- Abstract
The following paper is a synthesized paper on the topics of Early (emergent bilinguals) literacy, with an overview of how early literacy is applied in the North American countries. Having to study the body of knowledge in early literacy topics, this paper also attempts to explore some possible practices in the EFL context of Asia, particularly the Indonesian setting. The authors of the study also shared concerns regarding the practices of Teaching English for Young Learners TEYL) in Indonesia that seem to exclude the notion of early (emergent bilinguals) literacy. Additionally, thinking about TEYL in Indonesia should also repute the study of children’s literature as it presents potentials for cognitive and affective developments. Packed with sociocultural perspectives in early literacy, this paper later argues that foregrounding the beliefs of TEYL into early literacy for kids would bring about significant changes in the students’ output. It is highly recommended that the study of children’s literature be included in the curriculum and literacy instructions for primary and secondary schools as it offers abundant opportunities for early literacy in Indonesia.
