of local languages among Indonesia’s younger generations is an urgent issue, where the dominance of Indonesian and foreign languages is increasingly limiting the space for regional languages in daily life. This study aims to identify strategies for revitalizing local languages through the educational curriculum and to examine the challenges encountered in its implementation. The research method used in this study is a literature review, analyzing relevant articles, journals, and policy documents. The findings indicate that although integrating regional languages into the curriculum has been undertaken, significant challenges include teacher training, limited high-quality teaching materials, and insufficient policy support. Therefore, to ensure the revitalization of local languages, collaboration between the government, educational institutions, and the community is needed, along with developing a more adaptive curriculum and supporting resources.]]>
