Abstract

This study investigates the application of the mind mapping technique as a teaching strategy to optimize students’ English vocabulary learning. This qualitative research involved one English teacher as the subject, and the data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The data were then analyzed using descriptive analysis. The findings reveal that the teacher’s strategy in implementing mind mapping plays a significant role in improving students’ vocabulary mastery. However, several challenges emerged, such as limited explanation, time constraints, and the lack of additional materials, which caused difficulties in spelling and memorization. To overcome these problems, the teacher combined multiple strategies, including presenting vocabulary items with diagrams, using visual aids, and emphasizing clear word structures. Furthermore, the teacher applied essential mind mapping principles, such as using colors, images, keywords, associations, and central images to present ideas more effectively. These strategies ultimately made vocabulary learning more engaging, creative, and effective, enabling students to memorize words more easily, quickly, and enjoyably.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental aspect of English language learning for children, as it serves as the foundation for developing other language skills. However, phonological differences between Indonesian and English often cause difficulties in reading and pronunciation. This article aims to examine the role of the syllabic method in developing children’s English vocabulary through a Community Service Program (PKM) using a Small Group Study approach. The program was conducted in Tenam Village, Muara Bulian District, Batang Hari Regency, involving 3 out of 15 children who experienced difficulties in reading and pronouncing English vocabulary. The method employed consisted of training and mentoring conducted over nine meetings, encompassing preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. The results indicate that the application of the syllabic method improved children’s reading, writing, and pronunciation skills, with the most significant improvement observed in pronunciation. These findings suggest that the syllabic method is an effective and appropriate approach for enhancing English vocabulary learning among young learners.
