Abstract

This study is aimed at finding out the effectiveness of matching pair game to enrich students’ vocabulary mastery. The research design of this study is quasi experimental design. The population of the study was the seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 5 Magelang. The sample was VII G as the experimental group and VIIH as the control group. I conducted four steps in obtaining the data of, the first was tryout test, second was pre-test, third was treatment, and the last was post-test. The pre-test and post-test were given for the experimental and control groups. The students of experimental group were taught using matching pair game, while the students of control group were taught using conventional technique. The mean of the pre-test of experimental group was 57.41 and the control group was 57.67. In the post-test the mean of the experimental group was 76.89 while the control group was 71.33. Based on the t-test analysis the t-value was 7.38 then the t-table was 2.05. It shows that the t-value was higher than t-table (7.38 > 2.05). It means that there is significant different between the students who were taught using matching pair game and those who were taught using conventional technique. It can be concluded that matching pair game is more effective to be implemented in teaching vocabulary to enrich students’ vocabulary mastery than conventional technique.
