This study aims to determine the effect of audio-visual media on the vocabulary of fourth-grade students at SDN Setonopande 1. The background of this study is based on the low vocabulary acquisition of students caused by conventional teaching methods and the lack of interesting learning media. This study employs a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test method. The sample consists of 24 fourth-grade students. The instrument used is a vocabulary test covering aspects of word form, meaning, and usage. The results indicate a significant increase in post-test scores compared to pretest scores, with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings indicate that audio-visual media, such as YouTube videos and interactive PowerPoint presentations, are effective in improving students' vocabulary comprehension as well as increasing their engagement and motivation to learn. In conclusion, the use of audio-visual media is an appropriate and effective learning strategy for improving elementary school students' vocabulary acquisition.
