Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berbahasa Anak Usia Dini melalui Metode Storytelling di TK Al-Hijir

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to enhance early childhood language skills through the implementation of storytelling methods at TK Al-Hijir. The study focuses on the role of storytelling as an interactive learning method to improve children's speaking, listening, and comprehension abilities. The research was conducted in two cycles, each involving planning, action, observation, and reflection. The data was collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and children's responses during storytelling sessions. The results indicated a significant improvement in children's language development, including vocabulary expansion, sentence formation, and confidence in speaking. Storytelling allowed children to actively participate in discussions, retell stories, and express themselves more effectively. Additionally, the method fostered a fun and engaging learning environment, encouraging children to be more motivated in language activities. This research highlights the effectiveness of storytelling as an educational tool to improve language skills in early childhood education, making it a valuable approach for teaching language in TK Al-Hijir.
