ABSTRACT
This final project is entitled The Use of Colored Pictures to Teach Noun
Vocabulary to Elementary Students: An Action Research (The Case of Third Year
Students of SD Sukorejo 02 Semarang Year 2006/ 2007). In the State Elementary School,
the children learn English starting from grade four, but in my research I taught third grade
of Elementary School students. The English learning was regarded as the introductory to
the students. It is because English is very new subject to them. In my research, I used
colored pictures as the media for the teaching and learning process. Hence, the goal of
this research is to know how colored pictures help the students to enrich many noun
vocabularies.
The subjects of the study were the third students of SD N Sukorejo 02 Semarang.
There were 32 students in the class. In collecting the primary data, I carried out five
activities of teaching and learning process and some tests. All of the test items were
tested with the help of pictures. All of the tests were in the form of oral test. In the pre
test, I asked the students to point the objects that I said by using colored pictures. The
second, third and fourth cycle were the teaching and learning process and also the
assessment tests. The procedures of assessment tests were in form of oral test too.
The results of the study showed that the mastery of vocabulary improved after
having the activities by using colored pictures. The average achievement of the students
pre test was 46 %, while it was 80,1 % in the first cycle, 89 % in the second cycle, 80,86
% in the third cycle and 80,84 % in the fourth cycle, and it was the post test. Thee main
factors that affected this improvement were the students interest of the pictures given
and the relevancy between vocabulary with the nouns that they might be familiar with.
Based on the research results, it was found out that teaching English noun
vocabulary to children by using colored pictures was helpful for the children in learning
foreign language, particularly English. It was proved from the significant improvement in
their pre test and post test
According to the research results, the paedogical implication is that the English
learning to the third grade of Elementary School students is regarded as the introductory
for them. It is because English subject is taught starting from grade four in the State
Elementary School.
