of good and services, b interpersonal goal concerns with socializing, and c only for the sake of talking itself. The three goals are important element in communication or in talking. Related to the statements above in order to unfold type of talks, in this part I discuss types of talks, such as motherese, foreigners’ talk, main talks and teachers’ scaffolding talk.

2.5.1 Mothers’ TalksMotherese

Mothers’ talk is a simple talk used by mothers, fathers, baby sisters, etc. It is also called motherese. Young learners who are learning to talk use shorter utterances, simple grammar, and clearer pronunciation. While to talk to young learners for difficult words, they use a lot of repetition. The more repetition they get the easier they acquire the target language they want to achieve. The example of mother’s talks or motherese is repetition, prompting, prodding and expansions. In line with the statements above, Jack Richards 1985: 34 states that caretakers’ speech, motherese or mother’s talks are easier for children to understand, and many people believe that it helps children to learn the language. Teachers can adopt the theory above to teach young learners. By adopting the theory above in teaching learning process, it will make the students much easier to achieve the target language than if the teachers do not adopt it. In other words, motheresemothers’ talks are also employed in the scaffolding talks. The functions, such as to help, mediate, assist and provide the words step by step and organize those steps in a linear fashion according to social acceptable structure or to repeat on and on towards the desired expressions. Based on the statements above, I can say that it will be easy for the students to follow the lesson and to understandwell. Those are also found in the scaffolding talks in this study.

2.5.2 Foreigners’ Talk

To elaborate the meaning of the foreigners’ talk, the following is the concept or foreigners talk. Foreigners talk is the type of speech, which is used by native speakers of a language when they speak to foreigners who are not proficient in the language. They usually speak more slowly and loudly than normal speech. They use simple grammar and vocabulary and topics are sometimes repeated, Jack Richards 1985:108. In line with foreigners’ talk above, Ellis 1985: 146 says that foreigners’ talks normally take place in one to one interaction. Where there are a lo of feedback from the students. It needs the ability in using English from the beginning until the end of conversation with a lot of feedback between the teachers and the students. The class will be active. The communication in the classroom runs well without any difficulties. If the condition above is applied in the English class for non-native English teacher and students, they will have difficulties in doing it. Because of the different cultural background, they are incapable to converse all the time in English. It is one of the obstacles for the teachers and learners to learn a foreign language. Foreigners’ talk is important for my study as it is helpful for the foreigners to reach the desired expressions. Native speaker of language uses foreigners’ talks when they speak to foreigners. They tend to speak to the foreigners slowly and clearly in order that the foreigners follow the desired expressions well. In accordance with teaching learning process, English teacher can adopt the theories above in order that the students reach the desired expressions without any difficulties. Because of their English teachers are helpful and patient to help their students, the way to achieve the target language is easy. It means that the teachers are able to scaffold the main talks well to their student so they are able to reach the goal expected without any difficulties.
