Early childhood language development is an important foundation for children's cognitive, social, and academic growth. One of the key indicators of language development is vocabulary mastery. Children with a richer vocabulary tend to communicate more effectively and understand their environment better. This study aims to examine the influence of language learning through children's songs on early childhood vocabulary development. The study employed a literature review method by analyzing various national and international journal articles related to language learning, children's songs, and vocabulary acquisition in early childhood education. The findings indicate that children's songs significantly contribute to vocabulary development through repetition, rhythm, melody, and enjoyable learning experiences. Songs help children remember new words more easily, improve pronunciation, stimulate listening skills, and increase learning motivation. Furthermore, song-based learning creates a positive classroom atmosphere that encourages active participation and social interaction among children. The integration of movement, gestures, and meaningful lyrics enhances children's understanding of word meanings and their ability to use new vocabulary in daily communication. Therefore, children's songs can be considered an effective and developmentally appropriate instructional medium to support vocabulary acquisition in early childhood education settings.Downloads
