Analysis of Early Childhood Language Acquisition Development Methods 5-6 Years Old

Abstract

Early childhood education is a very important foundation in shaping children's physical, social-emotional and language development. Language is a fundamental aspect that greatly influences the overall growth and development of children. Without strong language skills, children cannot perform their daily activities optimally. This study aims to describe and analyze the method of developing language acquisition in children aged 5-6 years at Graha Asri PAUD in Kendari City. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews and direct observation in the classroom. The results showed that language acquisition development methods in early childhood are very important to support the growth of communication and language skills. Graha Asri PAUD applies various methods in language learning, including storytelling, conversations, questions and answers, role-playing, and singing. These five methods have been proven effective in developing children's language skills. Therefore, these methods are considered efficient and relevant to continue to be developed and applied in early childhood education practices.
