This research aims to determine the significant influence of using flashcards with digital media in increasing students’ vocabulary and how to apply flashcards with digital media. This research was carried out in class seven A of SMP UNISMUH Makassar. The research methodology used a quantitative (pre-experimental) one-group pre-test post-test design. The sample in this study was class seven, a total of 28 students. This research used simple random sampling. Data collection procedures in this research used pre-test and post-test, with data analysis techniques using paired sample t-test SPSS version 21. The results of this research show that the average pre-test score is 69.72. The post-test average score was 98.70. Based on the paired sample test, the significant results of this research are sig. (2-tailed) p  = 0.000, < 0.05. The results of the t-test show that tcount (8.321) > ttable (2.052). So the null hypothesis (H0) in this study is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. From these results, it can be concluded that flashcards with digital media are significant in increasing the students’ vocabulary. There are four ways of applying flashcards with digital media in this study. The implication of this research is that flashcards with digital media can be an effective learning medium in increasing vocabulary, and flashcards with digital media can be a medium that can train students' focus. The advantage of flashcards with digital media is that they can be varied into games-based learning and flashcards with digital media can not only be applied using Smart TV, but can also using electronic media adequate for the application of other visual media, such as laptops, cellphones, and LCD projectors.
