This study aimed to analyze the effect of using Picture Word Card media on the expressive language skills of children aged 5-6 years. Expressive language skills are an essential aspect of language development that supports children’s ability to express ideas, feelings, and thoughts verbally. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The independent variable was Picture Word Card media, while the dependent variable was children’s expressive language skills. The population consisted of 28 children, with a sample of 20 children selected through purposive sampling and divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 10 children in each group. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics, including normality and homogeneity tests, N-Gain analysis, and an Independent Samples t-Test. The results showed that the experimental group demonstrated greater improvement in expressive language skills than the control group. The N-Gain results indicated that the improvement in the experimental group was categorized as high, while the control group was categorized as moderate. Furthermore, the Independent Samples t-Test showed a significant difference between the two groups (t = 4.459, p = 0.001 < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of Picture Word Card media on children’s expressive language skills. These findings imply that Picture Word Card media can serve as an effective alternative instructional medium for supporting the development of expressive language skills in early childhood education.
