LITERATURE REVIEW
Early childhood is also defined as a group of children who are in a unique process of growth and development.They have a special pattern of growth and development according to their level of growth and development.
According to Law number 20 of 2003 concerning the national education system in Chapter 1 Article 1, point 14, early childhood education is a coaching effort that is given to children from birth to the age of 6 years which is carried out through providing educational stimulation to help physical and spiritual growth and development so that children are ready to enter further education.Language development is one aspect of development that is very important to implement in kindergarten for children's growth and development because every child's daily activities will use language.Language is divided into four forms, namely listening, speaking, reading and writing.

METHODOLOGY
The approach used in this research is a qualitative descriptive approach, namely a research approach that attempts to describe a symptom, event, or incident that is happening now, where the researcher photographs the events and events that occur as the focus of his attention and then describes them as they are.Qualitative descriptive research aims to objectively describe the conditions at the research site using words and sentences, regarding the language development of children in class B at Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten, Raja Ampat Regency using animation media.This research describes the results of processing and analyzing data obtained after conducting research.The data obtained was obtained through several documentation techniques as a supporting method to complete the data the author obtained when conducting observations and interviews.This research was conducted at the Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten Kindergarten, Raja Ampat Regency September 10, 2023 -November 10, 2023.The activity of implementing animation media in improving children's language at the Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten Kindergarten Raja Ampat Regency turned out to produce quite good language development.
This research was conducted starting from observations made by the author at the Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten, Raja Ampat Regency to observe the language development of students at the Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten, Raja Ampat Regency.Based on the results of research conducted at the Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten, Raja Ampat Regency, it can be explained that the use of animation media in improving children's language is as follows: Based on the results of research on children's language development in the Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten, Raja Ampat Regency, the results of all of them were 100% and the number of students was 17 people, divided into 4 developments, namely BB (Not Developed) as much as 25% with the number of students as many as 5 people.Meanwhile, the development of MB (Starting to Develop) was 45% with a total of 9 students.Meanwhile, the development of BSH (Developing According to Expectations) was 30% with a total of 6 students.And finally, the development of BSB (Very Well Developed) was 0% with none.
The results of observations, interviews and document analysis carried out by researchers in the process of improving language through animation media can be seen by the data analysis techniques and data presentation that researchers present in the form of Venn diagram images.In qualitative research, there are five approaches according to John W Creswell, namely narrative studies, phenomenological studies, grounded theory studies, ethnographic studies, and case studies.In this research, the researcher used a phenomenological study, and the researcher used to collect the following data:

Data Reduction
Data reduction is the process of choosing focus, simplifying and informing data that appears in field writing.In this circle, codes are formed by grouping data into smaller categories.I show the coding in this Venn diagram by creating categories (abbreviations and capital letters) which make it easier for readers to understand the essence of this thesis.The following is the data reduction coding/coding, namely: The author uses data reduction coding as follows: analyzing the syllabus (MS), determining the theme (MT), preparing the media (MM), arranging the child's sitting position (MPDA), the teacher providing material (GMM), the child paying attention to the teacher's explanation (AMPG), providing activities that stimulate children's abilities (MKMKA), provide evaluations (ME), teachers conduct questions and answers with children (GMTJPA).

Data Display
Data display is the process of displaying data simply in the form of words, narrative sentences and tables.The author's data display results are displayed in a Venn diagram as follows: : Teacher Explains Activities for the Next Day Based on the results of observation analysis, interviews and document analysis.The author uses data display coding as follows: determining the theme (MT), preparing media (MM), focusing attention (MP), teacher providing material (GMM), providing activities that stimulate children's abilities (MKMKA), and providing evaluation (ME).

Drawing Conclusion
The data that has been patterned is then focused and arranged systematically in narrative form.Then through induction, the data is concluded so that the meaning of the data can be found in the form of interpretation and argumentation.Conclusions were also verified during the research.If the conclusions drawn are still lacking, they will be added.Conclusions are displayed by the researcher in the form of a Venn diagram as follows: The following is an image of the Venn diagram as a whole which is supported by data from interviews, observations and analysis documents.To produce a conclusion about the activity of watching animated media (audio visual) in improving the language of children aged 5-6 years in PAUD Elim Sawinggrai, Raja Regency.: Teacher Explains Activities for the Next Day Based on the results of observation analysis, interviews and documentary analysis carried out by researchers on the process of implementing animation media in improving the language of children aged 5-6 years in kindergarten at Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten, Raja Regency.Researchers can conclude as follows: determining the theme (MT), preparing media (MM), focusing attention (MP), the teacher providing material (GMM), providing activities that stimulate children's abilities (MKMKA), and providing evaluation (ME).
Based on the results of observations, interviews and the author's documentation above, it can be concluded that teachers have implemented animation media to improve the language of early childhood.Through interaction with children before carrying out the activity of watching animation, children will be orderly in carrying out these activities.
The Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten Kindergarten, Raja Ampat Regency does not only teach children to color, write, read, play with blocks and play puzzles, but teachers make variations in teaching methods so that children don't get bored, so they include animation media.It can be explained that early childhood language development is marked by the child's ability to retell the contents of stories they have seen, using new sentences or words they learned when watching the animation.Apart from that, the author can see the enthusiasm of children in interacting with friends and teachers and the enthusiasm of children in watching animations that have been played previously.However, it can be seen that some children still don't dare to retell the contents of the animated story.
But most children understand what is taught and directed by their teacher.It can be seen from the child's difficulty in carrying out the activity of telling stories back to the teacher and friends.From the discussion above, this is how early childhood language development looks like through animation media in class B, Kindergarten, Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten, Raja Ampat Regency.
Therefore, it can be concluded that learning using animation media has a quite good influence on early childhood language development so that children become more enthusiastic in interacting with teachers and their friends.Based on the results of the interview, in the learning process, the first thing to prepare is the teacher preparing the media, the teacher focusing attention, the teacher providing activities that stimulate the child's abilities, and the teacher providing evaluation.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of the previous analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that the application of animation media in early childhood language development in Elim Sawinggrai Kindergarten, Regency.Raja Ampat is already quite good.This can be shown by paying attention to the steps and achievement indicators that are by early childhood language development, namely: choosing the theme to be achieved, the teacher preparing the media, the teacher focusing attention, the teacher providing activities that stimulate the child's abilities., the teacher provides an evaluation.Judging by the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of children in watching animation media, not all children have the same enthusiasm and interest, but most of them can listen and retell the contents of the stories they have seen.
This can be seen in 5 students or 25% of children falling into the underdeveloped category, 9 students or 45% of children who fall into the beginning to develop category, 6 students or 30% of children who fall into the developing category as expected, and none which falls into the very well developed category.
