The research subjects were two English teachers at SMP Sunodia, Samarinda. The researcher transcribed the data, coded it, and presented it in a qualitative descriptive way. The results of this study, from the observation, indicated that teacher one and two used some strategies to implement English vocabulary. Namely 1) Picture/Video, 2) Online game, 3) Translation, 4) Words clustering, 5) Memorization.
