Actually, English is the first foreign language in Indonesia. Therefore, English always learn by many people to get many expectations. There are many reasons why people want to study about English. One of them give argument that English includes international language in this universe. So, people can talk to the other people from another region or country.
Learning English is very vital for students especially in elementary school until college. According to Das (2004) the visible impact of this presence of English is that it is today being demanded by everyone at the very initial stage of schooling. The English teaching profession has consistently recommended a relatively late (Class IV, V, or VI) introduction of English.
Actually teaching is not easy as people thinking. If the teacher want to success teaching in the class, they have to know the condition of the students. According to Wilen & Ishler (2012 : 6) the effective learning is learning which have procedure, for instance: review the last lesson, prepare new knowledge and skills, giving exercise about application and concept, giving feedback or correction, giving independent exercise, conducting a review weekly.

The media includes visual media, audio media, audio visual media, and multimedia. Visual media is media that frequently contain intelligence of sight; for example pictures, white board, LCD and real things.

Based on the previous research by Rachman (2009) showed that the teacher at SD Muhammadiyah 08 Dau Malang used more than a few media, for example: picture files, flash card, pocket charts, and a tape recorder. Therefore, the effectiveness of the media depends on the how the teacher resolute and manipulated media for the students.
