This study was conducted through Classroom Action Research (CAR) in three cycles involving 23 tenth-grade of TKJ students consisting of 10 female students and 13 male students. Each cycle consisted of four stages: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The results of the study showed that students' vocabulary mastery increased significantly in each cycle. In the first cycle, the average score was 63.04 with a success rate of 17%. In the second cycle, the average score was 72.83 with a success rate of 52%. In the third cycle, the average score was 82.61 with a success rate of 100%, which successfully achieved the KKM of 75 with a success rate of 80%. This was also accompanied by higher motivation and participation. It can be concluded that cue cards are effective and practical in improving students' vocabulary mastery.
