Nouns is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. English nouns are words used to name a person, animal, place, thing, or abstract ideas. Nouns is the most important part of vocabulary, it would be hard to talk about something without nouns because noun can serve as the subject or object.Teaching media has been used in this research to improve the English noun vocabulary mastery. Colored Pictures is media which can help the students to improve their English noun vocabulary mastery.

  Bahasa Inggris dengan menggunakan Colored Pictures untuk Siswa Kelas Lima Tahun Akademik 2014/2015 (Penelitian Tindakan Kelas di SDN Wedarijaksa 02 Pati) Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan Universitas Muria Kudus.

  Advisors:(i) FajarKartika,S.S,M.Hum.(ii) Dra.Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M. Pd.

  Kata kunci: Penguasaan kosa kata benda bahasa Inggris, Colored Pictures Dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, hal terpenting yang perlu di perhatikan adalah kosa kata, khususnya untuk anak-anak seperti murid Sekolah Dasar. Kosa kata adalah salah satu bagian terpenting dari kelas kata. Kosa kata benda sangat penting karena fungsi dari kosa kata benda itu sendiri, struktur kosa kata benda digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari. Kosa kata benda bahasa Inggris adalah kata yang digunakan untuk menyebut nama orang, hewan, tempat, benda, atau ide pemikiran. Kata benda adalah bagian terpenting dari kosa kata, akan sangat sulit untuk berbicara tenatang sesuatu tanpa menggunakan kata benda karena kata benda dapat berfungsi sebagai subjek atau objek dalam kalimat. Media pembelajaran telah digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata bahasa Inggris. Colored Pictures adalah media yang dapat membantu siswa untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata benda mereka.

  Penelitian ini adalah sebuah penelitian tindakan kelas. Pada satu siklus

penelitian tindakan kelas terdiri dari 4 langkah; perencanaan, tindakan,

pengamatan dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian ini adalah kelas lima B dari SDN

Wedarijaksa 02 Pati yang terdiri dari 26 siswa. Pada penelitian ini peneliti

menggunakan dua instrumen yaitu tes dan lembar observasi.

  Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan pada

penguasaan kosa kata bahasa Inggris siswa diajarkan menggunakan media

Colored Pictures . Itu dibuktikan dari hasil tes. Bukti tersebut bisa dilihat dari

peningkatan nilai yang diperoleh siswa dari siklus 1 ke siklus 2. Di siklus 1,

banyak siswa yang mendapatkan nilai di bawah KKM. 18 siswa gagal dan 8 lulus

dalam mengerjakan tes yang pertama. Rata-rata nilai siswa di siklus 1 yaitu 63,2.

Sedangkan di siklus 2, 23 siswa lulus dan 3 siswa gagal dalam mengerjakan tes.

Rata-rata nilai siswa di siklus 2 adalah 74.

  Peningkatan juga terjadi pada kegiatan siswa. Itu bisa terlihat di siklus 2.

Banyak siswa yang aktif di dalam kelas. Kebanyakan mereka merespon dan

memerhatikan guru selama process pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Kondisi ini

berbeda dengan sebelumnya dimana banyak siswa tidak aktif di dalam

kelas. Melihat dari proses dan hasil dari penelitian ini, Penulis menyimpulkan

  bahwa Colored pictures dapat meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata benda bahasa Inggris siswa kelas lima SDN Wedarijaska 02 Pati tahun akademik 2014/2015 dan penggunaaan Colored Pictures bisa membantu siswa menjadi aktif di dalam kelas.

  Penulis menyarankan guru bahasa inggris seharusnya menggunakan sebuah media yang bagus dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Colored Pictures dapat digunakan sebagai sebuah media yang bagus pada pengajaran menulis. Faktanya, media ini dapat meningkatkan penguasaan kosa kata benda bahasa Inggris siswa kelas lima SDN Wedarijaska 02 Pati tahun akademik 2014/2015
