Abstract

This study entitled “The Use of Word Matching Game in Improving Students’ Vocabulary “is aimed at finding out the effectiveness of Word Matching Game in Improving Students’ vocabulary. This study was focused on whether the word matching game can improve students’ vocabulary and how far it can improve the students’ vocabulary. This Quasi- experimental study was conducted in SMPN 1 Taliwang with the students of the first grade as the population. By using the cluster random sampling technique, the writer had 62 students as the samples taken from 224 first grade students. The samples were divided into 2 classes, VII-4 as the control group and VII-5 as the experimental group. Each group consists of the same number of students, 31 students. Word matching game was applied as the treatment to the experimental group for twice and once to the control group. Furthermore, both group were given the same pre-test and post-test that consist of 30 multiple choices and 10 essays.After being given the treatment, the writer found that the word matching game did not give significant positive effect on the students’ vocabulary. It can be seen through the result of the t-test gained was 1.629 with the degree of freedom (df) 60. With t-test result, the writer compared it to t-table in .05 (95%) and .01 (99%) level. In df 60, the significant level of .05 is 2,000 while .01 is 2,660. T-test was lower than t-table in both levels. Therefore, the null hypothesis that say”there is no significant effect of word matching game in improving students’ vocabulary” is failed to be rejected.
