Abstrak
Key Words techniques introducing new vocabulary Kindergarten. Critical period hypothesis conveys an idea that the process of foreign language acquisition will more likely be completed if it is begun in childhood.

In accordance to that hypothesis English education which starts to be introduced since kindergarten level hold important role to the success of foreign language acquisition of Indonesian children. Moreover based on the critical period hypothesis as well vocabulary as the core component of all language will be optimally absorbed by the learners if it is introduced earlier. Meanwhile the phenomenon of English teaching and learning in kindergarten which is potentially important to foreign language acquisition of Indonesian children is not supported by the sufficient attention from Indonesian Ministry of Education. It is proven from the lack of policy for English teaching and learning in kindergarten level given.
