INTRODUCTION
Early childhood education is education that is held to develop personal, knowledge,
and skills that underlie basic education and develop themselves as a whole in accordance with
the principle of education as early as possible and the source of life. Aspects developed in
early childhood education are aspects of behavior with habituation including social, emotional,
independence, moral and religious values, and the development of basic abilities, which
include language development, cognitive, art, and motoric physical. Early age is the golden
age, therefore education at this time is a very fundamental education and is very decisive for
future child development. If children get a good stimulus, then all aspects of children's
development will develop optimally. Therefore early childhood education must be able to
stimulate all aspects of a child's development both behavioral, linguistic, cognitive, artistic and
motoric.
Language acquisition in early childhood includes 2 stages, first language acquisition
and second language acquisition (foreign language). First language acquisition is a language
that is acquired and understood by children in life and communicating in their environment.
The first language is often also called mother tongue, because the child first interacts and
learns with the mother. Second / foreign language is the child's language obtained after the
first language. The second language of Indonesian children is generally Indonesian and foreign
languages. Indonesian language acquisition is obtained by children in their living environment

and formal education. Whereas foreign language acquisition is generally obtained through
informal and formal education
The development of vocabulary languages in early childhood is greatly increasing
along with the increasing development of science and technology. At this time electronic
media can be used as a learning media to develop the acquisition of vocabulary in children
through video that feature cartoon shows, games, stories, films that are not only oriented
towards the development of education but also related to children's health. The video content
of English and health education is very beneficial for children and parents. Besides being able
to raise vocabulary in children indirectly, it can make it easier for parents and educators to
deliver health education to children on the importance of oral and dental health through the
video entitled “how to brush their teeth properly”.
Basic knowledge and awareness of early health is very important to know for
elementary school-aged children who generally need regular health care and health
supervision while being in school. School-age children are very often negligent in maintaining
their health, especially their oral and dental health. This happen as the cause of unhealthy
snacking and lack of attention to maintaining their health.
In Pradnyandari I kindergarten, the students are expected to develop according to the
developmental stage but to improve the acquisition of English language skills most have not
used the appropriate technique, it seems the teacher is still using conventional methods namely
by giving examples orally and students are asked to repeat story that has been delivered. This is
due to the lack of use of the media as a source of learning for children. Based on the preliminary
study also, there was a big problem of dental and oral health. The snacking habit as the cause of
the health problem on student. More than 52% students eat candy and chocolate after meals. It
Based on the limitation of the problem above, the formulation of the problem in this research is
how to improve student‟s vocabulary mastery through early health education video at
Pradnyandari I Kindergarten
ENGLISH VOCABULARY
Humans in social certainly will not regardless of verbal or non verbal language because
through human language human needs will be achieved or fulfilled easily. A scientist said that
your language is the limit from your world, the point is when people master many languages
then with free he will go well in digging science as well as being businessman. Rusefrinaria in
(Huda et al 2017) said that period the most speech and language development intensive in
humans lies in the age early, precisely in the three years of his life, namely a period in which the
human brain develop in the process of achieving maturity. Then based on the description above

it can be concluded that language is very important foundation for stepping out, hanging out /
socializing, digging knowledge and make it easier to relay success in all fields, by therefore
language is very important to learn starting from childhood so later it will be easier to dig
information especially in English.
