Institutional Repository UIN Sunan Kalijaga YogyakartaMELODISASI DONGENG KAK AL MELALUI BEATBOX DALAM MEMPERKAYA BAHASA ANAK USIA DININIM.: 23204031016Fuadul MustofaauthorThis study examines the use of beatbox as a melodization technique in Kak Al’s storytelling to enrich the language of early childhood learners. The study’s objectives are to analyze the techniques and strategies Kak Al employs when integrating beatbox into storytelling to enhance children’s language and to evaluate the role of beatbox in supporting storytelling experiences that promote receptive language development in early childhood. The research is motivated by increasing gadget use and declining verbal interaction, which risk causing speech delays; consequently, there is a need for storytelling strategies that improve attention, comprehension, and phonological awareness. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted. Data were collected through non-participant observation, interviews with the storyteller and teachers, and documentation of performance recordings. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s cycle (data reduction, data display, and verification) and employed triangulation to strengthen validity. Thematic analysis identified patterns of melodization techniques, types of sound effects, and their implications for language learning. Findings indicate that beatbox functions as an auditory scaffolding that increases children’s engagement, facilitates the introduction of new vocabulary, and strengthens narrative memory through sound– story associations. Rhythm techniques, character sound imitation, and repetitive reinforcement were effective in enhancing attention and phonological awareness. The study recommends integrating beatbox into early childhood storytelling practice (PAUD) as an innovative alternative for language enrichment and advocates training for storytellers and development of beatbox-based teaching modules tailored to children’s language development stages.302.231 Media Komunikasi, Media Massa, Media Sosial2026-05-25UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU TARBIYAH DAN KEGURUANThesis
