<![CDATA[This classroom action research (CAR) is based on the low mastery of Arabic vocabulary among first-grade elementary school students, which is caused by monotonous learning methods and a lack of visual media support, resulting in students' language skills not developing optimally. This study aims to improve students' vocabulary mastery through the application of the Direct Method (ṭarīqah mubāsyarah) by utilizing concrete objects in the classroom environment as contextual visual learning media. The method used was Kemmis & McTaggart's collaborative classroom action research (CAR), which was carried out in two action cycles with 19 students. Data collection was conducted through oral and written tests, observations, and interviews. The main results of the study showed a very significant and consistent improvement from the pre-cycle stage to cycle II. The average student scores increased significantly after the method was applied. This improvement was supported by qualitative findings that students became more active, enthusiastic, and able to directly associate words with their meanings, which resulted in more accurate pronunciation and stronger vocabulary retention. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the Direct Method based on concrete objects is proven to be effective in improving the process and enhancing the learning outcomes of Arabic vocabulary for students]]>
