Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the "Fill the Missing Words" method in improving English vocabulary acquisition among grade 4 students at SDN Ngraseh Dander Bojonegoro. The method was implemented by combining animal-themed pictures with sentences containing missing words in learning activities. The research employed a Classroom Action Research approach conducted in two cycles involving 20 students as subjects. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, observations, and interviews. The results showed a significant increase in average post-test scores from 80 in the first cycle to 90 in the second cycle, as well as an increase in the percentage of students achieving the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) from 75% to 95%. Additionally, student engagement and motivation improved, with 90% of students actively participating in group discussions. The study concludes that the "Fill the Missing Words" method is effective in enhancing vocabulary mastery and developing students’ critical thinking skills through contextual and interactive learning.
