ABSTRACT
Wulanjani, Arum Nisma. 2009. The Effect of Using Multi Media VCD as
Media for Teaching Vocabulary to Kindergarten Students (The Case Study
of Panti Puruhita Kindergarten Krapyak Indah Semarang in the Academic
Year of 2008/ 2009). Final Project. English Department. S1 Degree of
Department. Advisor: I. Dra. C. Murni Wahyanti, M. A , II. Dr. Dwi
Anggani L. B, M. Pd.
Key words: research, teaching, media.
This final project is an action research. In this study I limit the discussion
by stating the problem: To what extent does the use of Multi Media VCD as
media affect the vocabulary teaching and learning process in Panti Puruhita
Kindergarten Krapyak Indah Semarang?
The aims of the action research are to find out whether the use of Multi Media
VCD can improve the students mastery of vocabulary, to find out whether Multi
Media VCD can be used as media in teaching vocabulary at Panti Puruhita
Kindergarten Krapyak Indah Semarang, and to find out whether Multi Media
VCD can improve the students interests and motivation in learning vocabulary. It
is expected that the result of the study can give contribution to the teacher at Panti
Puruhita Kindergarten Krapyak Indah Semarang in enriching the teachers
strategy in teaching vocabulary. Moreover, this study may give an experience to
the students in learning vocabulary using Multi Media VCD. And furthermore,
this study is hoped will be valuable and useful for English teachers in encircling
their technique in teaching vocabulary to kindergarten students.
There were four steps in conducting this action research: planning, action,
monitoring, and reflecting. In obtaining data, I carried out two cycles. The first
cycle, there were three activities: giving a pre-test, teaching process, and giving
cycle I test. In the second cycle, there were also three activities: teaching process,
giving cycle II test, and giving a post-test and questionnaire. Finally, the last
activities were doing post-test and questionnaire.
According to data analysis, it can be found that there is an improvement in
the result of the students in each test. It is shown by the average result of the
students achievement from the first test into the last test. The average of the
students result was 42.30% (pre-test), 74.23% (cycle I test), 80.38% (cycle II
test), and 81.15% (post-test). The main factor affecting the improvement was the
students interests of using Multi Media VCD. It can be found from the
questionnaire result. The items of number 1 and 3 are about the students interests
and motivation in learning vocabulary using Multi Media VCD. The mean of
each item is 2.9 and 2.9. Based on the criterion, it can be conclude that the
students interests and motivation was high.
Referring to my experience in conducting the action research, I offer
several suggestions. First, I suggest Multi Media VCD can be used frequently to
teach vocabulary to kindergarten students. Second, hopefully there would be
further studies on teaching vocabulary using other VCD applied other technique.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1
1.1 Background of the Study
It is very important to master English as an international language. To gain
a good result of English learning, people should take a good and effective ways
because learning English as a foreign language is a complex task. Learning
English as a foreign language is a difficult thing to do for most of the Indonesian
students. It also takes a lot of time since English as a foreign language for them.
The same condition also happens to very young learners who are the
beginners in learning English. Vanessa Reilly & Sheila M. Ward ( 2003: 3 ) states
that very young learners refer to children who have not yet started compulsory
schooling and have not yet started to read. It means that it is really a new thing for
them in learning English. It also means that the teacher needs more effort to teach
them English. As young learners who enjoy having fun, and enjoy things with
happy feeling, the students need more relaxing learning atmosphere, so they could
join the English classes comfortably, and with high enthusiasm. It becomes the
teachers tasks to make the situation comes true. The teacher needs some things to
be involved in the English classes.
The writer observed that the students of Panti Puruhita Kindergarten
Krapyak Indah Semarang, still have difficulties in memorizing new vocabularies.
It could be seen in the daily teaching and learning process. The students seemed to
forget the vocabulary which had been taught easily. Probably this happen because
of the weakness of the students memory, the technique of teaching used by the
teacher or it may be because of the lack of the instructional media of learning.
The writer aware that the students of the kindergarten are the students who
learn a new language during the critical period, so they should be understood it
easier and better than other who are not exposed that language during the
childhood. In addition, Rudolph and Cohen (1984: 16) state that early childhood
years are very important for learning in the basic. Although the children at the
kindergarten are in the critical period, the fact shows that the students still have
difficulties in learning new language.
In teaching vocabulary to the kindergarten students, the teacher should be
more creative and able to keep the students away from getting bored. In order to
keep the students away from getting bored in learning vocabulary, the teacher
should use an appropriate instructional media. This media should gain the
students interest in learning new vocabulary. Media such as cartoon, VCD, tape
recorder, overhead projector, radio, television, computer, and etc. play important
role in teaching vocabulary. They are very useful for the teacher to achieve the
instructional goals and the objectives of learning, besides as a tool to command
students in teaching learning process.
Webster states that teaching aids are many varieties of devices and
materials, which rely on the sense of sight to inform (1972: 664). Without
technique and teaching aids which are appropriate to the students level, the
students may get bored and not interested in following the lesson and the result
will not be satisfactory.
In this study the writer wants to examine a technique which is hoped can
be a good method for teaching vocabulary to kindergarten students. Here, the
writer will try to present VCD as a media in teaching English to kindergrten
students. Teaching English using VCD can be considered as one of the
appropriate method. The use of VCD as media can be a choice for the teacher in
teaching vocabulary in which the students are given a chance to study vocabulary
in different way which is hoped that they will be motivated in learning
vocabulary.
For the reasons above, the writer wants to try to use Multi Media VCD
as media for teaching vocabulary to the kindergarten students. The writer hopes
that it will be an effective and interesting media in teaching vocabulary to the
students, so that they can enjoy and interested in learning vocabulary.
4) The writer also wants to know how good the students can master vocabulary
through watching Multi Media VCD.
1) For the students, teaching vocabulary using Multi Media VCD can give the
students an experience in learning vocabulary and affect their interests toward
English lesson.
2) For the teacher, it can give contributions in enriching the teachers strategy in
teaching vocabulary to the students.
3) Furthermore, the writer hopes that the result of the research will be valuable
and useful for English teachers in encircling their technique in teaching
vocabulary to kindergarten students.
students, the general concept of media, Multi Media VCD as one of media in
teaching vocabulary to kindergarten students, and the action research.
Chapter III presents method of investigation that includes research design,
subject of the study, types of data, role of the researcher, instruments of the study,
procedures of collecting data, and procedures of analyzing data.
Chapter IV presents the result of the study that includes general
description, results, and discussion.
Chapter V presents conclusion and suggestion.
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2
2.1 The Child As A Learner
In teaching English to children, we need to understand them. It means that we
need to understand who they are, they are very young learner who learn English in
very early age (Suyanto, 2007: 14)
Children who learn on pre-to-early teens often catch up very quickly with
children who learn from an earlier age. The experience and environment at school
and how language is taught and practiced play a vital role in language acquisition,
regardless of how young or old the child is. However, every child has different
developmental stage. According to Scott and Ytreberg ( 1993: 1 ) there is a big
difference between what children of five can do and what children of ten can do. It
proves that we can not judge that every child has the same developmental stage based
on their age. Some children develop early, some later. Some children develop
gradually, others in leaps and bounds. So, it is possible to point out certain
characteristics of young children which the teacher should be aware of and take into
account in the teaching process.
Each student has a chance to be a successful foreign language learner. It is the
teachers task to help them to be successful in learning foreign language. The teacher
may try to evaluate the techniques children uses, and introduce them to different ones
if they do not work.

From the table above, we can decide how to teach young learners based on their
characteristics. Their characteristics can be as an consideration for the teacher on
choosing an appropriate way in teaching them.
Children are also unique, love to talk, physical, eager learners and have
different

maturity.
10
From the definition above, the writer can conclude that young learners have
unique and colorful characteristics. It can be used as a consideration for the teacher
on choosing a way or event media for teaching to children.
system, grammar, and culture. Students who want to learn English as their first
foreign language have to learn those elements first.
There are several definitions of vocabulary:
a. Vocabulary is a list or group of words and phrases, usually in alphabetical order.
(Webster,1972: 327)
b. Vocabulary is a list of words or words and phrases especially one arranged in a
alphabetical order and defined or translated; a lexicon; glossary. (Webster,2003:
1407)
c. What a word means depends upon how it is used. This is the basic reason why
vocabulary should be studied in context. (Nasr, 1975: 74).
From the definitions above, the writer comes to the conclusion that
vocabulary is a group of words which surround the learners and which help give them
its meaning.
Finnochiaro (1974: 73) explains that the students vocabulary can be
separated into two kinds, namely active vocabulary and passive vocabulary. Active
vocabulary refers to the words in which the students can understand and pronounce
10
11
the words correctly and use them constructively in speaking or writing. On the other
hand, passive vocabulary refers to the words in which the students can recognize and
understand while they are reading or listening to someone speaking, but they do not
use the words in speaking or writing.
Cameron (2001: 94) says that a major resource for language teaching terms,
the development of words, the meaning and the links between them will be covered
under the term vocabulary. It means that vocabulary plays an important role in
language teaching, especially in English language teaching.
2.2.2
Teaching Vocabulary
The purpose of teaching vocabulary is to help the students bring and get the
meaning from word signs, signals, and symbols. To reach the goal of teaching
vocabulary, the students must be taught in many ways about words and their meaning
as well as words themselves.
These indicate that teaching vocabulary is not only teaching students to
memorize the words, but also bring them to analyze and implicate the words in
writing sentences. Building up vocabulary is a challenging task for teachers. In
teaching vocabulary, there are several principles for teacher as consideration. The
principles are:
a. Focus on the most useful vocabulary first.
Teaching useful vocabulary before less vocabulary gives learners the best return
for their learning effort.
11
12
In this case, the teacher should choose and divide vocabulary that the students
must learn appropriately. The teacher also has to consider the students needs
based on their age or their study field;
b. Focus on the vocabulary in the most appropriate way.
The first principle looked at what words to teach and learn.
The teacher should take a note to how she or he teaches vocabulary to the
students. More appropriate the teacher teaches, will make the teaching process
more effective;
c. Give attention to the high frequency words across the four stands of a course
High frequency vocabulary needs to occur in all four stands of a course. It
should get a deliberate attention through teaching and study and should be met
and used in communicating messages in listening, speaking, reading, and
writing;
d. Encourage learners to reflect on and take responsibility for learning.
There is an important principle that lies behind choosing and learning and that is
that learners need to realize that they must be responsible for their own learning.
(Nunan, 2003: 135-140).
When the teacher decides to choose a way in teaching vocabulary, the teacher
should have some strong reasons in choosing that will be useful and effective in the
teaching and learning process.
From the principles above, in the teaching and learning process the teacher
should be able to identify who are the students, what are their needs, and how the
12
13
teacher should teach in simple, appropriate, and interesting way. Different age of
students indicates that they also have different needs and interest.
2.2.3
since the teacher should introduce English as a new lesson for the students. The
students are expected to have the skills of language in simple English. So, the mastery
of vocabulary is very important since it is essential in conducting communication.
Teaching can hardly be separated from learning. It is done to facilitate
learning. The teachers, technique, positive attitude, and careful planning are
important in teaching. According to Brown (2000:7) teaching is giving and
facilitating learning, enabling the learner to learn, setting the conditions for learning.
It is important to place the teaching itself in the proper position. The more important
thing that the teacher should realize that teaching vocabulary at kindergarten is totally
different from teaching vocabulary at elementary schools. At kindergarten, the
students learn from the person from their surrounding. As said by Scott and Ytreberg
(1993: 11) that children response well to surroundings, which are pleasant and
familiar. It means that physical surroundings are important to support the success of
vocabulary teaching. It is the teachers task to build the pleasant surroundings for the
students.
Besides that, as stated by Nunan (2003: 3) those children develop
emotionally, morally, physically, and cognitively at different rates. By being aware of
what the students can do and can not do developmentally, the teacher is better able to
13
14
provide appropriate learning experiences for the students, so that they can get a
success.
This success will give them the confidence to attempt any tasks, which are
progressively more difficult. But it is common for the teacher to give the students
some rewards for them who are succeed to do or reach the tasks above. The teacher
should aware of giving the rewards. As Scott and Ytreberg said that:
Giving physical rewards or prizes tell others that they have not won and it
does not help learning to take place. It is for better to tell the pupil that you
like his or her work or do whatever appropriate. This gives the pupil a sense
of achievement which does not exclude the other pupils (Scott and Ytreberg,
1993: 11).
It draws that giving prizes or rewards all the time is not good for the students
learning. The teacher may sometimes give rewards or prizes but not in physical form.
In teaching vocabulary to the students, managing the students is also
important. The teacher should concern about management of the students and also of
the class. It can include classroom management and discipline, and also routines. In
managing the students and class, the teacher should aware of some terms. David Paul
(2003: 123-34) advised some considerations in managing the students and class, they
are: 1). Preempting problems, 2). Origins and strategies, 3). Self-esteem, 4).
Attention, 5). Intervention, 6). Voice and body language, and 7). Whole-class
problems. It is quite clear that teaching vocabulary to children really needs an extra
effort and strategies. Although there are many kinds of technique that can be used to
teach the children, but the teacher also should consider and aware of various things
and problems that may be faced in the teaching vocabulary to the students. The
teacher is better to use an appropriate technique in teaching vocabulary to the
students, such as the use of teaching aid.
14
15
The teaching aid should be able to attract the students attention in learning
vocabulary, so that in the teaching and learning process will be created a good and
pleasant atmosphere to support the students to improve their ability in achieving
vocabulary which had been taught. Besides using the aid to help the teaching process,
the teacher is also as the teaching aid. The teacher plays an important role in the
teaching process.
15
16
b. Students needs
The words that are needed by are usually worth and important to be taught to
the students. It means that an English teacher should give more emphasize on
vocabulary that is very useful for the students. In other words, they have to master
vocabulary that is really needed in context of situation.
Besides considering the reasons above, the teacher should aware on the age
and characteristics of the students who are taught in choosing the appropriate
teaching methodology, especially for young learners. It is very well known that very
young learners are very much oriented in their mind around the here and now and
directly visible or perceivable. (Suyanto, 2007: 16). Grammatical rules or
explanations are usually lost on them, as are somewhat adult notions of what is
correct and what is not. They will develop well when given plenty of examples and
patterns to follow. They tend to have a much shorter attention span and need
activities that capture their immediate interest. They also need much in the way of
stimulation that they need to have many or all of their five senses stimulated at once.
While generally less inhibited than adults in terms of experimenting with new
language, they tend to have more fragile egos and can be very sensitive to their
students.
Concerning the childrens characteristics, Scott and Ytreberg (1990: 5-6)
suggest some techniques in teaching English to children. They are:
1) Words are not enough
It means that one must not rely on the spoken words only. Most activities should
include movement and sense. Therefore, it needs plenty of objects and pictures.
16
17

material, skill, and attitudes. They also claim that term instructional media includes a
wide range of materials, equipments and techniques: chalkboards, bulletin boards,
filmstrips,
slides,
motion
pictures,
TV,
programmed
instruction,
models,
19
20
1) The content of media must have significant relation with the lesson.
2) The use of media contribute to the teaching and learning process significantly.
3) The cost or money spent is in accordance with the educational result derived from
its use.
4) In choosing an audio visual media a teacher should take into account the
environment or school where he or she teaches.
5) A teacher should think whether the media has been tested to certain students and
consider if the tested students are similar to the students whom he or she teaches.
6) There are data providing that the students learnt accurately through the use of the
media.
Although many criteria have been proposed, the teacher must not always
depend on those criteria. She or he is allowed to use his or her consideration in
selecting media that will apply in the classroom. The teacher should consider the
situation where he or she teaches and makes some adjustment if it is necessary. The
condition of school is relatively different from one another. That is why the writer
chooses VCD as media in this research.
20
21
ability in acquiring English. This VCD consists of twelve discs. Every disc presents a
certain theme using cartoon characters, puppets characters, children characters and its
sound. In this disc, there are some activities. By this discs, the students will know
some materials or vocabularies which are appropriate for them.
In each disc, there are several parts. Those parts are: Lets Say, Lets
Guess, Lets Sing, and Lets Read Along. The fisrt part is about vocabulary
learning activities which is consisted of pictures and sounds of the vocabulary. In the
second part, it is about exercises. There are some exercises to help the students in
memorizing the vocabulary given. The exercises are about guessing pictures, training
concentration, and developing memory. Meanwhile, the third part is about singing
together. There are some songs with simple, easy, and short lyrics. Then, the fourth
part is about reading along. There are some simple short story which are bilingual.
All of the parts are related with the themes.
Because the themes are too various, the writer decides to choose 2 themes
only. They are fruits and animals. When learning about the animals and fruits, the
VCD introduces them some materials which are based of the students surrounding. It
is also followed by interesting sounds and music which can build a positive learning
atmosphere.
The VCD uses bright colors to help the students cognitive ability. It is
completed by repetition and song, so that the students can understand and enjoy the
learning process. The VCD is also reality based, live action, and bilingual.
By this media, the writer hopes that the writer can improve the students
achievement in learning vocabulary and they will not get bored.
21

2.6.2
educational service, which must be done by teachers. They have to solve the
problems a head of them in education. In solving the problems, they should not use
22
23
trial and error methods. They should use an appropriate method such as action
research.
Here are two aims of action research. The first is stated by Hopkins (1985: 41)
who argues:
is to give the teachers an introduction to the variety of methods available to
as a mean of extending their repertoire of professional behaviors and of
encouraging flexibility in personal development. These are methods and
approaches that teachers can put into use, which empower them, and make
them increasingly competent and autonomous in professional judgment.
The second is by Mc Taggart as quoted by David Nunan (1993: 63). He
states:
This result is improvement in what happens in the classroom and school,
and better articulation and justification of the educational rationale of what
goes on. Action research provides a way of working which links theory and
practice into the one whole: ideas-in-action.
According to the statements above, the writer concludes that action research is
one of strategies in improving or increasing the practice of learning. It can be
achieved by doing such reflection in order to diagnose condition, and then try it
systematically as an alternative way to solve learning problems that is being faced in
class.

into the planning for the next cycle.

b. Action
After planning, the writer will be in a position to decide on what action is
going to take as a first attempt at tackling our concern. The writer should try to do
something that may help the action. It should be strategic action - action towards an
24

end,
as
stated
by
Kemmis
and
Mc
Taggart
c. Monitoring
The writer can not be too cavalier about the plan and action. The writer has to
anticipate how the writer will gather information regarding the impact of our action.
As the writer starts to explore different methods of data gathering, the writer will
become more familiar with them and be able to use them more efficiently. Remember
that some data can be gathered after the event, through, for example, interview or
questionnaire; a researcher does not have to gather everything as we were acting
(http://www.edu.plymouth.ac.uk/resined/actionresearch/arhome.htm). In this case, the
writer will monitor every cycle of the action research. It is done to check the students
activity in learning vocabulary, the students response during teaching and learning
process, and the students achievement in memorizing vocabulary.
d. Reflection
Analysis in action research is the spur to reflection and the planning of new
action. Analysis within action research is about possibilities, not certainties. It is not
about why things have to be as they are, but rather what possibilities for change lied
within
situation
(http://www.edu.plymouth.ac.uk/resined/actionresearch/arhome.htm). In analyzing
25
26
the action research, the writer needs to adopt an approach which could help uncover
any risks. The writer would analyze all of the data that she get to determine the next
cycle.
The writer also needs to analyze her teaching process, which will help to
highlight all of the contradiction that may happen. Progress in action research can be
seen depended on this kind of analysis. Action, reflection and planning proceeds
through the writer in identifying the contradictory aspects that may be preventing the
writer from achieving what she wanted in her teaching. The analysis will feed into
new (hopefully improved) teaching and it will also feed into an understanding of why
her teaching was as it was.

From the cycles above, the main difference of each cycle was the use the parts
in each VCD. In the Cycle 1, the writer only played the first part which only showed
the pictures and sounds of the vocabulary as the first treatment. Meanwhile, in the

vocabulary given. The pre-test and post-test were performed in Cycle I and Cycle II.
There were also Cycle I and Cycle II test, its purpose was to check the students
progress in each cycle. There were ten words that would be tested in each test.
For this action research, the writer only used pictures as a media in doing the
tests. The pictures were taken from Multi Media VCD. There were 20 pictures
presented in the tests. In this case, the writer also prepared a scoring form to collect
the students score.

3) Field notes
35
36
Field notes became the instrument which were used to know whether the
teaching learning process was in progress or declined. The description of the use of
Multi Media VCD, the materials given, and also the students responses could be
obtained from field notes.
In this research, the writer followed Wallaces aspects of teaching and
learning which could be used as guidance in making the field notes. The aspects
were: (1) the functioning of group work, (2) the performance of individual student,
(3) interesting or common errors made by students, (4) problematic issues/ dilemmas,
(5) ideas, inspirations, things that worked well, and (6) amusing incidents, remarks
(Wallace, 1998: 58).
Based on Wallaces aspects, the writer had five aspects in making the field
notes which were also related to the purpose of the study which asked about the
effects of the use of Multi Media VCD in teaching vocabulary to the kindergarten
students. It involved the aspects of the process of teaching and learning, the students
attention, the materials given, and the use of Multi Media VCD. The explanations
of its aspects were presented as follow:
a) Students participation, interest and motivation
The writer analyzed the students participation, interest and motivation in the
teaching and learning activities by using Multi Media VCD, whether they
followed and enjoyed the activities or not.
b) The materials
The writer also took notes of the materials in teaching and learning activities
using Multi Media VCD, whether it was based on the curriculum and suitable
for the students or not.
c) Students improvement in memorizing vocabulary
36
37
The writer took some notes about the students ability in memorizing vocabulary
using Multi Media VCD.
The aim of the field notes in this research was to have the data about the class
situation where the writer conducting the action research. There were five aspects that
would be analyzed by the writer. They were: the process of the teaching learning
process, the students attention in the teaching and learning process, the
implementation of the teaching learning process using Multi Media VCD, the
material which the writer explained to the students, and the interaction of the
students.
37
38
38
39
the purpose of the questionnaire was to get data about the students responses related
to the teaching and learning activities in improving their ability in memorizing
vocabulary using Multi Media VCD. The result of the questionnaire was also
noted.
the writer applied scoring formula from 2004 curriculum by Department of Education
and Culture (www.childdevelopmentinfo.com/development/devsequence.shtml):
Score =
B
x 100 %
N
Scoring the students work was a step to obtain qualitative information from
each student. The scoring system itself was based on the criterion issued by
Department
of
Education
and
(www.childdevelopmentinfo.com/development/devsequence.shtml).
Culture
The
criterion
said that a student could be said to be successful if she/ he could achieve 65% of the
score.
In order to become meaningful numerical data, students score of evaluation
after being taught by using Multi Media VCD should be converted to numerical data
which had been processed to the scale of 0-100. Then, the processed score can be
39
40
used as a basic to make decisions. If all of the students score were arranged from the
highest to the lowest, it would be easier to know the position of a student in his or her
group.
The measurement of the students achievement that was suggested by
Tinambunan (1988) could be interpreted with the following table.
Table 3. The Measurement of Students Achievement
The percentage of correct answer

The writer interpreted the result of the test into sentences after she got the mean score
of each student.
The writer used the measurement from Tinambunan because it could be as a
general measurement. It was compatible for each level of education such as
kindergarten school. Besides, the teachers in Panti Puruhita Kindergarten did not
have specific scoring system which used number in measuring the students
achievement.
Through the measurement, the results of the students work was needed to put
in a form that readily interpretable. Those data was useful to depict students level of
vocabulary achievement. The writer interpreted the result of the test into sentences.
40
41
The purpose of this ability was to find out the students achievement and showed the
result of the test of the teaching vocabulary by using Multi Media VCD.
3.7.2
The researcher grouped the students opinion into some category. Then, she
analyzed it by using description method, which involved the description and the
interpretation of the data. The data that the writer collected were described and
interpreted into sentences. Before it was described and interpreted into sentences, it
was analyzed by the following steps:
1) grading the items of the questionnaire
The writer graded the items of the questionnaire using the Heatons score ranges.
It can be seen as follow:

action research and the vocabulary that the students often practiced in their daily
activities were very relevant.
5) The students thought that learning vocabulary using Multi Media VCD was
very necessary and it could be given continually.
In this research, the field notes were done by the writer. The writer noted all
of the events happened in each meeting. The aspects that involved in the process of
teaching and learning were: the process of the teaching and learning itself, the
students attention in the teaching and learning process, the implementation of the
teaching and learning process using Multi Media VCD, the material which the
writer explained to the students, and the interaction of the students.
Based on the result of the field notes, the writer could conclude that:
1) The process of the teaching and learning process
The teaching and learning vocabulary process was good. It could make the
students more interested in learning vocabulary using Multi Media VCD.
2) The students attention in the teaching and learning process

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5
5.1 Conclusions
Based on the result of the analysis in the previous chapter, the writer can
conclude that:
1) Multi Media VCD can be used as media in teaching vocabulary to the students.
The discussion of the previous chapter proved that Multi Media VCD is
appropriate with the Curriculum 2004 for the kindergarten students. Besides, the
materials of Multi Media VCD are easy to be understood by the students in
learning vocabulary.
2) The students progress during the teaching and learning vocabulary process by
using Multi Media VCD was good. The students achievement was improved; it
was supported by the result which the post-test was higher (81.15 %) than the pretest (42.30 %).
3) Most of the students said that the activities using Multi Media VCD could help
them in mastering English vocabulary. Besides, Multi Media VCD could
increase the students attention and motivation in learning vocabulary. It can be
seen from the result of the questionnaire.

5.2 Suggestion
Based on the conclusion above, the writer would like to offer some
suggestions:
1) The use of Multi Media VCD is recommended to the English teacher,
especially for the teacher of Panti Puruhita Kindergarten Krapyak Indah
Semarang to attract the students interest in learning vocabulary.
2) The program should be maintained regularly and frequently. The purpose is to
attract the students attention in learning vocabulary, so they are able to improve
their achievement in memorizing vocabulary.
3) Hopefully there would be further studies on using VCD applied as a technique in
teaching vocabulary to kindergarten students.
