middle of the deck and the student forfeits hisher turn. Play continues until all of the cards have been defined. The winner is the person with the
most cards. The positive effects of vocabulary teaching are that it can provide help
when learners feel it is most needed. This is particularly true for vocabulary teaching that occurs in the on text of message-focused
activities involving listening, speaking, reading and writing, and where the teaching deals with items that learners see as being very relevant for the
activity. Table 1 lists ways of quickly dealing with words. The small amount of research on such teaching indicates that it has a strong effect on
vocabulary learning. The first decision to make when teaching a word is to decide whether the word is worth spending time on or not. If the word is a
low frequency word and is not a useful technical word and not one that is particularly useful for the learners, it should be dealt with as quickly as
possible. Usually when words come up in the context of a reading or listening text, or of learners need a word or phrase when speaking or
writing, they need quick help which does not interrupt the activity too much. Sometimes however a teacher may want to spend time on a word. In
general, time should be spent on high frequency words or words that fill a language need that the learners have. When deciding how to spend time on
a word, it is useful to consider the learning burden of the word.
D. Relevant Study
The research about flash card has done by Rasibah that was “The
Effectiveness of Using Flash Card in Teaching Simple Past Tense ”.

the students’ understanding simple past tense, because by using this technique is more effective to teach simple past tense than just teaching past tense by
presentation only. In fact, the result of analysis of interpretation of the data shows that teaching simple past tense is probably more effective by using flash card it
can be seen from the result of the test. By using flash card the similar card with vocabulary card, the researcher
hopes that the students will be interested in grammar, and then it is easier for the researcher to transfer her knowledge to the students. This is suitable such as what
the researcher does to her research.
E. The Conceptual Development of Action of Planning
Vocabulary is one of the essentials part in language which are taught for every language learner. Vocabulary is the words used in general; there is no limit
of fields or users, general in meaning and use. Vocabulary has also the important rules in understanding the language. Where, vocabulary does not only smallest
units of language but is must be with grammatical rule in order to be correct. It will be useless if the learners do not know how to form new sentence if they do
not know noun, verb, adjective and adverb. The application of vocabulary card games which is addressed by
researcher hope the vocabulary which will be given to the students based on the material, till vocabulary card concept has been prepared by researcher in
improving students’ vocabulary of noun, verb, adjective and adverb can be used in
daily activity in English class. As the statement above that vocabulary card make students interested in English lesson and basic grammar such as the part of speech
and it is easier for the researcher to transfer her knowledge to the students. Where, multiple choices are chosen as the research intervention. This is done to know
how long the students’ ability in vocabulary especially in part of speech such as noun, verb, adjective and, adverb.
From the statements above the researcher concludes that vocabulary card in teaching vocabulary in English language can improve
students’ English
vocabulary. So, the more teachers use vocabulary card the more vocabulary students will have.
