Abstract

Word Square technique is one of the learning models to practice the students’ critical thinking in which the students find some words in the box randomly to answer some questions related the learning material. The objective of this study to find out whether or not there was any significant difference on vocabulary mastery between students who were taught by using Word Square technique and those who were not. This study used quasi experimental design using two groups. The population of this study was the eighth grade students of SMP Methodist 1 Palembang. There were 43 students chosen as the sample. Each class consisted of 21 students from VIII.A as experimental group and 22 students from VIII.B as control group. The researcher used pretest and posttest as the instrument in collecting the data. The researcher used paired sample t-test to compare the pretest and posttest result in experimental group. The result revealed that the significance (2-tailed) was 0.000, which is lower than alpha value 0.05, then t- obtained value = 5.340 was higher than t-table 2.086. It means that that Ho1 (null hypothesis) was rejected and Ha1 (alternative hypothesis) was accepted. In conclusion, the use of Word Square technique was effective to improve students’ vocabulary mastery at the eighth grade students of SMP Methodist 1 Palembang. The data was analyzed by using independent sample t-test. The result showed that t-obtained 3.121 was higher than t-table 2.020 with degree of freedom (df=41) and the significant 2-tailed was 0.003. It is claimed that the null hypothesis (Ho2) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha2) was accepted. Therefore, there was a significant difference on vocabulary mastery between the students who were taught by using Word Square technique and those who were not. Keywords: Word Square Technique, Vocabulary Mastery
