This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of flashcard media in improving the English vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Tanggulangin and its impact on their learning interest. The research employed a quantitative method with a pre-experimental One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Twenty students were given pretests and posttests, along with treatment using flashcard media. The data analysis showed an increase in the average score from 71.00 to 75.75 after the treatment. The paired sample t-test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. Therefore, flashcards proved effective in enhancing students’ English vocabulary understanding and can serve as an engaging and interactive alternative learning media.
