“Nothing happens by coincidence” said William S. Burroughs. It also supported by some experts that can beat Darwin theory that stated “this world exists by coincidence”. Everything happens for a reason, through some process, and has some purposes. This world is created through some processes and took times, in Al- Quran stated that this world is created in 6 days. So is in language mastery. Human can’t use language directly when they were born in this world. People acquire first language through some process, such as: babbling, one word stage, two words stage, telegraphic, and then the last is fluency and surely it takes several times to through all of the process. In line with that, mastering English as a foreign language also need some process and stages that takes some intervals of time.

When I was in my elementary school, I have learned English since I was in my third grade. At first, I could minimally understand the words and couldn’t use English in my communication yet. All things that I knew were Yes and No, this stage is called preproduction stage. Not long after that, I started to understand and utter word by word and this stage is called Early Production. When I was in my 4th grade I started to develop more complex words and combined words with other words co I could communicate the basic thing I knew, this stage is called Speech Emergence. In this stage I’ve always said something ungrammatical and wrong. This stage happened in a very long period. And the forth stage is Intermediate Fluency, in this stage, a person can form a complete ideas and sentences with less grammatical error, in my point of view I’m still in this stage. And not yet reach the last stage of acquiring language, that is fluency.
