THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STORYTELLING METHODS IN INCREASING INDONESIAN LANGUAGE VOCABULARY IN CHILDREN AGED 3-4 YEARS AT AHMAD DAHLAN KINDERGARTEN PANDEAN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the storytelling method in improving Indonesian vocabulary in children aged 3–4 years at TK Ahmad Dahlan Pandean. It also identifies the factors that influence the success of the storytelling method and explores children's responses to its implementation. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the storytelling method is effective in increasing Indonesian vocabulary in children aged 3–4 years. This is evident from the increase in the number of vocabulary words the children can pronounce after being taught using the storytelling method. The success of this method is influenced by several factors, including the selection of age-appropriate stories, the use of engaging supporting media, the teacher's storytelling skills, and a pleasant learning environment. In addition, children showed positive responses to the storytelling method, such as high enthusiasm, increased activeness in communication, and a willingness to imitate and use new vocabulary they heard.
