communicative language teaching approach, there are input, negotlation, output
and interactional feedback may be necessary for L2 learning, other sociocultural
aspect may also need to be considered, and instruction approach (Christine C.M.
and Rita Elain Silver, 2004)
 Behaviorism is an approach to psychology that has it roots within positivism, and
which has had a profound influence on language teaching throughout the world. (
Marion Wiliams and Robert L. Burden, 1997)

their natural environment; sociocultural context of complex health behaviours;
the diversity & richness of social life (katherin boydell, 2007)
 Interviews are necessity on research, the success of an interview depends both
on the skill of the interviewer, on their ability to ask the right kind of questions, to
insist and interpret,and on the willingness to talk on the part of the person being
interviewed. (Friederike klipper, 1984)

language, mother tongue is javanese language, and the child’s native language is
javanese language when he communicate in his family, friends, and neighbors
environments. But in his school he often communicate using Indonesian language
with his teacher.

the environment, the important of communicative context, adult’s rich interpretation
and feedback, child’s capacity for learning. (Christine C.M. and Rita Elain Silver,
2004)
