The analysis result by using statistic independent sample t-test shows score t=3.50 and p=0.001 that less than p=0.05, that means hypothesis nol (Ho) is rejected and hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted, that means there are difference of communication competence between bilingual and monolingual early adolescent. As addition result, there is no difference of communication competence based on age and gender, and there is difference of communication competence between bilingual and monolingual early adolescent based on component and behavior indicator. 071301028
