“…Using drawing picture as a media showed that students have gained a deeper comprehension of their own concepts and made an effort to express their views clearly. By using drawing picture all students have chance to practice their speaking ability in the class and encourage students to communicate smoothly (Nur, 2018).…”

“…The media used makes it easier for students to learn and master English vocabulary because of the concrete examples (Ristyani & Nurhayati, 2020). Drawing Picture Media effectively stimulates students' brain performance in understanding based on visualizing (Nur, 2018). In addition, students feel motivated to pay attention and participate in the learning process to make the class more active (Mumtahabah, 2014).…”

“…Pictures are part of educational media that are universal, easy to understand, and not bound by grammar. Image media is a medium that is simple, easy to manufacture, andinexpensivein terms of cost (Nur, 2018).…”
