To develop students‟ language skill in reading,
listening, speaking, and writing, the learners must master the vocabulary. The teacher gives the
students list of words that the students should memorize it. In this case the students think
that English is very difficult, not enjoyable and make them bored.
A flash card is part of a set of cards which are
written items to be studied. They are “flashed” (shown quickly) one by one to a
learner to elicit a quick response. It is expected that students‟
achievement in vocabulary will be improved if the students are taught by using
flashcard as the media.
This
research was conducted by applying Classroom Action Research. The researcher
used written tests, diary notes and observation sheets as the instruments of
data collection. The subject of the study was VII-4 student of SMA Prayatna
Medan, which consisted of 30 students.
The
result of research indicated that there was an improvement of students‟ scores
in vocabulary which was taught by using flashcard. It was proved by the data,
which showed that the mean of the students in Test III (83) was higher than in
Test II (64) and also in Test I (40.33).
The
diary notes indicated that the situation of teaching and learning process was
better from the first to the last meeting. The students were interested,
enthusiastic, and active when teaching learning process was running. They paid
full attention and did the assignments seriously.
