Language learning in early childhood is essential in building their communication skills. One of the effective methods to improve children's vocabulary is through singing activities. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of the singing method in improving early childhood Indonesian vocabulary at RA Arrohman Jatisari Kedungreja Cilacap. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method with two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 15 children aged 4-5 years. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and vocabulary development tests. The results of the study show that the application of the singing method can increase the number of vocabulary understood and used by children in daily communication. In the first cycle, the increase in children's vocabulary reached 60%, while in the second cycle it increased to 85%. Thus, the singing method has proven to be effective in improving early childhood vocabulary mastery.Downloads
