Language skills are an important aspect of early childhood development that plays a role in communication and learning. This study aims to analyze the application of the Pesa Chain method in improving early childhood language skills in RA Nurul Ichsan Kuta, Belik District, Pemalang Regency. The Chain Pesa Method is a learning technique that involves delivering messages in a chain from one child to another, thus practicing listening, speaking, and language comprehension skills in an interactive and fun way. This research uses a qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation methods. The subject of the study is early childhood at RA Nurul Ichsan. The results of the study show that the application of the Pesa Chain method has a positive impact on the development of children's language skills, especially in enriching vocabulary, improving sentence structure, and fostering courage in speaking. In addition, this method also strengthens children's social interaction, memory, and concentration in understanding and conveying information. Teachers also feel the benefits in creating a more engaging and participatory learning atmosphere. Thus, the Chain Pesa method is recommended as an effective learning strategy in the development of early childhood language skillsReferences
