TASK 1 CHILDREN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Observation of Baby Tatans Language Acquisition

Babies are born with a "language" acquisition device, a metaphorical organ that is
responsible for learning the language. Research shows at the age of 5 months, infants already
specifically use the left side of their brain for language and right side sounds to express
emotions. Babies already use the right side of the brain for their mouths to chatter, babbling
words controlled by the left hemisphere - it's done even at the age of 5 months.

How Babies Learn to Speak, language development begins long before the baby's first
birthday. In fact, it starts in the womb. children aged 4 months can distinguish between two
sentences. At a very early age, babies already prefer to listen to more natural sound samples.
With simple head movements shifting to different sides, it shows us that they find a way to
separate continuous and never-ending speeches into "pieces".

Here it is hot in social media. The figure of a small child aged less than 5 years with
photos and videos behaving. Usually called Baby Tatan or Baby Tatan with Instagram account
followers are 3.3 millions. This little boy is so smart that his childhood moment is always
recorded by his siblings. His full name is Jonathan Ricardo Sugianto (@jrsugianto), his called
as Tatan. He was born on Febuary 28th, 2013, means he is 4,5 months now. His father is Johan
Sugianto, his mother is Shanty Sugianto. Hi also has older brother named Gerlado Sugianto,
and older sister named Cindy Sugianto.

The relationship between researcher, Okta Mahendra and Baby Tatan is only a fan that
always follows his activities and monitors his development especially in his language
development.

Tatan is superactive baby under 5 years old, he has been already fluent to speak since
2 years old. The video is booming in internet last 2015;

Sister : Tan tan kalau kucing bunyinya gimana?


Baby Tatan : Kuciiing..
Sister : Kalau ayam?
Baby Tatan : kukuyuyuuuk..
Sister : Kalau kambing?
Baby Tatan : kambiiing..
Sister : Kalau cicak?
Baby Tatan : Cicaaak..

TASK 1 CHILDREN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

It is perfectly normal that children in the first level can not pronounce R and TH. No
need to worry if at the age of five or six years, only the two that have not mastered. As Baby
Tatan, he can not say R, so replaced by Y (Kukuyuyuk).

Now Baby Tatan is 4. 8 years old, he is absolutelay more fluent in speaking not only
words, but already sentences clearly as children even adult.

He has been able to grasp the meaning of the conversation of others without having to
imitate what he will say. He is very initiative in making sentences and has more word
production than babies of the same age. When some of his age children who are still learning
to recite a few letters sound like they have an accent. For example, instead of saying "merah",
he instead says "mehwah", but baby Tatan is able to express the word merah more clearly even
though the word R is not too thick, and replaced with 'wr'.

Baby Tatan has been able to pronounce the letters of vowels including difficult letters
such as N, W, D, T, K, G, F, S and H. He has been able to pronounce words consisting of CH,
J, L, R and TH are classified difficult and usually only be used at the end of the toddler, but
nevertheless in the pronunciation of R is not as thick as children of children or adults. But this
is quite rare.

" Kakak- kakak aku mau dikirimi nih sama, sama Alfamidi. Ini mukaku, ini ini aku buat minum
susu nih . Nih mimi kalau masak pakek ini nih. Ini juga . tuuuh. Nah, mug yang ini ini buat
papi bikin kopi sore- sore. nih. Bang kopinya dimasak, diseduh, jadi digoreng, diaduk- aduk,
diminum abis . srrruuuup. Nah ini buat Ko Dodo masak mi goreng nih. Dia suka banget nih!
tereeeng!!. Kakak- kakak mau ini semua kayak aku cepetan beli, kakak- kakak ! Nanti keburu
abis lhooo.... Belinya di Alfamidi ya! Les goo. byeee byeeee."

It can be analyzed that Baby Tatan is able to speak quickly, analyze words and sentences
correctly not apart from the Language Device that he has and the biggest thing is the influence
of the family, especially the people around him who always invite him to communicate
continuously. So, he is absolutely good in speaking.

In another case, baby Tatan has been able to sing with the production of sentences and
words that he has eloquently and gratefully. A reasonable obstacle encountered by a 4-year-
old baby is when singing still as it is with a flat intonation and almost all endings of the song
with the same intonation.
