Language development in children is closely interrelated to diverse-internal and external aspects as human is a complex creature with a novel psychological system. In terms of this close connectivity, stages of the children language development are not always the same in every child. Various factors and causes may extensively and intensively affect the language development in children. This paper discusses about the reciprocal factors contibute to language development in Indonesian children 3-5 years old by categorizing the language development stages in two categories; receptive, and expressive language, which the researcher synthesized from the theory of language development milestones released by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the management of the American National Institutes of Health (NIH). Three purposes were stated in this research. First, it aims to investigate the language development of 3–5 year old Indonesian children. Second aim is to explore various different factors contributed to the language development of those children, and third, to identify the most dominant factors of their language development. Employing triangulation, the data collecting techniques were direct observation, questionnaires, and interview. The researcher analyzed the data by investigating language development condition in children using speech, hearing and communicative development milestones checklist from the courtesy of American Speech–Language–Hearing Association (ASHA) on How Does Your Child Hear and Talk? as the language development predictors utilized. Next, the researcher qualitatively explored the reciprocal factors of the language development in Indonesian children. To encounter more specific findings, the researcher further identified the most dominant factors of language development and statistically ranked each factor conveyed. In relation to it, the research data and results will be both qualitatively presented by either descriptive or narrative explanation and quantitavely illustrated by the charts or diagram. The sampling method used is purposive sampling. Meanwhile the research participants were 20 mother-child pairs in one specific area in Bogor, Indonesia. The implication of the research in the educational practice is presented as well in this paper. To some extent, it can give parents more insightful knowledge about language development phases in their children, and raise more awareness in parents, care givers, or early childhood educators concerning a variety of natural and communicative language learning techniques they may implement at home and in children learning environment.
