Abstract

Learning vocabulary is important and crucial for English learners. Lack of vocabulary makes students unable to read, write, or articulate their ideas, making it difficult for them to understand what others are saying. Teachers must be able to encourage students to learn to master English vocabulary which is a basic skill in a foreign language by using interesting media. And one of the many media that can be used for vocabulary mastery is crossword puzzles. The objective of this research is to find out whether there is any significant difference score on students’ vocabulary achievement of the tenth grade students at SMAN 1 Durenan before and after using the crossword puzzle. The researcher formulated the research question as follows, “Is there any significant difference score on students’ vocabulary achievement of the tenth grade students at SMAN 1 Durenan before and after using the crossword puzzle?”. This research used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental research design. The population in this study were students of the tenth grade of SMAN 1 Durenan and the sample was students of X-B class of SMAN 1 Durenan with total 34 students. The research data were taken using the pre-test and post-test of vocabulary. The data were calculated using a paired sample t-test. Based on the results of the study, the mean score of the pre-test was 61.00 and the mean score of the post-test was 84.291. This shows that there is a significant difference in scores before and after using the crossword puzzle on students’ vocabulary achievement of tenth grade students at SMAN 1 Durenan. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a sig. value of 0.000. This means that the significance value is smaller than the significance level of 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). The results of this study indicate that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of crossword puzzle was effective on students’ vocabulary achievement of the tenth grade students at SMAN 1 Durenan.
