Method: This study used an experimental design, with pre-test and post- test designs. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analysis. Test the hypothesis using Mc Analysis Test. Nemar. Research Result: This study obtained a p-value of 0,000, which means that this value is less than α = 0,05, so it can be interpreted that the divergent semantic method is effective in improving expressive language skills in fluent aphasia sufferers.
