Why Use Flash Card
Komachali (2012: 4)
Flash cards are useful for drilling new
letters, syllables, words, and other
information. They are normally used in a
classroom, but can also be used more informally. A flashcard or flash card is a
set of cards bearing information, as words
or numbers, on
either or both
sides, used in
classroom drills or
in private study.
Flash cards can
bear vocabulary, historical dates,
formulas or any
subject matter that
can be learned
via a question
and answer format. Flash cards are widely used as a
learning drill to aid memorization by way of spaced repetition.
One way to add new
words to one‟s vocabularies is by locating words in the dictionary and learning
what they mean. But this is a slow process to increase word power. Another way
is learning through vocabulary card or flash card. As we listen
and read, we
often meet new
words by flash
card. Word lists
and flash cards
can be used
for the initial exposure to
a word, but
most students continue
to use them
to review it
afterwards. One main
advantage of flash cards is that they can be taken almost
anywhere and studied when one has a free moment
