Psycholinguistics examines the intersection of psychology and linguistics, focusing on the processes involved in language acquisition and use. This field explores various linguistic theories and the cognitive mechanisms that enable individuals, especially children, to learn and use language effectively.
Interest, student learning strategies need to be considered by the teacher.
Motivation, has a strong influence in determining one's learning success.
Attitude, have an influence on one's success in learning English.
Aptitude, can affect the success of students in learning English.
IQ (Intellectual Quotient)
The Teacher Factor include teacher competence in mastering English material (what to teach), expertise in teaching (how to teach), and teacher motivation and persistence in teaching.
Language Acquisition Theory
(Teori Pemerolehan Bahasa)
The Convergence Theory is a point of integration between talent theory (nativism) and teaching/education theory (empirism).
Nativism theory holds that a child's development or success depends on the talent or aptitude the child has since birth.
Empiricism theory (by John Lock) holds that the child's development/success is determined by the education or teaching that the child receives from his parents, the environment, and the wider community.
The Cognitive-Code Learning implies the existence of a language learning process through the mastery of code, rules, rules or language formulas (grammatical rules) through cognitive processes (thinking) by the child.
The Habbit Formation Theory explains that young children can master the mother tongue or the first language because of the habit formation factor carried out by parents, family, or the environment, especially the mother.
