Functional literacy (FL) is an approach to eliminate illiteracy from society through non-formal education. Through this program, learners are expected to acquire a degree of comprehension and awareness concerning their social, economic, and political strength which will enable them to gradually improve the quality of their life. Illiterate people always face a dilemma emanating from the constraints and limitations to perform their daily tasks; it characterizes their life. The high level of illiteracy in undeveloped society brings about the existence of functional literacy programs. Literacy education programs are not optimal due to, among other factors, the use of ineffective teaching/learning media. In learning process, the learners easily get bored. Therefore, it is important to use appropriate learning media, including learning/pictorial cards. Learning/pictorial cards are a learning media that combines letters, words, and pictures in a card to be used in learning process. The present study investigates whether the use of learning/pictorial cards as learning media in functional literacy program can improve the learning result of FL learners. Classroom action research is the method selected for that purpose. There are 10 people chosen as the subject of the study. Data is processed and analyzed through observation in two cycles (Cycles I and II). Based on the observation in Cycle I, it is found that there are four learners who fail the program. Later, in Cycle II, it is found that all learners actively participate in the lessons. © Serials Publications.
