Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the role-playing method on the oral language skills of early childhood students in Group B of TK Islam An-Manhal NW Dasan Menak. The study employed a quantitative approach with a Pre-Experimental Design using a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample consisted of 18 children. Data were collected using a validated observation sheet of children's oral language skills. Data analysis included normality testing, homogeneity testing, and hypothesis testing using the Paired Sample t-Test with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed that the mean pretest score was 43.44, while the mean posttest score was 73.94, indicating an improvement of 30.50 points after the implementation of the role-playing method. The Paired Sample t-Test produced a t-value of -20.697 with a significance value of Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.001. Therefore, H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. The findings indicate a significant effect of the role-playing method on children's oral language skills. Role-playing activities provided opportunities for children to speak, engage in dialogue, answer questions, express opinions, use vocabulary, and interact with peers in an enjoyable learning atmosphere.
