ABSTRACT
Sayyidah Indah Nadella Ahmad, 2025: Utilizing Subtitle of Disney Movie Clips
to Improve Vocabulary
Key words: Vocabulary, Subtitles, Disney Movie Clips, Classroom Action
Research.
This study aimed to improve students‘ vocabulary mastery by utilizing
subtitles of Disney movie clips as a media-based learning strategy. Conducted as
Classroom Action Research (CAR) at SMKN 01 Jember in class X AK 2 during
the 2023/2024 academic year, this study was driven by the students‘ limited
vocabulary knowledge, lack of motivation, and difficulty in understanding and
using vocabulary contextually in English learning.
The research followed the Kemmis and McTaggart model which consisted
of four stages: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. It was carried out in
two cycles. Each cycle included two meetings for learning activities and one
meeting for a post-test. Vocabulary instruction focused on nouns, adjectives, and
adverbs, presented through engaging tasks using subtitled clips from Disney
movies—Luca in Cycle 1 and Tangled in Cycle 2. Data collection techniques
included tests, observation, interviews, and documentation. The vocabulary
assessment emphasized four indicators: meaning recognition, word association,
word formation, and contextualized vocabulary use.
The results showed a significant improvement in students‘ vocabulary
mastery. In the preliminary study, none of the students met the Minimum Mastery
Criterion (KKM) of 75. After implementing Cycle 1, only 31.43% of the students
achieved the target. However, following improvements in Cycle 2, 62.86% of the
students successfully met or exceeded the KKM. These findings indicate that the
use of subtitled Disney movie clips is effective in enhancing students‘ vocabulary
acquisition in a contextual, engaging, and enjoyable manner. It also increased
student motivation and active participation in the classroom.
