Abstract

The multimodality method represents an effective approach for students seeking to enhance their vocabulary. The eighth-grade students from Al-Ikhlash Addary DDI Takkalasi Barru exhibited deficiencies in vocabulary, prompting this research to investigate the impact of employing visual and auditory multimodality techniques to enhance their vocabulary proficiency. A quasi-experimental research method was employed to collect the data, which was subsequently analyzed using the statistical software package SPSS. The pre-test results indicate that 6 participants (20%) demonstrated proficiency, while 7 participants (23%) exhibited a satisfactory level of understanding. Following the implementation of the treatment, the results of the post-test indicate that 8 participants (27%) demonstrated an excellent level of proficiency, 10 (33%) exhibited a very good level of proficiency, and 12 (40%) demonstrated a good level of proficiency. The results demonstrate that the mean pre-test score is 63.13, while the mean post-test score is 89.43. The findings of this research demonstrate that the utilisation of multimodal methods within the classroom environment facilitates enhance vocabulary development among students.
