Abstract
English is the language used to gather and disseminate information around the world.
English is extremely important. As a result, English is taught in Indonesia as early as
kindergarten. However, difficulties in teaching English are unavoidable. Internal and
external factors contribute to the problem. Internal factors occur within students.
External factors such as school, society, and friends emerge from one's surroundings.
Because English is not Indonesia's first language, teaching English presents
significant challenges. Teachers play an important role in English instruction. It must
be balanced with school and government facilities and support. This has the potential
to alleviate difficulties in teaching English in Indonesia.
2. Parents usually correct young children when they make grammatical errors.
Actully, I disagree with this statement.
In our daily life, it’s rarely found where parents correct their young children
grammatical errors. What the parents do are to correct children pronouncing
errors. For example, when a child say “num num” means want to drink, then the
mom corrects by saying “minum.” But I think it’s an unconcious correction,
because at once the mom gives reinforcement to a child’s language. According to
communicative language learning method, language learning is a tool of
communication. Wherever, there is a convention among the speaker and the
listener in conversation, then they have a language. Grammar is ignoring because
both speaker and listener understand each other. This principle is also mentioned
by Krashen in his theory “Learning and Acquisition”. In line with this,
Lightboom and Spada (1993) pointed out their ideas that parents usually correct
young children when they make grammatical errors. Parents usually correct the
children’s grammatical errors by repeating the error into the right directly.
Correcting the children grammatical errors is always done by parents as one way
to reduce the language error in daily life.
Talking about grammatical errors, Chomsky also argued that children come to
know more about the stucture of their language than they could reasonably be
expected to learn on the basis of the samples of language they hear. The language
of children are exposed to include false starts, incomplete sentences, and the slips
of the tongue, and yet they learn to distingusih between grammatical and
ungrammatical sentences.
7. Once learners know roughly 1000 words and the basic structure of a
language, they can easily participate in conversations with native speakers.
I disagree with this statement.
Generally, learners easily participate in conversation are not only by the amount
of words they known, but also by some factors. In my experience in the
classroom, most of the students have more than 1000 words in English and know
the basic structure of English language, but they are lack in participating in
conversation, even there is no native speaker in the classroom. They said that
they are afraid to speak with some errors, shy to say the sentence in speaking,
difficult to express their idea in short conversation, and also feel difficult to use
the speech act in right place. These are some factors influence learners decide to
paticipate in conversation with native speaker.
Lightboon and Spada (1993) explain that the learner has constraint to acquire
skills for interpreting request, responding politely to compliments or apologies,
recognizing humor, and managing conversation. They need to learn to recoqnize
the many meaning that the same sentence can have in different situation. Many
research have been done which is regarding to pragmatic. Gabriele Kasper and
Kenneth Rose (2002) in Lightboom argued the five stages of longitudinal and
cross-sectional studies on the acquisition of requests in English. Kasper and Rose
divided the stages into (1) Pre-basic: highly content dependent, no syntax, and no
relational goal; (2) Formulaic: reliance unanalyzed formulas and imperatives; (3)
Unpacking: formulas incorporated into productive language use, shift to
conventional indirectness; (4) Pragmatic expansion: addition on a new forms to
repertoire, increased use of mitigation, more complex syntax, and (5) Fine
tuning: fine tuning of requisite force to participants, goals,and contexts. Its
example showed how difficult of non native English to participate in
conversation with native speaker even they have more than 1000 words.
