Abstract

One way for children to be successful in learning is because of parental factors. The involvement of parents in children's learning is significant. The parents’ role in improving learning is essential so this research aims to discuss the important role of parents in expanding children's English vocabulary in Kelambir V Kebun Village, at Ummul Habibah Kindergarten because there are still many parents who lack a role in improving children's English skills, especially increasing English vocabulary to improve children's language skills. Language skills are a crucial aspect of children's language development and impact children's communication abilities. This study explores the various ways parents to be involved in expanding children's English vocabulary. This research included a review of literature investigating the parents’ role in learning especially children's vocabulary development. The research method used is qualitative. The research results show that parents still have little role in enriching children's vocabulary. This research underscores the importance of creating an environment that supports language learning and adopting a positive approach. This research implies that parents have a central role in helping children acquire strong English language competence. By actively involving themselves in the language learning process, parents can make a significant contribution to the growth of their children's English vocabulary. However, there are still many parents who do not have much effort and methods to increase their children's English vocabulary so many children have very little vocabulary.
