Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of storytelling methods through media in developing early childhood language skills at Darul Ulum Tanjung Heran Islamic Kindergarten, Pugung District, Tanggamus Regency. The storytelling method is one of the effective learning approaches in improving children's language skills, especially in terms of vocabulary, understanding, and the ability to convey ideas verbally. This study uses a qualitative approach with a type of classroom action research (CAR) consisting of two cycles. Each cycle involves the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the application of storytelling methods through media (such as hand puppets, series of pictures, and other visual aids) can increase children's interest in communicating, expand vocabulary, and improve their ability to construct sentences verbally. Thus, the storytelling method through media can be used as an alternative learning strategy that is fun and effective in developing early childhood language
