Vocabulary teaching in rural elementary schools has its own difficulties, including limited teaching resources, students' varied learning needs and inadequate teacher training. This study aims to examine the barriers faced by teachers and the strategies they use to teach vocabulary in a rural elementary school located in Ngasem District, Bojonegoro Regency. The main objective was to explore authentic classroom experiences to gain a deeper understanding of how teachers deal with these challenges and improve vocabulary teaching. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, which involved interviews and classroom observations with two English teachers from two different schools in the district. The findings showed that the main problem faced by the teachers was the lack of teaching materials. To overcome these challenges, the teachers used various strategies such as task-based learning, explicit instruction with feedback, and repeated exposure to vocabulary. The study concludes that, despite facing significant obstacles, teachers in rural areas show creativity in overcoming difficulties and improving students' vocabulary acquisition. These insights can help stakeholders to better support English language education in rural areas.
