STUDENT PERCEPTION OF TEACHING ENGLISH VOCABULARY TO YOUNG LEARNERS USING FLASHCARDS

Abstract

This study aims to observe how fourth-grade elementary school students perceive using flashcards as a learning method for vocabulary acquisition. This study employs a qualitative research method. It will provide a detailed explanation of young learners, flashcards as a medium, and vocabulary, and draw conclusions based on the research conducted. The participants involved in this study were six people, namely five fourth-grade students and one English teacher. This study used data collection methods involving observation and interviews. The study results show that students prefer the flashcard learning method to traditional methods, such as writing what the teacher writes on the blackboard in their notebooks. In addition, students are also more enthusiastic about learning vocabulary using flashcards because of their attractive and simple design.
