English is an international language recognized in the United Nations
(UN).
The development of vocabulary is one of the most important
aspects of learning the English language3. Vocabulary mastery is essential
to applying all other English language skills such as listening, speaking,
reading and also writing skills. But the broad scope of terminology
presents difficulties for teachers and students alike. A comprehensive
vocabulary is the key to help students learn English. Every word must be
consistently taught to the children while they practice the sound system
and learn structure4. Good vocabulary develops the core communicating,
learning and thinking. Because without vocabulary there is no
communicate, read, and write can existed. But nowadays, many students
complained about the difficulty in understanding the English subject
because of less vocabulary they had. That problem should be known by the
teachers as the evaluation in their teaching.
Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah (MI) Nurussalam is an elementary level
educational institution that narrates the curriculum with one of the
compulsory subjects, English. English learned at the elementary school
certainly starts from the appropriate or basic language level suitable for
children. The learning method in grade 5 Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah (MI)
Nurussalam is teacher-centered learning, while students only listen to the
teacher's explanation of the material being taught or also known by
conventional method. In other words, it has not used appropriate media in
the teacher's explanation of students. In addition, with the learning method
that is usually taught, students do not pay too much attention to the teacher
when explaining lessons in class or it can be said that students are not
interested in the teaching material. So, students pay less attention to the
teacher and prefer to play or talk in class with others.

The material was taken from the coursebook and also used the
Kurikulum Merdeka. The book has 4 chapter and being taught 2 each
semester. The students have the problem that they easy to forget the
material they learned. Because of that, they had low marks in English
subject. Many students also didn’t know the good pronounciation in
English, they still pronounce according to the authentic word not
pronounciation. A half of them also dislike English since English is the
hard lesson.
In the learning process, a fun milieu is needed to be able to arouse
the enthusiasm of students in learning. This is so that students can have
high self-confidence, creative and innovative mindset. To achieve this, of
course, the role of teachers is very important in choosing appropriate
learning strategies and teaching media used.
Teaching media in classroom learning is needed because of several
things, students can receive lessons well in class, students are able to
adjust to the language environment well and also students can be
interested during language learning in class. One of the teaching media
that can be applied to elementary school-age children is pop-up books as
the media.
The pop-up book is a media that is launched by three-dimensional
pictures inside the book. It provides an interesting visualization for the
viewers. Pop-up books can be mixed with the kinds of English material
and engaging way to present the vocabulary 5. Pop-up books are a kind of
creative medium that helps kids be more imaginative, increase their
appreciation for books, and develop more creative mindsets. Purposes
applied pop-up books as the learning media are; first, to attract the
attention of learners in the teaching and learning process. Second, to make
it easier for students to understand new vocabulary taught in class using
these media. Third, to increase students' interest in learning while in class.
Based on the explanation above, it is concluded the preliminary
interview with a teacher that students are less interested in the material

taught because the delivery and media used by teachers have not been
effective and innovative. The teacher only taught the material based on the
coursebook without any media used. For this reason, learning media using
pop-up books is the right choice of media to be applied in grade 5 MI
Nurussalam. Therefore, the researcher wants to discuss this issue with a
study entitled "The Influence of English Pop-Up Book on Vocabulary
Mastery of Fifth-Grade Students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah (MI)
Nurussalam Mantingan"

In learning English as Foreign Language, we have to master four skill that
consist of listening, speaking, reading and writing. These skills can not be
separating from the vocabulary. Vocabulary is the one of prime things to
great language achievement. A vocabulary is an essential component for
knowledge and skills. In short, vocabulary is a collection of words from a
language that are used to meaningfully communicate the speaker's
thoughts or feelings. 7.
Additionally, a few professionals discuss the significance of
mastering vocabulary. Learning vocabulary is more crucial than learning
grammar, according to David Wilkins, as "nothing can be conveyed
without vocabulary; very little can be conveyed with grammar." In
conclusion, speech plays a critical role in meaningful communication, and
vocabulary is one of the fundamental components of language.
Susanto (2017) distinguishes between two categories of
vocabulary: receptive and productive 8.
Receptive vocabulary is composed of terms that students can
identify and comprehend in context but are unable to appropriately
produce. When language is seen in a reading context but is not used
in speech or writing, learners can recognize it. Receptive
vocabulary learning is sometimes referred to be a passive process
since the student merely takes in other people's ideas.
Learners' productive vocabulary consists of words that they
comprehend, can pronounce correctly, and can employ in speech
and writing. It involves the capacity for timely writing or speaking
in addition to a receptive vocabulary.

Pop-up books are the unique and engaging form of pictures that combines
art and science to bring illustrations to life in three-dimensional.
Pop-up books are a kind of creative medium that helps kids be
more imaginative, increase their appreciation for books, and develop more
creative mindsets. Pop-up book can entertain the students and give more
interesting for learning. The material launched in the form of conspicuous
things that give the great attention9.
Purpose applied the pop-up books as the media. This is first, to
attract the attention of learners in the teaching and learning process.
Second, to make it easier for students to understand new vocabulary taught
in class using these media. Third, to increase students' interest in learning
while in class.
According to Sunarti’s research that Van Dyak stated that pop-up
books have many profits10, such as:
1. Acclaimed using in teaching complicated vocabulary
2. Described visual things, support students in developing things with
pictures
3. Add new experiences

tool that every individual uses in their daily lives. Mastery of vocabulary
skills is very important. In this case, it is expected that students can master
every vocabulary taught in class. The lack of student vocabulary is
certainly centered on several aspects that accompany it. It is like the
accompanying medium and teaching the vocabulary itself. Teaching media
is a tool that is intended to assist teachers in conveying explanations to
students in class. One of the teaching media offered is Pop-Up Books, a
tool in the form of three-dimensional pictures inside the book to make it
easier for students to understand and more interesting to learn vocabulary.

hypothesis, the instrument of collecting data, the technique of data collection, and
also technique of data analysis. All the sections will be explained below.

Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)21. The Null Hypothesis is no existed in the
influence between the variables in the instrument. Alternative
Hypothesis defines that there is an influence between the variables of
research. It means there is an influence between English pop-up books
