Abstract

Vocabulary learning in the context of English language teaching was a key aspect in forming students' language proficiency in the English material. Previous studies demonstrated that students with a limited vocabulary may encounter difficulties in understanding and learning material in English. Students frequently faced challenges in the domains of adjectives, verbs, and nouns. Previous studies demonstrate that students often showed an attraction to learn knowledge through visualization. This research emphasizes the potency of visuals as effective media and mnemonic techniques as tools for memory retention. Thus, the use of visual-based mnemonics assisted students in establishing connections between the visual image and the vocabulary word.This study utilized a qualitative research method with an approach based on a case study design. The research was conducted at junior high school in Banyuwangi, involving the participation of 25 seventh-grade students. The research findings covered three key areas that visual-based mnemonic technique can help students: 1) maintain memory retention of vocabulary learning; 2) facilitate collaborative writing brainstorming; and 3) support descriptive paragraph drafting and development. In conclusion, the research demonstrated the effectiveness of visual-based mnemonic techniques in enchanted vocabulary learning and writing ability among seventh-grade students.
