Abstract

The English proficiency of Indonesian society remains relatively low, ranking 79th out of 113 countries. One contributing factor is that English learning is not introduced early in childhood. This study aims to analyze the communication patterns between teachers and students in the implementation of the Learn to Play method and its effect on improving children's English proficiency at the Children English Club (CEC) be Smart. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The results show that teachers apply three communication patterns: one-way, two-way, and multi-way. Among these, the two-way communication pattern is the most frequently used and considered the most effective, as it allows intensive reciprocal interaction supported by an interpersonal communication approach. Furthermore, the implementation of the Learn to Play method successfully improves children's English proficiency significantly. This method presents learning in the form of enjoyable games, making children more motivated, less pressured, and able to grasp the material more quickly. Therefore, the study concludes that the combination of two-way communication and the Learn to Play method effectively supports the enhancement of English proficiency in early childhood
