This research examines the effectiveness of the multisensory method in enriching the vocabulary of eleventh-grade students at UPTD SMA Negeri 1 Sendana. The teaching method that was implemented was still conventional and did not correspond to the students’ learning needs. A quantitative method was employed with a pre-experimental design using one group pretest-posttest. The population in this study consisted of all eleventh grade students (218 students) at UPTD SMA Negeri 1 Sendana with the specific sample is XI 4 (33 students). The treatment was conducted in four meetings by integrating visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile activities to support vocabulary learning. The findings revealed an improvement in students’ vocabulary achievement, as indicated by the increase in mean scores from pretest to posttest. Although the overall improvement was relatively modest for some students, the results confirmed that the multisensory method had a significant effect on vocabulary acquisition. This was supported by the results of the t-test, which showed a significance value <0.05 or 0.001 < 0.05; therefore, H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. This means that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results after applying the Multisensory method to enriching students’ vocabulary in Grade XI at SMA Negeri 1 Sendana. This study suggests that the application of multisensory learning can provide a more engaging and effective strategy for teaching English vocabulary. Although the t-test results indicated that the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was accepted, meaning that the multisensory method was effective and produced a significant difference in improving students’ vocabulary.
