Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana penggunaan kartu flash (flashcard) dapat membantu siswa kelas VII di SMP Negeri 2 Kisaran dalam meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata. Telah diakui bahwa kosakata siswa masih kurang, dan hal ini disebabkan oleh ketidakmampuan mereka dalam menghafal kata-kata. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menggunakan kartu flash sebagai media guna membantu siswa kelas VII di SMP Negeri 2 Kisaran dalam meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata.
Penelitian ini diklasifikasikan sebagai penelitian tindakan (action research) yang terdiri dari dua siklus. Model Burns dari Kemmis dan Taggart, yang mencakup empat tahap dalam satu siklus penelitian, perencanaan, tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Sebanyak tiga puluh siswa dari kelas VII-7 berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kosakata siswa.
Metode yang digunakan untuk memperoleh data adalah observasi dan tes. Peneliti menemukan bahwa kosakata siswa mengalami peningkatan berdasarkan temuan penelitian. Hal ini diperkuat oleh analisis terhadap hasil tes yang rendah pada siklus 1 dan peningkatannya ke kategori tinggi pada siklus 2. Dengan demikian, pertumbuhan kosakata siswa dengan menggunakan kartu flash masuk ke dalam kategori baik (tinggi).
