Abstract
Vocabulary is one of the important components in language. This research was conducted to find out the effectiveness of using combination between Word Wall and Crossword Puzzle technique for teaching vocabulary. This study was a quasi-experimental research. The pre-test and post-test nonequivalent group design was applied as the research design. The subject of this study was the eighth grade students of SMPN 20 Semarang in academic year of 2019/2020. In obtaining the data, the researcher conducted pre-test, treatments, and post-test. In the treatment activity, the students in experimental group were taught by using the combination between Word Wall and Crossword Puzzle technique. On the other hand, the students in control group were taught by using conventional method. The instrument of this study was vocabulary mastery test in the form of multiple choice. The results of the data showed that the mean scores of the experimental group pre-test was 67.92 and the control group was 66.77. After both groups received the treatments, the mean scores of both groups increased. The mean score of experimental group post-test was 78.85, and the control group was 71.88. Based on the data analysis of t-test there was a significance improvement of the students’ achievement after the implementation of the combination of Word Wall and Crossword Puzzle technique. The result showed that the tvalue was 5.71, while ttable was 1.99. It means that the tvalue was higher than ttable (5.71>1.99). In conclusion, the combination between Word Wall and Crossword Puzzle technique was effective to improve students’ vocabulary mastery. The researcher hopes that the use of combination between Word Wall and Crossword Puzzle technique may probably be used by English teacher in teaching English, especially in teaching vocabulary.
