Abstract

A vocabulary is a repertoire of words that forms the basis for a person to be able to speak. A person’s English skills depend on the quantity and quality of his/her vocabulary. However, learning and remembering vocabulary is not easy for primary school students. This is because English is not a language that is commonly used daily. So a learning media is needed that can help students in learning English vocabulary. English Animation Apps is an application that contains animated videos that can be used by students as a means of learning English vocabulary. This application is a child-friendly application because children can learn while playing, so learning does not become boring. This study is an experimental research that aims to measure the effectiveness of using English Animation Apps to improve the mastery of English vocabulary of grade 5 elementary school students. The students were invited to learn English by using animations in the form of games and light exercises. Furthermore, students were given pre and post-tests that would assess the improvement of English vocabulary mastery. The students are taught to remember several vocabulary words and simple grammar. The vocabulary in this study is measured into 4 aspects, namely: verb vocabulary, noun vocabulary, adjective vocabulary, and adverb vocabulary. The results showed that the application of English Animation Apps can improve students’ mastery of English vocabulary.
