This study aims to explore the process of learning English vocabulary among seventh-grade students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah Mujahidin Pasir Village in the 2025/2026 Academic Year and to understand the teacher’s perception of students during the teaching process. By examining both the learning process and the teacher’s views, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of the applied teaching methods and student responses.

The study employed a descriptive qualitative method with class VII students as the subjects. Data were collected through classroom observations and interviews. The research also identified supporting and hindering factors in vocabulary learning, including internal aspects such as motivation, interest, and readiness to learn, as well as external aspects such as teaching methods, learning environment, and teacher support.

The findings highlight both strengths and weaknesses in the teaching and learning process. Recognizing these aspects can help teachers refine their approaches to better match student characteristics and needs. Overall, this study is expected to contribute to improving the quality of English learning, particularly in vocabulary mastery, which is a crucial component of language skills, and serve as a reference for teachers, schools, and future researchers in designing more effective strategies.
