Abstract

As a reflection, when latHIVa was established as a non-structural institution at UIN Sumatera Utara (UiN SU) to tackle HIV and AIDS, the discovery of HIV and AIDS cases at the international level were around 34.3 million people living with HIV, while in 2019 it was estimated that 36.9 million people living with HIV. The cases of HIV and AIDS at the national level in 2000 were 1500 people living with HIV / AIDS (PLWHA) while in 2019 there were 349,882 PLWHA in North Sumatra, and in 2000 there were 30 people living with HIV, while the cases of HIV / AIDS at the level of North Sumatra Province up to August 2019 were 9362 PLWHA. The description of the HIV and AIDS case above describes the epidemic process since the formation of the UIN Sumatera Utara's latHIVa until August 2019. The HIV and AIDS epidemic is like an iceberg phenomenon, which means the numbers of HIV and AIDS cases found above are not the actual numbers. HIV and AIDS do exist. Therefore, WHO (World Health Organization) has formulated that to find out the real numbers, the numbers obtained must be multiplied by 100-200. Thus, if 9362 cases of HIV and AIDS in North Sumatra is  multiplied by 100, then there might be 936,200 cases of PLWHA in North Sumatra. Thus, there are around 900 thousand PLWHA who have not been found in North Sumatra.

Abstract

English vocabulary learning is an important part of language development, especially for students with intellectual disabilities who often require concrete and visual learning support. Among various instructional media, vocabulary picture cards are widely used because they provide visual representations that may facilitate vocabulary learning. This study aimed to explore teachers’ perceptions of the usefulness of vocabulary picture cards in teaching English vocabulary to students with intellectual disabilities. The study employed a qualitative case study design involving one English teacher at a Special Needs School in Deli Serdang, Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed three major themes. First, picture cards were perceived as useful for attracting students’ attention, accelerating vocabulary understanding, and encouraging participation. Second, picture cards were considered feasible because they were practical, flexible, easy to combine with other teaching methods, and durable for long-term use. Third, several challenges were identified, including difficulties in visualizing abstract vocabulary, limitations in developing advanced communication skills, and maintaining students’ attention from boredom. Overall, vocabulary picture cards were perceived as valuable instructional media when integrated with broader teaching strategies.
