Abstract

ABSTRACT: It is universally acknowledged that learning a second/foreign language, e.g. English, since early childhood would contribute positively to the child’s language acquisition. Native-like pronunciation is one of the favored results gained from this process. This assumption is strongly supported by the Critical Period Hypothesis i.e. a biologically determined period of life when language can be acquired more easily. However, many studies indicate that “the younger the better” in learning English is not necessarily true. Native-like pronunciation and proficiency have been found to be acquired by a learner who started learning English in his adulthood. In regard to this matter, this paper attempts to review a belief “the younger the better” in learning English in the Indonesian context by looking at issues related to optimal age, factors contributing to the success of L2 acquisition, and current practices of teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL) in the Indonesian context.  KEY WORDS: second language, teaching English to young learners, critical period hypothesis, optimal age, psychosocial context, and learning condition.About the Author: Ika Lestari Damayanti, M.A. is a Lecturer at English Department, Faculty of Art and Language Education (FPBS), Indonesia University of Education (UPI) in Bandung.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: There has been awareness of gender asymmetry in some texts including those in ELT materials. This paper, in compliance to augmenting awareness of gender asymmetry, attempts to discuss gender representations in ELT textbooks. I will look at the representations of females and males by using transitivity analysis of functional linguistics within both the clause and the sentence. Two ELT textbooks published in Great Britain and Malaysia in 1970s were chosen in order to see how females and males were portrayed in the early era of language awareness. From the findings, it is revealed that both ELT textbooks from different cultures were not conscious enough of “political correctness” in gender matters. The number of female-male participants was unequal. Some males were described as being more active and competent whilst females being more passive and less competent than males. In some cases, females’ jobs were also represented as being less desirable. However, texts within Western culture represent females better than those within Eastern culture in terms of visibility and variety of job collocated to females. Hopefully, the present finding, from data in the 1970s, can be used as a gauge to measure progression of the use of language within educational material.   KEY WORDS: ELT textbooks, transitivity, gender asymmetry, and the Great Britain and Malaysia in 1970s.About the Author: Ika Lestari Damayanti, M.A. is a Lecturer at the Department of English Education, Faculty of Art and Language Education UPI (Indonesia University of Education), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, West Java, Indonesia.
