Vocabulary mastery is very important for the students to get successful in learning English skills. However, in fact most of the students still have low or lack of vocabularies, because they still have some problems to get them. The first problem is; they can not pronounce the single word correctly and they do not know the meaning of the word. Thus, they will have a problem in communication through speaking. The second problem is; they do not often listen the English, because English as Foreign Language in Indonesia, so they only listen and learn English in the classroom or in the English subject. The last problem is the teacher rarely speaks English in teaching learning process. It is caused most of the students still do not know much if the teacher speaks English fully. The Multimedia can be defined as the combination of text, sound, pictures, animation, and video (Suyanto, 2008: 101). Thus, in this research the researcher used the multimedia through combined text, sound, and picture. Then, a Flash Card is Cahya (2011: 15) stated that flash cards are small cards, big enough to carry on it: part of sentences, phrases, single words, minimal pairs and so on. This study was an experimental research. Population of this research is the fourth grade students of Elementary School 15 Padang who was totally 157 students. The sample was selected by using cluster random sampling technique. The instruments were vocabulary test. The data were analyzed manually by using t-test formula. The mean score of the class that was taught by using multimedia was 78, but the mean score of the class that was taught by using Flash Cards is 75,4. Therefore, the multimedia is a good media that can be applied by the teacher to improve student’s vocabulary and can attract student’s attention to study English.
