Abstract

This research aims to explore The Experiences of Impelementing Fun Learning Methods to Optimize English Vocabulary Mastery (Case Study of the Elementary School Suku Anak Dalam in Pelakar Jaya) Sarolangun Regency, Jambi Province. The study was motivated by the low engagement and poor performance in English language learning among SAD students, often caused by conventional and unengaging teaching methods. This study used a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on structured interviews with 24 students aged 6 to 9 years old. Data were collected through direct interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings revealed that the implementation of Fun Learning through games, humor, and storytelling significantly enhanced students' emotional engagement, motivation, participation, and vocabulary acquisition. Students reported feeling more interested, less anxious, and more confident in learning English. The fun and interactive environment helped them remember vocabulary more easily and encouraged active involvement in class activities. The study concludes that Fun Learning can serve as an effective and culturally sensitive approach to improving English vocabulary mastery in marginalized communities such as the Suku Anak Dalam.
