Summary
The first thing that people do in learning foreign language especially English is to master the vocabulary. If the learners have limited vocabulary or can not recognize the meaning of the words, they will be unable to participate in the conversation, unable to express their ideas, or unable to ask for information It is why the vocabulary becomes important in acquiring a foreign language. The most students, especially in the fourth grade of SD Unggulan Aisyiyah Bantul, found some difficulties in mastering vocabulary They are still difficult to memorize the new words. It can be seen when the students are given a test by the teacher, they find difficulties in answering the test because they miss some words They still find many difficulties in expressing their thought, being unconfident and shy to speak because of having limited vocabularies or no motivation to learn English.
