Early childhood, Language acquisition, Longitudinal case studyAbstract
This study explores the early acquisition of Arabic religious expressions among Indonesian Muslim children using a qualitative longitudinal case study. Data were gathered through naturalistic observations, language records, audio recordings, and parental interviews over an extended period. The findings indicate that children acquire expressions such as bismillah, alhamdulillah, and ya Allah gradually through natural family interactions, progressing from basic exposure to contextual usage. While the study offers a conceptual framework for religious language acquisition in non-Arabic-speaking environments, it acknowledges limitations including retrospective observations and a single-participant design. Future research should utilize prospective data collection and broader samples.
