The objectives of this report are to describe the teaching process of vocabulary using the pictures, to find out the problems occuring in teaching process and the solutions to the problems of the fifth grade students in SD Kristen Manahan Surakarta. In the job training, I did class observation, made a lesson plan, and have interviewed the English teacher to know the teaching and learning process in the class. In the teaching process of vocabulary using pictures media, I used four steps: building knowledge of the field, modeling of the text, joint construction of the text, and independent construction of the text. In BKOF, I prepared the material by showing some pictures related to the topic. In modeling of the text, I used some pictures to introduce the vocabularies about the topic to attract the student’s attention. In the joint construction of the text, I gave worksheets in group to the students and asked them to fill in the blank based on the picture. In the last step, independent construction of the text, I gave worksheets in individual to the students and asked them to describe the picture by their own words. In the end of the teaching and learning, the students were able to mention and write the simple words though some of them still had some problems in limited vocabulary, the clarity and the size of the pictures.
