Abstract

Receptive language ability development is a crucial foundation in early childhood education that requires special attention. This study explores the potential of music and singing as educational instruments to enhance children's linguistic skills. The primary objective of the study is to analyze the contribution of singing methods in optimizing children's ability to comprehend and respond to verbal information.The research methodology employs a Classroom Action Research approach with a systematic design encompassing planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The study was conducted on a group of children aged 5-6 years, utilizing data collection techniques through observation, documentation, and language ability development measurement. Research findings demonstrate significant progress in children's receptive language capabilities. During the pre-intervention phase, children's language capacity was at a basic level with an achievement percentage of 32.81%. After gradual implementation of the singing method, a capability enhancement was observed. The first cycle recorded an increase to 55.21%, and in the second cycle, it reached 82.30% with a very good developmental qualification. The research findings underscore the effectiveness of singing as an innovative educational method. This approach is not merely entertainment but creates a conducive learning environment for linguistic capability stimulation. Music and singing have proven capable of bridging children's language comprehension process through enjoyable and meaningful experiences.
