 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the Study

Language is a key of communication. All aspects in this life connect
with language. As humankind, people interact each other to fulfill their need
by using a language, whether it is verbal, nonverbal or written language.
Many kinds of languages are used by people in this world such as; native
language, second language, and foreign language (In Indonesia, native
language used is bahasa Indonesia).

The language used to communicate globally and internationally is

English. As the international language, most of the world connects with
English in the global area for many activities (especially in teaching and
learning activities). In discussing about English, there are some language
components (beside language skills) which have to be mastered by English
learners. They are grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.

Although English is a foreign language used in Indonesia, English is

taught in some educational levels from kindergarten until college. As the
subject taught, four language skills and language components in English are
trained to be comprehended by the learners maximally. Nowadays, the
educational curriculum which is used (K13) enable English to be a main
subject started at Junior High School. However, at elementary school (SD),
English is only taught as additional lesson (muatan lokal/mulok). The material
being taught more emphasized on how to understand and know vocabulary as
a language component. So, they can recognize English as international
language.

As international and foreign language, teaching English is so

challenging. Not all of Indonesian students used English as their daily
communication. They just learn English at school or at course place. So, good
education is needed to be existed for English. In relation with that, in

1
 2

conducting classroom activity for English lesson, students and teachers have
to be actively involved. It is necessary to make the activity done effectively
and to make both learners and teachers have a good feedback. For the result,
the materials are given maximally and the learning goals can be achieved.

However, in some conditions, students have to take extra effort in

mastering English materials and English skills. Moreover, they need
appropriate approaches, methods, technique and media in learning English. It
is because, each student has different character. That is why, they cannot be
in the same condition in adsorbing the materials, so, the treatment given
might be different.

Furthermore in learning English, the problem of learning difficulties

might happen to students in their age of learning (especially elementary
school students). Nowadays, it is not impossible when teachers meet some
students who have difficulties in learning from the simplest to the specific. It
is possible for students to be affected by some specific learning difficulties.
There are some types included in the terms of specific learning difficulties
such as Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia and Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Specifically, the specific learning difficulties that will be discussed in

this research is about dyslexia. Dyslexia might cause some problems in the
teaching and learning activity. The problems that might indicate dyslexic
students in the teaching and learning activity are: dyslexic students are weak
in mastering literacy aspects, the Dyslexic students are difficult in
recognizing words especially in English, the Dyslexic students are difficult in
writing and reading English vocabulary, the Dyslexic Students are difficult in
having appropriate learning methods/approach for them to enhance their
learning capability especially in English vocabulary learning, English
teachers have some difficulties and problems when they teach dyslexic
students, English teachers often teach the dyslexic students with the same
 3

methods and media as they use for teaching regular students and lack
knowledge about media to teach vocabulary for dyslexic students.

In addition, specifically this research is conducted see that dyslexic

students are difficult in getting appropriate media in teaching and learning
activity that make them difficult in gaining the material. So, in this research,
the writer uses a particular media that will be used for dyslexic students in
learning and mastering English vocabulary appropriate with their learning
material. The media will be used to teach vocabulary for dyslexic students in
this research is flashcard. Flashcard is a media used to teach and learn
vocabulary which consists of picture and words appropriate with the picture.
Usually, it is used for primary school students to enrich their vocabulary
mastery. By using vocabulary flashcard, students will enjoy their activity in
gaining the learning materials and their visual aspect in learning will be
helped to be enhanced.

By the explanation above, in this study, the writer is attracted to

conduct a research related to the teaching and learning activity for dyslexic
students in English lesson. So, by looking those reasons, the writer wants to
conduct a research by the title “The Effect of Using Flashcard in Teaching
English Vocabulary for Dyslexic Students (A Pre-Experimental Study at the
4th Grade Students of SD Pantara South Jakarta)”. Hopefully, this research
will give a positive effect upon teaching English for dyslexic students.

B. Identification of the Problem

Related to the background of the research, the problems indicated in this
research are as follows:

1. Dyslexic students find difficulties in reading, writing and spelling.1

1
Meehan, Margaret , Dyslexia and Specific Learning Difficulties, (Swansea, University
of Wales Swansea, 2007) p.3
 4

2. Dyslexic students find difficulties in recognizing words especially in

English
3. Dyslexic students find difficulties in writing and reading English
vocabulary
4. Dyslexic Students find difficulties in having appropriate learning
methods/approach for them to enhance their learning capability especially
in English vocabulary learning.
5. English teachers have some difficulties and problems when they teach
dyslexic students
6. English teachers often teach the dyslexic students with the same methods
and media as they use for teaching regular students and lack knowledge
about media to teach vocabulary for dyslexic students.

C. Limitation of the Study

The discussion of teaching English for dyslexic students is too broad and
complex. That is why, the problems of the research have to be limited. This
study is only limited on the effect of using flashcard in teaching English
vocabulary for dyslexic students at the fourth grade students of SD Pantara
South Jakarta.

D. Formulation of the Study

Based on the statements above, the study can be formulated as follows:
“Is there any effect of using flashcard in teaching English vocabulary for
dyslexic students at the fourth grade of SD Pantara South Jakarta?”

E. The Objective of the Research

Based on the problem that was mentioned above, this research is aimed to
see the effect of using flashcard in teaching English vocabulary for dyslexic
students at the fourth grade of SD Pantara South Jakarta.
 5

F. The Significance of the Study

The activities related to this research are expected to have positive

impacts for teachers, students and other researchers.

1. Teachers
The activities of this research are expected to improve the insight of
teaching and learning English vocabulary for dyslexic students especially
at Pantara Elementary School South Jakarta. So, it is easy to recognize
students who have difficulties in learning language (especially in
mastering English vocabulary) such as dyslexia.
For the teachers, this research expects them to conduct the class with
dyslexic students wisely. Also, it can improve their teaching strategy and
enrich their knowledge in using media to teach English vocabulary for
dyslexic students. Then, globally this research is expected to make
common people wiser to face dyslexic students. Hopefully, it can change
the negative view and the discrimination for dyslexic people by giving the
right information about dyslexic people. So, dyslexic people will be more
comfortable in studying English and people can help them to overcome
their learning difficulties.
2. Students
For dyslexic students, this research is expected to enhance their ability
and knowledge about vocabulary related to the material they learned.
Hopefully, by using flashcard media, the dyslexic students are able to
memorize the vocabulary, write the vocabulary, spell the vocabulary
correctly and know the vocabulary meaning in bahasa Indonesia and of
course, they can enjoy their teaching and learning activity.
 6

3. Other Researcher
After conducting this research, it can support the existing theory
which had been conducted by experts that have the same importance
related to this research. So it can enrich the theory related to this research.
For other researcher, this research is expected to be useful to give
information about the condition of dyslexic students and the teacher who
teach them in teaching and learning English vocabulary. Then, this
research hopely can be useful to help further researcher who want to
conduct study with the similar topic to give more knowledge about this
research and benefit reference as the basic data information to conduct
further study.
Also, the writer hopes that this research can be very useful
information for educational field in order to enrich understanding for the
parties inside. Also, this research can enrich research results those were
conducted before this research by other researcher and experts.

 CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Review of Related Literature
1. The Nature of Vocabulary
As one of the language components (beside grammar and
pronunciation), vocabulary is one thing which has to be mastered early
by language learners. In addition, vocabulary has an important role for
language learners in learning a language. Knowing vocabulary is
important for getting meaning from a text. Foreign language or second
language readers frequently say that they need more vocabularies so that
they can understand the meaning of the sentence.1 With knowing the
vocabulary they read, the readers‟ vocabulary mastery can be developed.
Vocabulary development refers to the knowledge of stored
information about the meanings and pronunciations of words necessary
for communication. Vocabulary development is important for beginning
reading in that when a student sounds out a word, he or she is also
determining if the word makes sense based on his or her understanding of
the word. If a student does not know the meaning of the word, it is
difficult to check for the word that fits.2

a. Definition of Vocabulary
Discussing vocabulary, there are some idea in defining
vocabulary. As people know, Vocabulary is one of the most important
aspect of foreign language learning.3. When people want to speak and
learn a language, firstly, they have to understand the vocabulary of the
language. As Raphael stated, vocabulary is broadly defined as

Strategies for Second Language Classroom (Cambridge, United Kingdom, Cambridge University
Pres: 1997) P.138

Teaching, (Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2001) p.31

 8

knowledge about words and word meanings4. People can use their
language skill fluently if they have mastered the vocabulary of the
language they want to use. Another definition of vocabulary refers to
words we use to communicate in oral and print language5 that‟s
because, the language people use to interact each other are orally and
printed. Sometimes, people use oral language to interact directly in
daily life, but sometimes they need to print what they want to convey
to others. Also, Djalinus Syah stated that, vocabulary is the treasury of
the words that is a list and a number of words which we have known.6
In daily life, people interact with others. So, by the interaction
happened, everyone can enrich their vocabulary each other to express
what they need and what idea they are thougt.
So, from some explanation above, it can be concluded that
vocabulary is a component of a language which contained words, it
can be learned, and it is used by people to communicate each other.

b. Kinds of Vocabulary
In discussion of language component, there are numerous kinds of
vocabulary. Haycraft stated that the kinds of vocabulary can be
defided into active and passive vocabulary as follows:
1) Active vocabulary can be defined as words which the students
understands, can pronounce correctly and uses constructively in
speaking and writing

Group), p.2

6

Jawab), (Jakarta, CV Miswar, 1982) p. 1
 9

2) Passive vocabulary can be defined as words that the student

recognizes and understands when they occur in a context, but
which he cannot produce correctly himself. 7
Also, Jo Ann and Aebersold classifies the vocabulary into two
kinds, active and passive vocabulary as follows
3) Productive vocabulary or people may call it as active vocabulary, is
the vocabulary items that people actually use in speaking and
writing.
4) Receptive vocabulary or people may call it passive vocabulary is
the vocabulary that people recognize it but do not use in speaking
and writing. It is commonly used in listening and reading. 8

2. Teaching and Learning Vocabulary

As one of the language component which has important role,
vocabulary might be learned by language learners. Vocabulary learning
is central to language acquisition, whether the language is first, second,
or foreign. Although vocabulary has not always been recognized as a
priority in language teaching, interest in its role in second language
learning has grown rapidly in recent years and specialists now emphasize
the need for a systematic principled approach to vocabulary by both
teacher and learner9
Teaching vocabulary development involves more than teaching the
definition of technical or unfamiliar words in texts. Many encounters
with a word in meaningful contexts are needed for students to acquire it.
It also requires understanding how the words are learned in non-
instructional contexts through conversation and reading. Researchers

Edition ( USA, Thomson Learning: 2001), p.285

claim students do not learn much from looking up words in a dictionary

and memorizing definitions
When teaching vocabulary special attention must be given not only
to single words but also to polywords (example: by the way);
collocations, or word partnerships (example: community service);
institutionalized utterances and idioms.10
Furthermore, the vocabulary teaching and learning must be done
effectively. Therefore, if the vocabulary learning cannot be done
effectively, it can cause some bad symptoms. Related to Wallace, some
symptoms of bad vocabulary learning are as follows:

a) Inability to retrieve vocabulary that has been taught

b) Use of vocabulary inappropriate to the given situation
c) Use of vocabulary at the wrong level of formality
d) Possessing wrong kind of vocabulary for one‟s needs
e) Using vocabulary in an unidiomatic way
f) Using vocabulary in a meaningless way
g) Incorrect use of a dictionary
h) Use of incorrect grammatical form, spelling, pronunciation, or stress11
Discussions of vocabulary learning are often divided between
intentional learning and incidental learning. Intentional learning is
defined as being designed, planed for or intended by teacher or student.
Incidental learning defined as the type of learning that is byproduct of
doing or learning something else.12
However, another opinion stated that vocabulary learning can be
divided into direct and indirect vocabulary learning. The explanation are
as follows:

10
Multicultural and Esol Program, op. cit., p.26
11
Micahel Wallace, Teaching Vocabulary, (Great Britain, Heinemann Educational Books
Ltd: 1982) pp. 9-13
12
Evelyn Hatch and Cheryl Brown, Vocabulary, Semantics, and Language Education.
(UK, Cambridge University Press: 1995), p. 368
 11

In direct vocabulary learning, the learners do exercises and activities

that focus their attention on vocabulary. In indirect vocabulary learning,
the learners‟ attention is focused on some other feature, usually the
message that is conveyed by a speaker or writer.13
Furthermore, Hatch stated, there are five essential steps in vocabulary
teaching and learning. The steps are as follows:
a) Encountering new words
The first is encountering new words that is having a source of words.
b) Getting the word form
The second step essential to vocabulary learning appears to be getting
of a clear image – visual or auditory or both.
c) Getting the word meaning
This step includes some strategies as “asking native English speakers
what words mean”, “asking people who speak native language the
meanings of new words”, “making pictures of word meaning in
minds”, and “explaining the meaning and asking someone to tell me
the English word.”
d) Consolidating word form and meaning in memory
Many kinds of vocabulary learning, drills such as flashcards, matching
exercises, crosswords puzzles, etc., strengthen the form of meaning
connection.
e) Using the words
Possibly, the use of a word tests the learner‟s understanding of the
word, learners feel more confident about their word knowledge once
they have used a word without undesired consequences.14
In addition, vocabulary teaching can fit into a language learning
course in any of four ways. The four ways are as follows:

13
Nation, I.S.P, Teaching and Learning Vocabulary (Boston, Heinle & Heinle Publisher:
1990) p.2
14
Hatch, op. cit., pp.373 - 390
 12

a) Materials is prepared with vocabulary learning as a consideration.

b) Words are dealt with as they happen to occur.
c) Vocabulary is taught in connection with other language activities.
d) Time is spent either in the class or out of school on the study of
vocabulary without an immediate connection with some other
language activity.15
Some techniques that can be used in teaching vocabulary as stated by
Allen, are as follows:
a) Guessing games in which members of the class are identified by
location and by clothing
b) Actions that are performed in response to command
c) Drawing of pictures by students to match English descriptions
d) Discussions of pictures drawn by members of the class16
Also, in teaching vocabulary, the teachers have to communicate the
meaning of a word. Moreover, when the teachers‟ learners are foreign
language or second language speakers, they have to connect the relation
of a word into their custom language. The meaning of words can be
communicated or taught in many different ways such as follows:
By demonstrating a picture:
a) Using an object
b) Using a cut-cut figure
c) Using gesture
d) Performing an action
e) Photographs
f) Blackboards drawings or diagram
g) Pictures from books
By verbal explanation
a) Analytical definition

University Press: 1980), p.30
 13

b) Putting the new word in a defining context

c) Translating into another language17

a. Teaching vocabulary in class

Some ways in teaching vocabulary in a class are as follows
1) Focusing on vocabulary
Giving vocabulary is a high profile in the syllabus and the
classroom so that students can see its importance and understand
that learning a language is not just about learning grammar18
2) Repeating and recycling
Learning vocabulary is largely about remembering, and
students generally need to see, say, and write newly learned words
many times before they can be said to have learned them.
3) Providing opportunities to organize vocabulary
Organizing vocabulary in meaningful ways makes it easier to learn.
There are three broad headings in organizing vocabulary which are:
real-world groups, language-based groups, and personalized
groups, and examples of which are given below.
a) Real-world groups occur in the real world
b) Language-based groups draw on linguistic criteria as ways of
grouping
c) Personalized groups use students‟ own preferences and
experiences as the basis for the groups19

b. Methods Used in Teaching English Vocabulary

In teaching English Vocabulary, there are two methods which can be
used as follows:
1) The grammar-translation method of foreign language teaching is
one of the most traditional methods, dating back to the late

nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The principal

characteristic of the grammar-translation method is a focus on
learning the grammar rules and their application in translating texts
from one language into the other.20
2) Communicative Approach. The first concern of communicative
approach is language acquisition rather than conscious learning.
According to Krashen, “acquisition is a natural process, similar to
the way children develop ability in their first language.21

c. Important factors in language learning process

There are some important factors in language learning process as
follows:
1) motivation
2) data (samples of the language, plus - maybe - information about the
language)
3) opportunities to experiment with the data
4) feedback22

3. Flashcards
Learning vocabulary can be more effective by using visual aid such
as pictures. With visual aids (in this case picture), teacher can be easier to
handle the class in mastering the material. It help students recognize what
the teacher explain without any real object media. Pictures are not just
an aspect of method but through their representation of places, objects
and people they are an essential part of the overall experiences so,
teachers must help students to cope with. Visual aids in teaching are well
established. Pictures provide a great deal of information at a glance,

when used to illustrate the meaning of a particular expression. 23 pictures

contribute to:
a) Interest and motivation;
b) A sense of the context of a language;
c) A specific reference point or stimulus.24
One of the kinds of picture media used in teaching vocabulary is flash
card. Flashcards are easy to use and founds media to help teaching and
learning process especially in English vocabulary.. Flash card drills
provide students with a means to memorize key information. Information
that can be acquired through flash card drills is varied and may include
math facts, sight words, state capitols, foreign language vocabulary, and
so on. Because of the broad potential utility of flash card instruction,
teachers can benefit from knowing research-based guide- lines for
obtaining the optimal effectiveness of this strategy.25 With flashcard,
learners visual sense can be helped, so, the information given can be
adsorbed maximally because flashcards usually show pictures which are
attracted for the learners.
Flashcards exercise the mental process of active recall : given a
prompt (the question), one produces the answer. Beyond the content of
cards, which are collected in decks , there is the question of use – how
does one use the cards, in particular, how frequently does one review
(more finely, how does one schedule review) and how does one react to
errors, either complete failures to recall or mistakes? Various systems
have been developed, with the main principle being spaced repetition –

increasing the review interval whenever a card is recalled correctly and

recalling the important information of the subject of study.26
Flashcards can be used for consolidating vocabulary, practicing
structure and word order, or for a variety of the games. They are simple
and effective, but they also requires careful thought and preparation in
advance27

a. Defining Flashcards
There are numerous opinions in defining flashcard media.
However, the writer only chooses several of the definition to be
discussed. The definitions about flashcard which is chosen by the
writer may be stated as follows:
1) Flashcards are picture cards and can be used on their own or with
word cards. They are great for introducing new vocabulary,
memorizing, revising and consolidating vocabulary and concepts,
and for stimulating discussion.28
2) Flashcards are pictures or photographs mounted on small cards.
They are used as a visual resource in language teaching.29
3) A flashcard or flash card is a set of cards bearing information , as
words or numbers, on either or both sides, used in classroom drills
or in private study. One writes a question on a card and an answer
overleaf. Flashcards can bear vocabulary, historical dates, formulas
or any subject matter that can be learned via a question-and-answer

format. Flashcards are widely used as a learning drill to aid

memorization by way of spaced repetition.30
4) Flashcards are sets of cards with a word or phrase on one side and
its meaning usually in translation on the other.31
5) Flashcards are cards with single pictures which can be held up by
the teacher.32
6) Flashcards are the cards on which words and/or pictures are printed
or drawn. They should be big enough to be seen clearly by every
student in the class. The flashcards is easy to make either as
drawing (manually or printed) or with cut out from pictures or
magazine.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that flashcards are
set of cards which contained pictures and words (also its‟ explanation
or some information based on the picture) about something, to help
someone in mastering a vocabulary of a language.

b. Types of Flashcard and How to Make Flashcards

Haycraft stated that There are some kinds of flashcards as follows:
1) Word Cards
Word cards is number of cards which representing all the words in
a sentence. In using this kind of cards, students can be asked to
arrange some cards which contain some words into a correct
sentence.
2) Picture Cards
This kind of cards is used to represent vocabulary in number of
pictures. This kind of cards is also used to illustrate the characters
in a dialogue, to help students improvise.33

3) Combining Word and Picture Cards

This kind of cards combined both words and picture in a card. This
kind of cards is used to make students easier in memorizing
vocabulary by combining visual aids and words so it can help the
students‟ improvement in vocabulary mastery.34
Also, as cited from eal.britishcouncil.org There are various
different types of flashcard as follows:
1) pictures only
2) pictures with words in first language
3) pictures with words in English on front of the same card
4) pictures with the English word on the back of the card
5) Picture-only cards with separate word-only cards.35
Flashcards can be made very easily using PowerPoint. It is to
use a separate slide for each card and then print them out as two-to-
a-page or six-to-a-page handouts, depending on the size of card
required. They can be printed on card, or paper if teachers are
going to laminate them, and then cut to form flashcards. Using
PowerPoint creates a more professional simple and easy works as
all the cards will be exactly the same size, and the images are more
stable than they will be in a Word document.36

c. Some Benefits in Using Flashcards

Flashcards as visual aids can play many roles in the teaching and
learning process, as follows:
1) To supply concrete reference for the idea
2) To make abstract idea become concrete

3) To motivate the learners

4) To direct the attention
5) To repeat information in different formats
6) To remind the previous learning
7) To reduce learning effort/simplify some information which is
difficult to be understood.37

d. Some Ways in Using Flashcard

As cited from britishcouncil.org, there are some ways in using
flashcards, as follows:
1) Pairs
It is to use a set of image and word cards to play pairs (also known
as Pelmanism). Teachers might ask the learners to do a simple
matching activity before you play, to consolidate understanding.
2) Sorting activities
Learners sort the cards into categories/groups and explain their
choices, their reasoning and the connections between the items.
The items could sort into groups, a table, Venn diagram, or flow
diagram for example.
3) Bingo
It is to choose a grid size e.g. 3x3, 3x4, 4x4 and fill the grid with
picture cards, word cards or a mixture. Teachers could let the
learners choose, or choose the cards for them. They put the
remaining cards in a bag or pile and you or a learner selects in turn.
The winner is the first player to complete a line/the whole grid.
Teachers might ask the learners to do a simple matching activity
before playing, to consolidate understanding. It is a good idea to
model a relevant structure teachers would like the learners to say

37
Sharon E. Smaldino, Deborah L. Lowther ,James D. Russel, Instructional and Media
for Learning: Teknologi Pembelajaran dan Media untuk Belajar, (Jakarta, Kencana: 2008), p.72
 20

correctly in order to be allowed to put a card in the grid, e.g. „It‟s a

river ‟ / „ They‟re cliffs‟, or „I like …‟ / „I don‟t like …‟
4) Connect 4
Connect 4 is a bit like Bingo, but for two players, played on one
board of 8x8. Players have a set of cards each, of different colours,
and have to make a line of four.
5) Snap
With cards in two piles, players take it in turns to turn over a card.
If the cards match, the player who shouts „snap‟ (or the
word/phrase you are trying to practise) first keeps the cards in the
pile.
5) Odd one out
It is to sort the cards into groups, with one „odd one out‟. Groups
identify the „odd ones out‟ and explain their reasoning.38

4. The Nature of Dyslexia

In teaching and learning activity, teachers might meet specific
learning difficulties faced by students in learning school subject. It is also
faced by students in learning English lesson, especially for students who
use English as a foreign language. One of the specific learning
difficulties faced by students is dyslexia. Dyslexia is a learning difficulty
that can affect someone‟s literacy aspect, so the impact is they can feel
difficult to learn language especially English. Dyslexia can affect pupils
or students in their learning ages. Related to specialist doctor of children,
Dr. Anjana Thadhani, dyslexia is a nerve development disturbance which
is appeared since a pupil was born. At least, dyslexia is suffered by 10%
pupils in their school age whether boys or girls can be suffered by

38

 21

dyslexia39. From the statistic data above, it is noted that the total amount
of children in the age of Elementary School and below in Indonesia is 50
million people. With the assumption that dyslexic children is 10%; so,
the prediction of dyslexic children is 5 million people.40
According to British Dyslexia Association, Dyslexia is a specific
learning difficulty that mainly affects the development of literacy and
language related skills. It is likely to be present at birth and to be life-
long in its effects It is characterized by difficulties with phonological
processing, rapid naming, working memory, processing speed, and the
automatic development of skills that may not match up to an individual„s
41
other cognitive abilities. However, the biggest challenge that dyslexia
causes in education and in working life is with reading and writing. It is
therefore understandable that the primary focus of interventions and
support for people with dyslexia is on reading and that teachers all agree
such support is better provided as early as possible in a child‟s
education.42
Early identification and knowledge of the characteristics of dyslexia
are important. Dyslexia can be a confusing condition. There are plenty of
theories on its nature, from the phonological deficit hypothesis, visual
deficit and dietary imbalance theories, to speculation on movement and
coordination difficulties. So, often the busy classroom teacher does not
have time to read all the latest literature and develop new teaching
practices.43

That is why the clear and right information about dyslexia is very
important for those who gained in educational and language field. So,
how about the clear explanation for the nature of dyslexia? Here is the
explanation.
a. The Definition of Dyslexia
Dyslexia might be a confusing condition. People might be
unfamiliar with this condition and think that one that is affected by
dyslexia is stupid and cannot learn well. Discussing about dyslexia,
the term comes from two Greek words: dys (here meaning „difficulty
with‟) and lexicos or lexis (meaning „words‟).44 From the term
meaning, there are some statements represented the definition and
explanation about what dyslexia is. Here are the statements:
1) According to International Dyslexia Association, Dyslexia is a
specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is
characterized by difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word
recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities.
2) According to International Dyslexia Association, Dyslexia is a
specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is
characterized by difficulties with accurate and / or fluent word
recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities45
3) Dyslexia is one of the specific learning disabilities. Children with
dyslexia have difficulties in word recognition, word reading and
dictation. It is not caused by intellectual disabilities, sensory
impairments, environmental factors or emotional problems.46
4) is a type of learning disability. Specifically, it is a language-based
disorder characterized by problems learning to read, write, spell,
and decode single-words. A person with dyslexia has reading skills

significantly below what is expected given his/her intelligence and

educational experiences. 47
So, generally it can be concluded that dyslexia is a Specific
Learning difficulties or learning disorder that affects someone‟s
literacy (language) aspects and skills. Dyslexic people might difficult
in reading, writing, spelling, speaking fluently and recognizing letters
or words. So, in this case, dyslexic students might have to get an extra
attention and support to maximize the learning activity which they are
attended.

b. Identifying Dyslexic People or Students

To know whether someone is affected by dyslexia or not, a teacher
can identify from identification checklist below that represent the
weakness and strength owned by a dyslexic students. Angela Fawcet
stated Early identification checklist and Children checklist. The
cheklist can be showed below.
1) Early Identification Checklist
Weaknesses
a) Is there a family history of learning difficulties?
b) Did the child have delayed speech, a lisp or is the speech
unclear?
c) Does the child have problems getting dressed, putting shoes on
the correct feet, doing up buttons, laces, etc.?
d) Does the child enjoy hearing stories but shows no interest in the
written word?
e) Do people continually say the child is lazy and not paying
attention?
f) Does the child have problems with games:

When a child reads and spells, does he frequently:
a) confuse letters that look similar: d – b, u – n, m – n?
b) confuse letters that sound the same: v, f, th?
c) reverse words: was – saw, now – won?

l) Does he have confusion with mathematical symbols (plus/minus
etc.)?
m) Does he have an inability to follow more than one instruction at
a time?
n) Is he unable to use a dictionary or telephone directory? 48
c. Cause of Dyslexia
When they become a difference in the way the brain works
problems in the development of phonological awareness Includes
difficulty with:
1) understanding the sound system of our language
2) recognizing individual speech sounds in words
3) learning how letters represent those sounds
4) remembering sounds in the correct order
5) the ability to quickly say letter names, object names, and name
common words
6) anatomical and brain imagery studies show differences in the
way the brain of a student with dyslexia develops and functions.

d. The Characteristic of Dyslexia

There are some characteristics owned by a dyslexic students
1) Hearing
The ear represents the auditory aspects. These can be important
in relation to developing phonological awareness. Phonological
awareness is seen as being a crucial factor in dyslexia – that is,
differentiating between sounds, especially sounds that are similar,

48
Maria Chivers, Dyslexia and Alternative Therapies (UK, Jesica Kingsley Publisher:
2006), pp.20 - 23
 27

remembering these sounds and identifying them in words. These

aspects can present difficulties for dyslexic children.
2) Sight
Some dyslexic children may have some visual disturbance
when reading print and this can cause blurring, words merging
and omissions of words or lines when reading. Coloured overlays
for some children have been successful, as has the use of coloured
background for text and the font characteristics and font size.
3) Connections
Between the eye and the ear represents the neurological
basis for dyslexia and the importance of neurological connections.
These connections help with the integration of different skills
such as visual/motor integration, as in copying, and
auditory/kinaesthetic integration, as in listening and carrying out
instructions.There is considerable research evidence that
highlights the neurological basis of dyslexia and in particular the
connecting pathways of the left and right hemispheres as well as
aspects relating to the cerebellum and the magnocellular visual
system. These factors affect processing speed as well as visual
accuracy and co-ordination.
4) Motor skills
The cerebellum in particular has been implicated in this, and a
number of dyslexic children will display fine motor and gross
motor difficulties that can result in poor handwriting and/or
clumsiness.
5) The core difficulties
It is related in difficulties associated with dyslexia – reading,
spelling and writing. These tasks are usually left hemisphere skills,
apart from creative writing, which can be associated with the right
hemisphere. The research indicates that dyslexic children have
weaknesses in the left hemisphere so therefore tasks involving
 28

phonics, accuracy, sequencing and remembering will be more

challenging and often more exhausting for the child with dyslexia.
6) Interaction
The teacher and the student highlight the importance of
interaction. Quite often children with dyslexia need interaction
with the teacher in order to provide the most appropriate cues,
structure and to help develop connections with previous learning.
This aspect cannot be emphasised strongly enough because if
interaction does not take place, for example through teacher/pupil
question and answer, then the dyslexic person may fail to grasp the
underlying concepts and the information will be less meaningful.
This interaction can lead to what is sometimes referred to as
metacognition. This involves the student questioning him/herself as
to why he/she thinks in a certain way. This type of self-questioning
is an aspect of metacognition
7) School ethos
The symbol of the school highlights the importance of the
school ethos and the learning environment. It is important that
the child feels comfortable in the school particularly since for
many dyslexic children school represents a place of failure. It is
crucial that this view is reversed and a welcoming and positive
school environment can help greatly with this.
8) Diet
Dyslexic children and indeed all children require a well-
balanced diet to learn effectively. Research by Richardson
(2002) highlights the importance of essential fatty acids to
maximize efficient learning and that many children with
dyslexia are deficient in Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty
acids. The whole diagram seeks to highlight the breadth of the
 29

areas involved in dyslexia – it is not a narrow syndrome, but one

that incorporate many aspects of language and of learning.49

e. Dyslexia and Learning Difficulties Related

There are some kinds of learning difficulties that can be suffered
by people, especially pupils in their learning ages. Beside Dyslexia, the
kinds of learning difficulties (related to dyslexia) those will be
discussed are dyscalculia, dysgraphia and dyspraxia. Here is the
explanation
1) Dyscalculia
The first learning difficulty related to dyslexia is dyscalculia.
Dyscalculia is difficulty in counting, and gaining numbers. Widely,
dyscalculia can be described as a specific learning difficulty relating
to mathematics. Like dyslexia, dyscalculia can be caused by a visual
perceptual deficit.50
2) Dysgraphia
The second learning difficulty to be discussed is dysgraphia.
Dysgraphia is the inability to write properly, despite a student being
given adequate time and attention. The cause of this disorder is still
unknown but is thought it could be due to a language disorder and/or
damage to the motor system.51
3) Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia is also called developmental dyspraxia or
developmental coordination disorder (DCD). It is not certain what
causes dyspraxia but it is thought to be due to an immaturity in
neurone development in the brain. Dyspraxia affects approximately

10% of the population, some severely. The overwhelming majority

are male.52
4) Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
It is a difficulty in maintaining attention on any task and paying
undue attention to external stimuli.
5) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
It is a difficulty in physically remaining still as well as not being
able to keep focused on tasks.53

B. Previous Study
In conducting this research, the weiter sees some researches which have
been done by other researchers similar with this research.
The first is the research which is conducted by Neneng Suhaimi, the
student of Department of English Education UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta.
The tittle of this research is „The Effectiveness of Using Flashcard in Teaching
Vocabulary‟. this research was conducted in January 28th until March 7th 2014
at MTsN 13 South Jakarta. The aim of this research is to know the
effectiveness of flashcard in teaching vocabulary. This research used
quantitative method with quasi-experimental design. The technic in collecting
data in this research is pre-test and post-test at the grade 7A as experimental
class and 7D as control class. The result of this research with t-test is t-count is
2.43 with t-table with significance 5% is 1.671. t0>tt it means that Ho is rejected
and the use of flashcard in teaching vocabulary is effective.54
The second research is the research which is conducted by Aschurotun

Research for the Fourth Year Students of MI Duren Bandungan in the

Academic Year of 2009 / 2010). This research is aimed to find out whether the
flashcard can improve students‟ interest in English subject and whether the
flashcard can improve students‟ mastery in English vocabulary or not. This
research used Classroom action research as a method in this research. The
researcher used pre-test and post-test to see the capability of the students in
vocabulary mastery. Then, the researcher also did some cycles in teaching and
learning activity. The researcher found the result of t-table show 2,05. Then, it
is compared with t-calculation which shows that cycle 1 is 6,256, cycle 2 is
8,712 and cycle 3 is 9,784. Because t-calculation is higher than t-table, so the
researcher conclude that there is significant different between pretest and
posttest55
The third research is the research which is conducted by Ana Zulaecha, the
students of Department of English Education of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah
Jakarta by the tittle „Reinforcing Students‟ Vocabulary Mastery Through
Picture (A Classroom Action Research In First Grade of SMP Prakarya
Anjatan-Indramayu). The aim of this research is to know how the first grade
students of SMP Prakarya Anjatan master English vocabulary using pictures
and how the implementation in developing students‟ vocabulary mastery. This
research used classroom action research. The research used observation,
interview and test. The steps of this research are planning, implementing,
observing and reflecting. The result of this result is the increasing of students‟
score average in vocabulary with the amount of 35,53%. Most of the students
can pass KKM score, 86.95% students in cycle 1 or 26 students can pass KKM
with the average score 70.86. In the cycle 2, 100% students or 29 students can
pass KKM with the average score is 84.82.56

The fourth research is research which is conducted by Fajar Kawuryan

from Faculty of Psychology, University of Muria Kudus. The tittle of the
research is Pengaruh Stimulasi Visual Untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan
Membaca Pada Anak Disleksia. This study aimed to investigate the influence
of visual stimulation on the ability of dyslexic children to read in elementary
school. The research was conducted in SD 2 and SD 3 rotten Holy Bae District.
The sample in this study amounted to 21 dyslexic students from SD 2 and SD 3
rotten Holy Bae Dsitrict . This research uses experimental research by
providing treatment to students through visual stimulation using a one group
pretest-post-test design. Data shows different coefficient of 3.141 with a p =
0.005 (p <0.05). It is also indicated by the mean difference in both the average
post-test data reading skills of elementary students are dyslexic 170.910 higher
than pre-test data reading skills of elementary school students are dyslexic of
90.173. These results indicate that there is a significant difference between pre-
test and post-test of students' reading ability of dyslexic SD before and after
treatment with visual stimulation.57
The fifth research is the research that was conducted by Raras Octaviany
from Department of Indonesian Language and Literature Education Syarif
Hidayatullah State Islamic University Jakarta. The tittle of the research is
“Penerapan Multimedia Berbasis Komputer dalam Pembelajaran Membaca
Nyaring pada Anak Disleksia di Lembaga Bimbingan Studia Center”. This
research aimed to describe the application of computer-based multimedia
which used a presentation program that is microsoft power point 2010 in
teaching reading aloud for grade four dyslexic students at the Studia Center
institution. This research used descriptive design. The instruments used are
power point 2010 slides, informal assessment sheets, observation sheets. From
the research, the result described that the application of multimedia-based
computer in learning reading aloud at Studia Center institution conducted into
three steps. The steps were early step, main step, and last step. From the steps,

however, there are some errors which still existed and the difficulties in
reading aloud.58

C. Thinking Framework
Vocabulary is one of important elements in learning English language.
Someone can be fluent to produce a language both written and orally while he
or she is rich in vocabulary mastery. However, it is not easy to learn English
vocabulary for those who speak English as a speaker of foreign language
moreover for those who have Specific learning difficulties (LD) such as
dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, ADHD and ADD.
Usually, people who have specific learning difficulties (in this case, the
researcher discuss about dyslexic students) cannot make effective method or
strategy even appropriate media in enriching their English vocabulary mastery.
Because of that, in this research, the researcher would offer a media that can be
used in teaching English vocabulary for dyslexic students.
The media used in this research to teach dyslexic stduents at the grade 4 of
SD Pantara South Jakarta is visual media – flashcard. Flashcard is media in
learning vocabulary which consists of picture and words of a vocabulary.
Flashcard can make teaching and learning activity‟s goal be achieved.
Hopefully, the use of flashcard in this research to teach English vocabulary
for dyslexic students can give positive impact and enrich the dyslexic students‟
vocabulary mastery.

D. Research Hypotheses
The hypotheses from this research are expressed as follows:
Ho : There is no effect of using flashcard in teaching English Vocabulary for
dyslexic students at the grade 4 of SD Pantara South Jakarta
Ha : There is an effect of using flashcard in teaching English Vocabulary for
dyslexic students at the grade 4 of SD Pantara South Jakarta.

B. Method of the Research

In this research, the quantitative research is used with pre experimental
study design. It is used in order to know the effect of using flashcard to teach
English vocabulary for dyslexic students and how effective it is used in
teaching English vocabulary for dyslexic students.

C. Population and Sample of the Research

Population in this research is all of dyslexic students at SD Pantara South
Jakarta. The Sample in this research is dyslexic students of class four of SD
Pantara South Jakarta.
This research uses purposive sample. Purposive sample is oriented to
sample choosing where the population and the purpose those were specific
from the research, known by the research from the first.1 It is used in order to
take the data from the sample who truly affected in one case (in this case is
dyslexic students).

D. Technique in Data Collection

The technique in collecting data used in this research is Test and Interview.
a. Pre-test and Post-Test
a. Pre-test
The pre-test is done before the treatment is done to see the
capability of dyslexic students at the grade four of SD Pantara south
Jakarta in English vocabulary mastery. In this session, the dyslexic
students are asked to write 25 vocabularies and its meaning in bahasa
Indonesia mentioned by the researcher. The vocabulary are gotten from
their material book. The score per item is four and they will have 100 if
all of the answers are right. The vocabulary tested are related to the
learning material and learning book used by English teacher to teach

Bumi Aksara: August 2007), p.141 (translated)
 36

his/her class and also related to the dyslexic students’ need to be

strengthened.
b. Post-test
The post-test is done after the treatment is done to see the effect of
using flashcard to teach English vocabulary for dyslexic students at the
grade four of SD Pantara. In this session, the dyslexic students are also
asked to write 25 vocabularies and its meaning in bahasa Indonesia
mentioned by the researcher. The vocabularies are from their material
book. The score per item is four and they will get 100 if all of the
answers are right. The vocabularies tested are related to the learning
material and learning book used by English teacher to teach his/her
class and also related to the dyslexic students’ need to be strengthened.
b. Interview
The interview method involves questioning or discussing issues with
people. It can be a very useful technique for collecting data which would
likely not be accessible using technique such as observation or
questionnaires.2
Informant of this research is the teacher who teach English for
dyslexic students in English subject at the grade four of SD Pantara South
Jakarta.
The Interview session will include some aspects as follows
a. English vocabulary mastery of the dyslexic students at the grade of SD
Pantara South Jakarta
b. Activity in teaching and learning English vocabulary for the dyslexic
students at the grade four of SD Pantara South Jakarta
c. Learning media in English vocabulary for the dyslexic students at the
grade four of SD Pantara.

E. Technique in Data Analysis

The data which were collected from the research are analyzed to have the
research result. The data come from pre-test and post-test session and
interview session done by the researcher. Here is the explanation:
a. Normality Test
The normality of the data was checked through SPSS 20. The
normality test is needed to find out whether or not the data from the
population had been normally distributed. The tests used were
Kolmogorov-Smirnov. It can be said that the data distribution is normal if
the significance level is more than 0.05 which means that Ho is accepted
and Ha is rejected. The steps in testing the normality of the data are as
follows:
1) open the data file that was already inputted,
2) select Analyze
3) select Descriptive Statistics Explore.
4) Input both of the variables in the Dependent List box.
5) click Plots and choose the Normality plots with test,
6) click Continue and OK.
b. Homogeneity Test
After testing the normality of the data, the writer test the
homogeneity of the data. It was done to know whether the data of the
population of research homogeny or not. Homogeneity test is also checked
by using SPSS 20. The tests used were Levene’s test. If the index
significance is more than 0.05, then the data distribution is homogenous
and Ho is accepted. The steps of the test are as follows:
1) select Analyze
2) compare Means
3) selectone-way ANOVA.
4) input the variable. C
5) click Option and check Homogeneity of variance test,
6) click Continue and OK.
 38

c. T-Test
The pre-test and post-test formulation use T-test formula that is adapted
from Budi Susetyo3. The T-test formula is used to compare both the pre-
test and post-test done by the respondents or sample of the research.

The formulation of T-test as follows:

To find t value:

D
D

To find D average / D mean

∑
D = = X 1- X

To find standard deviation of D average / Mean of D

=
D √

To find standard deviation:

√∑ ( D)

D = the couple of score = X1 – X2

∑ = Cumulative of all D value

t = t value

D = Average/mean of D

X = mean ( X 1 = pre-test average, X 2 = post-test average )

n = Number of sample

a. Interview
The interview question and answer will be displayed by the writer
and the result is concluded to gain the fundamental data needed. The
result of interview will be displayed in appendix.

F. Statistical Hypotheses
Statistically, the hypotheses of the research are expressed as follows.
Ho : µA = µB
Ha : µA = µB
In which,
Ho = Null Hypothesis
Ha = Alternative Hypothesis
The criteria used are as follows:
Ho is accepted if –t(1-1/2ɑ) < t < t(1-1/2ɑ) from t distribution list with the
opportunity (1-1/2ɑ). It means that there is not any effect in using flashcard
media to teach vocabulary for dyslexic students.
Otherwise, Ho is rejected in other value. It means that there is an effect in
using flashcard media to teach vocabulary for dyslexic students.

RESEARCH FINDINGS

A. Data Description
As described previously, this research was conducted by teaching and
learning activity. As pre-experimental study, this research was held for
dyslexic students of SD Pantara South Jakarta at the grade four (only one
class). The participants of this research are eleven students. The research data
was taken from pre-test and post-test given by the researcher. The pre-test
was done before the treatment (teaching English vocabulary using flashcard)
begin. Then, the post-test was done after the treatment finished.
The result of pre-test and post-test in this research is described in table 4.1.

4. Interview Analysis
In this research, the writer held an interview session to gather early
data. The data gotten from interview was used as a supporting data in
getting the main data. The respondent of the interview is the English
teacher who teach English lesson at the grade 4 Pantara Elementary
School. The interview consisted three big question topics as follows:
a. English vocabulary mastery of the dyslexic students at the grade of
SD Pantara South Jakarta
b. Activity in teaching and learning English vocabulary for the dyslexic
students at the grade four of SD Pantara South Jakarta
c. Learning media in English vocabulary for the dyslexic students at
the grade four of SD Pantara.

From the interview which had been done, it can be showed the result
like this
a. The dyslexic students at the grade four of Pantara Elementary School
are accustomed in communicating with English even in the simple
one. They are often watching television program which use English.
b. Related to the English teacher, the teacher stated that Vocabulary is
important to be learned because it can support students’ language
mastery. But, the learning way is adjusted to the students’ capability.
c. The kinds of vocabulary which is easy to be learned by dyslexic
students is the vocabulary that similar between oral and written. The
 48

difficult one is the vocabulary which is quite different between oral

and written. However, the teacher did not forcing the students in
mastering written language at first. But, the teacher just emphasizing
the ability of how the students can pronounce the words and how can
they understood the words/vocabulary they said.
d. The dyslexic students’ interest in learning English vocabulary is
quite big because, the teacher held the teaching and learning activity
in fun condition.
e. In conducting teaching and learning activity, usually, the teacher did
a question and answer session continue with the game session and
then the students were given a worksheet related to the material.
f. Usually, at the beginning of a material being taught, the teacher
taught vocabulary first, then after the students recognize and
understand the vocabulary, the teacher teach them the written
vocabulary.
g. The teacher always do enrichment in the teaching and learning
activity with recalling previous material taught before learning new
material.
h. At the last session, the teacher giving the students worksheet to make
students do practice of the learning material so the teacher could see
the accomplishment of the material. If a students could not done the
worksheet maximally, the teacher would give new worksheet to
train the students with the material so that the teaching and learning
material could be done maximally.
i. Actually, the teacher did not have any significant obstacle. However,
the main obstacle faced by the teacher was the difficulties of the
dyslexic students in translating oral language into written language.
Furthermore, the teacher was not mind of it because, related to the
teacher the important one in a language is oral language so the
written language can be learned after the students understand the oral
language and understand what the words’ meant.
 49

j. The teacher oftenly used flashcard as learning media to teach

English vocabulary.
k. In using flashcard, the teacher firstly show the picture and then teach
the vocabulary of the picture.
l. Related to the teacher, flashcard is quite effective in improving the
dyslexic students’ vocabulary mastery.

C. Hypotheses Testing
This research is to answer ‘is there any effect in using flashcard to teach
English vocabulary for dyslexic students at the grade four of SD Pantara?’ To
know the answer, the writer does the hypotheses testing.
In this research, the researcher proposes null Hypothesis (Ho) and
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) as follows:
Ho : µA = µB
Ha : µA = µB
In which,
Ho : There is not any effect of using flashcard in teaching English Vocabulary
for dyslexic students at the grade 4 of SD Pantara South Jakarta
Ha : There is an effect of using flashcard in teaching English Vocabulary for
dyslexic students at the grade 4 of SD Pantara South Jakarta
The criteria used are as follows:

Ho is accepted if –t(1-1/2ɑ) < t < t(1-1/2ɑ) from t distribution list with the
opportunity (1-1/2ɑ). It means that there is not any effect in using flashcard
media to teach vocabulary for dyslexic students.
Otherwise, Ho is rejected in other value. It means that there is an effect in
using flashcard media to teach vocabulary for dyslexic students.
Based on the description of data calculation, it can be inferred that:
1. The t-test value (to) is 6.11
 50

2. The degree of freedom (df) is 20, so the value of ttable in the significance t(1-
1/2ɑ ) / t(0.975) is 2.086.
It shows that to ≥ ttable, it means that null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the
alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.

D. Data Interpretation
Flashcard is one of media that is creatively used in teaching and learning
English vocabulary. The flashcard is a kind of card which consists of pictures
and vocabulary words that is drawn or printed. With the use of flashcard, it is
considered that it can enhance students’ English vocabulary mastery.
Moreover, for dyslexic students, it is not easy to teach English vocabulary
with the specific learning difficulty they have. So, flashcard is a good choice
as a media used for them in enjoying their learning in English vocabulary.
Flashcard can help dyslexic students’ visual aspect in mastering English
vocabulary so, they can memorize the vocabulary and understand the words’
function and how can the students’ use the words in their daily life.
In this research, the result of data analysis using t-test showed the value
of to is 6.11 with the degree of freedom is 20 and the significant level is
0.05/5% and the ttable/t(0.975) is 2.086. It means that to > that ttable (to is higher
than ttable). Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. Then, the
alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It also means that there is positive
effect in using flashcard in teaching vocabulary for dyslexic students.
This research showed the increasing score between pre-test and post-test.
The average score in pre-test is 58.64 and in post-test, the average score is
77.95. The highest score in pre-test is 79 and in post-test, the highest score is
96. The lowest score in pre-test is 30 and the lowest score in post-test is 40.
All of participants’ score in this research is increased after they have studied
English vocabulary with flashcard. From the result of the research, it can be
concluded that there is positive effect in using flashcard to teach English
vocabulary for dyslexic students and the use of flashcard is effective to teach
English vocabulary for dyslexic students.
 CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusion
Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the average score
in pre-test is 58.64 and in post-test is 77.95. Then, it is obtained that ttable is
lower that to in significant level 0.05/t0.975 (t1/2ɑ ) 2.086. In other words, the
null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It
means that there is a positive effect of using flashcard in teaching English
vocabulary for dyslexic students at the fourth grade students of SD Pantara
South Jakarta and the use of flashcard is effective to teach English for
dyslexic students.

B. Suggestion
From the conclusion above, the writer would like to give some suggestions
as follows:
1. For the Teachers
After seeing the result of this research, it can be seen that there is
positive impact in using flashcard to teach English vocabulary for dyslexic
students at the grade four of SD Pantara South Jakarta and the use of it is
effective. So, this research suggests to the teachers who teach English
vocabulary to use flashcard in conducting the teaching and learning
activity. The use of flashcard can help dyslexic students to increase their
vocabulary mastery. Also, the teacher should be able to conduct the
teaching and learning activity creatively in gaining dyslexic students’
learning attention.
However, flashcard is not only one media which can be used to teach
vocabulary. The teachers can use any other media and method appropriate
with dyslexic students’ need in their learning activity. Also, the teachers
should be able to build cooperation between them and their students in the
teaching and learning activity, so the activity can be done maximally.

2. For the Students

For the students, as an important aspect in the teaching and learning
activity, in mastering English vocabulary, they can use flashcard
maximally. Both teacher and learners/students have to have cooperation in
teaching and learning activity. The students may have to pay attention
maximally when the teacher explains the vocabularies and the media, so
the cooperation between teacher and students can be gained. Then, the
students can do repetition in memorizing the vocabularies helped by
teacher to avoid forgetfulness in their vocabulary mastery.
3. For Other Researchers
For other researchers who need to conduct other research with the
similar topic and sample, this research can be a reference before the
research conducts. However, flashcard is not only to teach English word
and its meaning in bahasa Indonesia, but flashcard can be used to show
the words’ function and how can the students’ use the words in their daily
life. Then, it can help the dyslexic students visually in mastering the
vocabularies because of their learning difficulties and they just need
special treatment, method and media in helping their learning activity.
