Dita Ariyantika Ramadhani — 2024-06-26

The necessity to promote multilingualism and cultural competence in educational settings has grown substantially in our contemporary globalized society. The phenomenon is referred to the translanguaging approach, and it is commonly applied in bilingual schools. This approach has been implemented in various contexts, particularly in English for Young Learners (EYL) programs. However, study on translanguaging as it applies to elementary-level bilingual education remains scarce. The issue lies in the traditional segmentation of languages in bilingual education systems, which frequently disregards the possible advantages of utilizing the complete linguistic repertoire of students. The main objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a translanguaging approach within a particular bilingual elementary school setting. Data will be collected via a qualitative case study method that includes student feedback, teacher interviews, and classroom observations. This research approach intends to provide valuable insights into the practical aspects and obstacles associated with the implementation of translanguaging practices. Insights from teacher interviews revealed the benefits of translanguaging in a bilingual environment. In addition to contributing to the ongoing discussion on effective language pedagogy, this study emphasizes the significance of embracing linguistic diversity in EYL.

SIX ELEMENTS AFFECTING LANGUAGE LEARNER SYSTEMS

Muhammad Zen Masruri — 2024-06-26

There has been a lot of discussion about understanding and describing second language acquisition. This document offers a summary of error analysis in the field. It presents a new and intriguing angle on learner English in comparison to previous studies on second language acquisition. Research on mistakes made by child language learners focuses on the cognitive and linguistic processes involved in learning a language. When acquiring a second language, there are six factors that can impact and define the systems of the language learner, such as universal hierarchy of difficulty, intralingual interference, sociolinguistic context, modality, age, successions of approximative systems. Viewing the rough language systems of learners not as issues to be eliminated, but as important phases in learning the target system, could lead to a better comprehension of language overall and a more compassionate method of teaching it.
