Abstrak
The objective of this study is to find out
whether there is any significant
difference of vocabulary mastery achieved by the
fourth grade students of MI Al Iman Banaran Gunung
Pati Semarang who have been taught using
crossword puzzle game from those taught using quar
tet card game in the academic year of 2010/2011.
The method which is used in this study is true
experimental method, while the design of this stud
y is pre test-post test comparison group design.
The subjects of this study are the students of the
4th grade students of MI Al Iman Banaran Gunung
Pati Semarang in the academic year of 2010/2011. T
hey were divided into two groups.
Class IV A that consists of twenty seven students
was considered as the experimental
group 1. While class IV B that consists of twenty
eight students was considered as the
experimental group 2. In this research, both of
the two groups were given pre-test in
order to know their first condition. Afterwards,
both of them were given treatment.
The experimental group 1 was taught by using
crossword puzzles, while the experimental group 2
was taught by using quartet card. After the
treatment, both of them were given post-test. It w
as given to know whether there is any significant
difference of vocabulary mastery achieved by the
fourth grade students of MI Al Iman Banaran Gunung
Pati Semarang who have been taught by using
crossword puzzle game from those who were taught b
y using quartet card game in the academic
year of 2010/2011. The methods of data collection
in this research are documentation and test.
The documentation was used to obtain the
students list that belonged to the subject
of the study, while test was used to measure the
students vocabulary mastery. The gathered data we
re analyzed by using statistical analysis. To
test the hypothesis of this research, the formula
used is t-test formula. The post-test means of
the experimental group 1 (crossword puzzles
group) is 87.96, while the post-test
means of experimental group 2 is 81.96. Based on
the calculation of hypothesis test, it
was obtained that thitung 2.24 and ttabel
2.01, because thitung gt ttabel,, Ho is
rejected and Ha is accepted. It means that the mea
ns of the vocabulary mastery of the
experimental group 1 was greater than or not
equal to the means of the experimental
group 2. Thus, it can be concluded that there was
significant difference of vocabulary
mastery achieved by the fourth grade students of
MI Al Iman Banaran Gunung Pati Semarang who have b
een taught by using crossword puzzle game from
those who were taught by using quartet card game i
n the academic year of 2010/2011.
Therefore, it is suggested for English teachers
to use crossword puzzle game in
teaching English vocabulary, because even though
both of crossword puzzle game and quartet card gam
e are effective to improve students vocabulary
mastery, it was proved that in teaching English vo
cabulary, crossword puzzle game was more
effective to be used than quartet card game.
