Abstract
This experimental study which was conducted at SMPN 7 Magelang academic year 2016/2017 dealt with Audiolingual method (ALM) used in teaching vocabulary for grade VII junior high school students. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of ALM in teaching vocabulary. The background of the research was based on students’ lack of vocabulary mastery and teacher’s vocabulary teaching method. Some previous studies I reviewed indicated that ALM could improve vocabulary. Considering the previous studies, I used ALM with the emphasis on teaching vocabulary. I also reviewed some theories about vocabulary and ALM from experts that would be used in this research. The data was taken by using a test instrument. The test items were teacher-made multiple choice test which had already been tried out to 32 students of VII E to make sure that they were valid and reliable. I used class VII D as the experimental group (EG) taught by ALM and VII C as the control group (CG) taught by Grammar Translation Method (GTM). The results of pre-test proved that both classes were relatively homogeneous. The results showed that the mean scores of CG pre-test and post-test were 81.9 and 87.0 respectively. While the EG pre-test and post-test scores were 82.0 and 91.8 respectively. The independent sample test (t-test) result showed that the significant difference level was 0.010. It can be said that both of groups were statistically significant. In conclusion, in this study students who were taught by using ALM had better achievement than students who were taught by GTM. It is suggested that the findings of this study could be applied as an alternative method by the English teachers to have a better students’ vocabulary improvement.
