Abstract


This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the milieu teaching approach as an intervention to improve receptive and expressive language skills in early childhood experiencing language delays. The research design used a single-case experimental design. The subject of this study was a boy aged 4 years and 11 months who had a delay in language development. Data were collected through various assessments (interviews, observations, and formal psychological tests). The results showed that there were significant changes in expressive and receptive language skills after being given milieu teaching through A-B-A analysis. This means that milieu teaching is effective in improving the language skills of early childhood experiencing language delays. The practical implication is the importance of the role of parents in providing appropriate and consistent stimuli to children, as well as the importance of awareness of the influence of the environment on learning.
