The Effectiveness of Singing Methods in Developing Early Childhood Language Skills

Abstract

Abstract
This research aims to determine the effectiveness of singing methods in developing language skills in early childhood learners. This type of research is field research. The instruments used are observation techniques, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out descriptively on 17 children, with data collection steps, namely descriptive statistical analysis, data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that children's language development through the singing method is carried out through the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. Because most children do not yet read, teachers combine singing methods with storytelling to develop language skills. Test results show that most students develop according to expectations (BSH) with an average score of 29.6. 18% of students are in the early stages of their development (MB), 47% of students are developing according to expectations (BSH) and 35% are developing very well (BSB).
