The technique of testing the validity of quantitative data with construct validity, while the qualitative validity test used technical triangulation and source triangulation. The quantitative data analysis technique uses comparative descriptive, while the qualitative data analysis technique uses the interactive model analysis by Miles and Huberman. The results of this study indicate an increase in each cycle. The percentage of completeness of the listening skill in the first cycle was obtained 55,9% then in the second cycle it increased to 82,3%. This increase occurs in indicators of retelling information with appropriate order, applying rules in performing activities, and keeping the focus on certain activities. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the listening skill of children aged 5-6 year at TK Pertiwi Lebak Wonogiri in the academic year of 2019/2020 can be improved through the application of the whole brain teaching method.Keywords : Listening skill, children aged 5-6 years old, whole brain teaching method]]>
