Introduction: Nowadays, our education system faces tangible multiplicity and issues, including the inadequacy of communication skills. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of compound learning and self-directed methodology on language learning and the development of communication skills of bilingual students of pre-schools.

Of the 50 pre-school and kindergartens, Golbarg kindergarten, which has the most bilingual students, was selected. In this way, 36 bilingual learners were selected and randomly divided into three groups of 12 people. Then, on each group the traditional, compound and self-directed method was performed randomly. The tool used included researcher-made language learning and communication skills. The validity of the questionnaires was assessed by professors of speech therapists and experts. After completing the necessary amendments on questionnaires, the questionnaires were approved. The reliability of the questionnaires was 0.81 and 0.83 using Alpha-Cronbach's coefficient. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (covariance analysis (repeated measure)) using SPSS statistical software.
