Abstract

This study aims to apply the storytelling method assisted by audio-visual media to improve children’s language skills at KB ABA VI Laden Pamekasan. The research was conducted using Classroom Action Research to gain an understanding of how the storytelling method can be implemented to improve the quality of children’s learning and development. The use of audio-visual media was considered relevant to children’s daily experiences because electronic devices have become familiar and attractive to young children. Children tend to spend considerable time watching television or using gadgets such as smartphones and tablets. Therefore, audio-visual media can be utilized as an engaging learning medium. The results of the study indicate that the use of audio-visual media through the storytelling method can improve children’s language skills. Through storytelling activities, children are given opportunities to interact, communicate, express their ideas and thoughts, and use language to obtain information, develop knowledge, and broaden their understanding.
