The goal of English Lesson for the fourth-grade students of Elementary School is students are able to have the working knowledge and language skill of English with the vocabulary mastery of more or less 150 words which includes reading skill, listening skill, speaking skill, and writing skill. Based on this goal, the vocabulary is a base of language learning and the position of the vocabulary is to prepare the students to be able to read reading passages. The vocabulary is also related with the other skills of language such as listening, speaking and writing. Thus the vocabulary must be learned first by the students.

To apply songs and role plays in the teaching vocabulary, the writer divides three steps. They are: (1) preparation in which the teacher prepares materials, eg. the properties that include cassettes, puppets, costumes, cards, etc., (2) presentation which includes activities that lead the students to learn the vocabulary in the form of songs and role plays, (3) evaluation in which the teacher evaluates the students' mastery of what he has taught. In this study, the writer uses the library research. She gathers some various sources of books which deal with the teaching of vocabulary and how to use songs and role plays for the children. She hopes that this study can help the teacher who wants to improve the students' motivation to achieve the best result and enjoyment in learning English. Finally, the writer realizes that there are still many shortcomings in this study. Therefore, she will happily accept any constructive criticism from the readers
