Concept of Pictures (Definition and Procedure)
a) Definition of Pictures
There are many ways, which can be used,
in teaching vocabulary. However, there are only few that are considered very
effective and efficient. One of them is through pictures. Pictures can be used
to explain the meaning of vocabulary items. Moreover, they are easy to get and
we can find them on magazines, books, even we may draw the pictures by
ourselves.
A picture can give some description of
something for instance, the teacher show the picture of animal being at zoo to
the students. They may think that there are many animal (domestic and wild
animal) like lions, monkeys, elephants, etc. in addition, it can motivate them
to mention or say what they see in the pictures to each other or to the teacher
during learning process.
Zarei & Salimi (2012: 45) Picture is an easy way for simultaneous attention to the building
blocks of second
language learning. Using picture
for presenting new vocabulary has been a fundamental
principle in many methods and the using of picture activities
form a mental link
at the early
stages of second
language learning, especially if
it is created
by the students themselves.
Leny (2006:
43) Vocabulary is one of the important factors in all language teaching
learning and the students must continually learn new words as they learn
structure and as they practice sound system, but most of the students are not
interested and motivated at all. Therefore, the writer uses pictures as one of
the strategies in teaching that benefits the students in many ways.
Brno (2009:
17) the picture is
used in a
more meaningful and
‘real-life-communicative’ way than being just displayed for students to
say what they can actually see. This will probably have a greater impact on the
retention of a piece of vocabulary again and also subsequently on the ability
to use it in communication.

Procedure of Pictures
Marzano’s 2003 Six
Step Process Teaching Academic Vocabulary
1. Provide a description, explanation, or
example of the new term.
2. Ask students to restate the description,
explanation, or example in their own words.
3. Ask students to construct a picture and
representing the word.
4. Engage students periodically in activities
that help them add to their knowledge of the terms in their notebooks.
5. Periodically ask students to discuss the
terms with one another.
6. Involve students periodically in games that
allow them to play with terms.
Iruio (2000: 98) In
order to teach students to guess at the meaning of phrases to knowing all of
the words and structures of the sentences by using pictures.
1. Use pictures as a media.
2. Modify your speech to emphasize key words, simplify
vocabulary and grammar, use related ideas and talk out of context.
3. Students will use English when they are
ready. They sometimes experience a
“silent period” which can last days or weeks.
4. Focus Attention on Key Vocabulary.
