Multimedia Based English Vocabulary Lesson in The Elementary School: A Classroom Action Research (CAR) Approach

English vocabulary mastery in elementary school is considered low, proven by students' shared understanding of English. Teaching English vocabulary to children is not an easy problem. If taught by force, it can cause children to become bored quickly. For the results of learning English better, the teacher must create a learning process that is more fun and more practical. Learning multimedia-based English vocabulary is an alternative that can be taken. Using computer media can help children (in this case, elementary school students) to improve their ability in mastering English vocabulary and attract elementary school students to learn more fun. This study aims to create a basic learning model of multimedia-based English vocabulary in elementary school students in improving essential English vocabulary mastery. This research was conducted on elementary school students in the city of Makassar. This study used Classroom Action Research techniques, a learning application in animated media pictures and writing. Using multimedia is expected to improve the mastery of English vocabulary in elementary schools quickly. From the research results obtained, with two cycles of learning using multimedia alone, about 90% of students have been able to read, interpret, and write vocabulary correctly, which if only using conventional techniques, there are still about 73% of students who cannot.
