Types of Flash Card
Haycraft (1978:
102-106) states two types of flashcards. They are word flashcards and picture
flashcards. Word flashcards are cards on which words have been printed. When
practicing word order, the teacher can use a number of cards representing all
the words in a sentence.
The cards can
be fixed to
the board, or given to a student, and arranged correctly
either by the class a whole or individual students. The word flashcards also
can be used to practice structure. Then, picture flashcards are
useful for presenting,
practicing and revising
vocabulary or as prompts
for other activities
– for example,
to illustrate the
characters in a dialogue, to help students improvise.
Picture flashcards can be used as prompts for
simple substitution drills.
Picture flashcards are
also useful for
identifying verbs on action.
Flashcard can
be divided into
several types by
Scott (1990), they are:
a. Picture Card
Picture
cards are useful
for the teaching
of vocabulary and reading. These picture cards can be
drawings or cut outs from magazines
or perhaps photos.
It is easiest
to sort these picture
cards according to
size really big
ones for class
work, and smaller ones for
individual or group work
b. Card Games
A card game is any game using playing cards as the
primary things with which
the game is
played, be they
traditional or game-specific. Almost all card games can be made into
language card game and while we
want to concentrate
on games where
some sort of language
interaction is taking
place, we can
also play card
game simply for relaxation. A simple snap game using picture cards is
one of kind of card game.
c. Word/ Sentence cards
Word
cards are useful
for displays and
for work on the
flannel graph. Sentence cards should only be used for
the beginners and only with sentences which are use a lot of. Students
can simply write the question
on one side
and the answer
on the opposite
side and test themselves
repeatedly
Word/ sentence card usually consist of two sides, on
the front of card appears
the word entry
plus whatever supplementary information is needed, on the
back appear a concise definition and an illustration of the word use. In the
using word card and sentence card the
students can match
a word with
the definition in
the other sentence cards.
By this manner
the student can
more interest to learning English.
