Elva: -Make clear the slides-How do you carry it out in language teaching?2. Mike-Make clear the slides-For the 2nd speaker should explain the ten factors of optimum age.3.Ahmarianti-For 2nd topic, there is not contribution applied linguistics in teaching4.

ElvaHow do you carry it out in language teaching?Answer: - parent roles+ My point is how do you carry out in language teaching.Adi: it is about program, not method.We are not multilingual country, so it is very difficult to apply about this.Lafziatul: We are multilingual speaker but Indonesia people can not use the languages well.

Optimum age: capacity of learning, young learners and adult learners.ELTS is used for adult learners, not young learnersThe result of learning can be seen from the process
