Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of elementary school teachers regarding the effectiveness of flashcards as a pedagogical tool for enhancing vocabulary acquisition among students. Language learning is inherently complex due to the diverse backgrounds, needs, and learning styles of students, which makes vocabulary mastery critical for successful communication and comprehension in English. In this context, flashcards are recognised as an interactive learning medium that can significantly improve student engagement and retention of vocabulary. Employing a narrative qualitative methodology, the research utilises semi-structured interviews with English teachers at an elementary school in Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia. This design allows for an in-depth exploration of teachers’ insights on the implementation of flashcards in vocabulary instruction and its perceived impact on student learning outcomes. Findings reveal that teachers view flashcards as an innovative and effective medium that enhances students' understanding of vocabulary by facilitating quicker associations between words and their meanings through visual imagery and textual information. Furthermore, the flexibility of flashcards permits personalised instruction that caters to varying learning abilities, fostering an inclusive classroom environment. Teachers also emphasise the role of flashcards in creating a dynamic and interactive learning atmosphere essential for motivating students and promoting active participation. The study concludes that the positive perceptions of teachers regarding the use of flashcards highlight their potential to improve vocabulary mastery in English language education, providing valuable implications for the development of more effective teaching strategies while emphasising the importance of teacher creativity in utilising educational media to enhance vocabulary learning.
