Vocabulary holds significant importance in a language as it enables communication between individuals. However, students often struggle with comprehending and retaining vocabulary. Thus, it is crucial to employ effective techniques in language learning to assist students in acquiring vocabulary. One such method is the use of flashcards to teach vocabulary. Flashcards aid students in comprehending words. This study focused on first-year students at Universitas Tama Jagakarsa and utilized the classroom action research approach in two cycles. The initial pre-test revealed poor scores, averaging 49.1. Following the implementation of flashcard-based instruction in the first cycle, the post-test scores significantly improved to 66.3, indicating notable progress. Consequently, a second cycle was conducted to further enhance results, which yielded a post-test score of 87.4, successfully achieving the desired target. The findings demonstrate that teaching and learning vocabulary through flashcards can effectively enhance students' vocabulary skills.
