Abstract

The input hypothesis is a fundamental concept in language learning, stating that the teaching materials used must be above students’ current linguistic competence during the learning process. This shows the importance of comprehending the Balinese language competence of first-grade elementary school students as a reference for learning. Therefore, this study aimed to map out the competence of first-grade elementary school students as a reference for selecting and grading Balinese language learning intake at the higher grades and educational levels. The study procedures were carried out by collecting data in a semi-naturalistic setting over 2 months from first-grade students at Elementary School 3 Paksebali, Klungkung, and Elementary School 1 Alasangker, Buleleng. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive-qualitative analysis. The results showed Balinese language repertoire of first-grade students had idiosyncrasies as distinguishing features. These idiosyncrasies were found in phonological, lexical/semantic, morphological, and syntactic aspects as references. Based on the results obtained, language learning with the input hypothesis could be applied critically and consistently.
