ABSTRACT This final project is written based on job training done at SDN Tugu Jebres No.120, Surakarta. The purposes of this final project are to describe the difficulties of English vocabulary teaching process to 4th grade students in SDN Tugu Jebres No.120, Surakara and find out the advantages of doing outdoor activity in English vocabulary teaching process in SDN Tugu Jebres No.120, Surakarta. By observing the class, interviewing the students and directly teaching at the fourth grade class, I can complete the project. The processes of teaching English vocabulary consist of some activities. They are greeting, BKOF (Building Knowledge of the field), modeling of the text, joint construction and individual construction of the text (Exercises), and Ending the lesson. The materials used to teach English vocabulary were taken from “FOCUS” book provided by school. During the English teaching vocabulary process, there are some difficulties. The difficulties are related to the problems both the teacher and the students. The problems of the students are memorizing, understanding text, pronouncing the words, and their paying attention to the teacher explanation. Meanwhile, the problems of the teacher were classroom management, the condition of the students, the limited time and the limited facilities. To handle this problem, I try different way to teach. This is by doing outdoor activity, sometimes. It can not do every meeting. I can take advantage from this way. Students easy to remember, because they can see the real object directly also they do no get bored in learning process, not only in class.
