Raya attends kindergarten where her teacher also uses an interactionist model, engaging Raya actively in the classroom using Bahasa Indonesia and sometimes Javanese.

Raya and her Parents

7. Raya is student in kindergarten ‘Aisiyah Aba 3 Salatiga precisely at
the level of class A. Raya’s father and mother are accustom Raya to
using Bahasa Indonesia and Javanese language in the house.
Bahasa Indonesia is the first language that introduce to Raya then
Javanese because this Family ever lived in Palangkaraya, so it makes
Raya has two native languages that are Bahasa Indonesia and
Javanese.
The role of parents who always accompany Raya while studying and
the environment as well as playmates Raya friendly and fun make
her a figure of a little girl whose happy, active, communicative, and
including children extrovert. One of Raya’s teacher, Mr. Imam Tri
Wibowo claimed that Raya is also known as an active student,
agile, and wery like darwing and reading story book at school. In
daily interaction in her neighborhood Raya familiarized using the
Javanese and Bahasa Indonesia. In schools, Raya with more
emphasis using Bahasa Indonesia.

9. This model is closely related to Vygotsky’s Zone
Proximal Development (ZPD) which is defined as the
distance between a child’s state of cognitive capacity and
the level of potential development. In other words, it is
what the child can manage on his/her own compared
with what they can only manage with assistance from
adults. (Goh, 2004: 17-22)

10. Based on our observations we can
conclude that Raya’s first language
acquisition is Bahasa Indonesia and
Javanese language. in this case Raya’s
parents are including the type of
interactionist parents. This is seen in
terms of "the importance of
communicative context".
Raya’s parents who always apply the
importance of communicating with
children. In this case as an example: when
Raya ask anything to her parents with her
own language, and they will always
answered with logical and reasonable.
Raya is also in constant communication
with his parents when she has difficulty in
learning at school or problems she faced
at school.

11. Because Raya’s parents are the Java
native people, but ever lived for
several years in Palangkaraya, it
makes her parents to use Bahasa
Indonesia to communicate with
their children. In this case Raya
doesn’t find any difficulties to adjust
in using Javanese language that is
used for communication by her
parents in their daily
communication because Raya’s
environment also uses Javanese
language and it is included in
environment-friendly classified and
because its condition it make Raya
absorb the language easily.

14. Interactionist model is closely related to the views of sociolinguistics and
language use for communication. Second language acquisition for
adolescents (over 20+ years) pays attention to the interaction between
second language learners and native speakers. Preliminary studies of this
interaction was largely focused on the comprehensible input (meaning)
which was then related to innatist models. However, some other
researchers argued that learning process covers not only understanding
(comprehensible input) but also communication (language use). Thus,
the ideal learning situation is combination of both factors. Such a
situation is often connected to the linguistic environment – the
way(s) that language is used, with and around the learner. The research
has tried to explore possible roles for input, negotiation, output and
interactional feedback in second language learning. The implications of
Interactionist model can be seen in the practice of Communicative
Language Teaching Approaches (CLTAs) which cover various topics
or activities such as functional-notional, thematic, content-based,
task-based, etc. (Goh, 2004: 41-42)

16. As a Raya’s teacher, Mr. Imam using CLTAs to improve Raya’s
language skill. He was not only use one-way communication
with Raya but also invite Kingdom to play an active role in
communicating. So there is a kind of reciprocal between Mr.
Imam and Raya. Mr. Imam also not solely use Bahasa
Indonesia but but sometimes he also use Javanese language
to make it more easily to understood by Raya.

17. 1. There 3 models in LA. 1 and LA. 2: behaviorist, innatist,
interactionist.
2. Raya’s parents using interactionist model to develop her
language acquisition.
3. Raya’s first language acquisition is Bahasa Indonesia and
Javanese language.
4. Raya’s teacher also using interactionist model to develop
her SLA (second language Acquisition)
5. Raya’s SLA is Bahasa Indonesia.
6. It is very important to accompanying the children’s
language development because there are many factors
that can be absorb by children in very young age. It will
create her characters in the future. Remember that
environment the strong factor that can influence more.
