COLOR PICTURES FOR A BETTER VOCABULARY SIZE

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to ascertain how color pictures help students become more proficient in vocabulary and to look at how students see the employment of color pictures. It was held in a state-run middle school in Indonesia, utilizing an experimental research design. The sample comprised 49 students, including one Year 7 experimental class and one Year 7 control class. Pre- and post-test data were gathered to examine the validity of the students' responses, and questionnaires were used to confirm the research findings and gathered the opinions of the students. Data analysis was performed using "SPSS 25" for statistical tests and the Likert scale for questionnaire responses. Following the independent test, the pre- and post-test results showed a significant level (2-tailed) of.000 < 0.05, suggesting that the alternative hypothesis (Ho) was disproved and (Ha) was accepted. The findings demonstrated that students receiving instruction through color visuals exhibited a substantial improvement in vocabulary mastery. Furthermore, the questionnaire results revealed that students perceived the use of color graphics as an effective tool for capturing their attention during the learning process and facilitating their understanding and retention of new vocabulary, thereby enhancing their overall vocabulary acquisition.
