On Thursday , 26th march 2019 at 1.00 p.m, the writer decided to observe her
little cousin named Casandra Ledo. Casandra Ledo is a 3 years old girl who has an active
personality. She loved to jumps here and there. Although her communication skill
wasn’t really good ,She’s not afraid at all to interact with people around her. Her father
,Agus Ledo is a fishermen and her mother, Reny Fafo is a house wife. Both of them used
Kupang Malay as their language to communicate in their daily life to interact with their
maily member or people around them. They raise Casandra with affection and
tenderness, because Casandra is their only and last daughter, they weren’t really firm to
her like they did to her old brother. And that affected casandra’s speaking process. Based
on the interview, Casandra’s parents admitted that they weren’t really pay attention to
teach her speaking ability in a proper way . When the writer did the observation, she tried
to took note on the word that Casandra acquired/used/uttered in that day. They are:
14. Ngeng Motorbike She copied the word “Ngeng” from her
brother.
15. Ae Water She said “ae” instead of “aer” . it’s
difficult for her to pronounce letter “R”
16. Diyi Stand up The word “badiri” was too long and
difficult for her to be uttered.
17. Jaa Working When the writer ask her “ Bapa ada di
mana? / where is your father?” She
pointed her finger forward and said “
Bapa jaa” instead of saying “ Bapa ada
pi kerja”
19. Puyang Going Home She has difficulty to pronounce the letter
“L”
24.
Ambut Hair She has difficulty to pronounce the letter
“R”
26. Uang dua Two Thousands rupiah She always said “Uang dua” to asked for
money to her parents. She copied these
words from her brother who always said
“uang dua ribu do ma!” / “ Mom,please
give me two thousand rupiah !”
27.
Gaga Pretty She uttered this word correctly
29. Jangan Don’t She copied this word from her mother
who wanted to forbid her brother doing
something.
After the writer took notes on all of the words that Casandra Uttered, she
interviewed the parents. She asked them about how the language is being acquired. And
Casandra’s mom said that the language is acquired by the daily interaction between the
family members, and their neighbour around their house. In free time Casandra’s parents
usually taught her some new vocabularies. Casandra also learn vocabularies from her 10
years old brother,Andre Ledo. Beside that, She also tried to ask for the meaning of some
words that she couldn’t undestand to peope around here. Her mom also said that, she
often invited Casandra to sang some children song to improve her vocabulary and
speaking skill.
The next question of the writer is what are the challenges or obstacles faced by the
parents when communicating? Mrs. Reny said that raising up the children is not a simple
thing to do. At her first experience having Andre, her first children, she was still
disorganized and didn’t know much about the exact way to be a mom. But as the time
passed by she learned a lot. She knew that children were so easy to imitate others so she
and her husband Agus should be careful to act in front of their children. Their children
are growing so fast so they should prepare and provide the positive and useful provision
for their students to be a better person in the future . From this mini observation , the
writer found out several problems faced by Casandra Ledo when using the language:
