Efektivitas Media Gambar dan Kata-kata dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris pada Siswa Kelas 6 SD
Abstract: Many researches
revealed that picture method was useful to increase children’s ability to
recognize concrete objects. In order to bridge children's difficulty in
learning English as a foreign language, this research was aimed to increase
children’s recognize on some new English words. Learning English based on
conventional method (using many words only) was compared experimentally with
picture method. Seventy students grade sixth from 4 elementary schools
participated in this study. Design of this experimental study was the pretest -
post test. The intervention was conducted once during 75 minutes i.e. 50
minutes for exercising English words using pictures (for the picture group) and
words (for the word group); 10 minutes for conducting a quiz; and 15 minutes
for verifying the exam questions. It was hypothesized that the picture method
was much better to increase children’s ability to recognize some new English
words than the conventional method. This research revealed that children’s
ability on the picture method class increased 2.5 times from the pre test
compared to children in word method class (increased only 1.7 times from the
pre test) and children in the control group (increased only 1.06 times from the
pre test and non significant). It was recommended that teacher should use
pictures to help children to understand English new vocabularies. This
recommendation could also be enlarged with comic and animated film usages.
