have chance to forget their memorized vocabulary, more over for lazy students.
Some English teaching experts regard that word cards technique is an out of date method; it does not require the students learn English
communicatively; it is not being used in communicative purpose. Today, in Indonesia, the students need to learn English language
communicatively; students must be able to express, interact each other through English language, understand the reading passage, meanwhile,
word cards do not give all of what students need.
