One media used in teaching and learning is Mentimeter, an interactive web that can allow teachers and students to build interactions as a learning tool.The study was carried out with the subjects of the 8th grade students at one of the private junior high schools in Cilacap. The research aims to identify the students’ problems in learning English vocabulary and to use the Mentimeter application to improve the students’ English vocabulary mastery. The research method used Classroom Action Research. The research shows that the main problems that arose in 8th grade students of one of the private junior high schools in Cilacap were a lack of understanding of English vocabulary and interest in the learning media used by the teacher.
