The aim of this research is to know what happened during the
implementation of ostensive means, whether or not the implementation of
ostensive means in teaching vocabulary can improve the students’ vocabulary
mastery and the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of ostensive
means. The research focuses on solving the problems of fourth grade students of
SDN 02 Jetis. The problems are the difficulties in memorizing meaning of English
words, the students’ pronunciation and their interest in English lesson.
The research was conducted from May to June 2011. The subject of the
study was fourth grade students of SDN 02 Jetis. The researcher conducted the
action in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of six steps: identifying the problem,
planning the action, implementing the action, observing the action, reflecting the
action, and revising the plan. To collect the data, the researcher uses observational
technique consisting of observation and interview. The observation is reflected in
field notes and photographs. There are five steps to analyze the data. They were
assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the data, building data
interpretations and reporting the outcomes. To find the improvement of the
students’ vocabulary mastery after the research implementation, the researcher
conducts tests. The tests were pre-test and post tests. The researcher analyzes the
mean scores of the tests.
The result of the research shows that ostensive means can improve the
students’ vocabulary mastery. With ostensive means, the students can grasp and
remember the meaning of new words. They can name and pronounce the words in
the correct pronunciation. The students’ involvement in the classroom also
improved. Combining ostensive means and crossword puzzle can improve the
students’ spelling skill and their concentration in teaching learning vocabulary
process. The students’ vocabulary improvement is reflected in the tests scores.
The mean score between pre-test and cycle 1 post test improves from 4.5 to 6.8. It
improves again in cycle 2 post test which was 8.1. It shows that there was a
significant improvement of the students’ vocabulary mastery before and after the
research. Based on the results of the study, the researcher concludes that the
implementation of ostensive means improves the students’ vocabulary mastery.
In line with the result, the researcher suggests that ostensive means is one
of the effective technique presentations as to increase the students’ enthusiasm
and their achievement in learning English. This result hopefully will motivate
teachers to use ostensive means in their classroom, especially when teaching
vocabulary to fourth year students of elementary school.
