RANKING CARD GAMES: AN INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA USED TO BUILD UP STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY MASTERY
Abstract
The goal of this study was to build up students' vocabulary mastery by using Ranking Card Games. This quantitative research was held in 2022/2023 academic year at MTs Al-Islamiyah Jakarta. There were 55 students of grade 7th of this school involved as the sample. In collecting the data, both pre-test and post-test were administered to measure students’ vocabulary mastery before and after the research. The data were analysed statistically by using the formula of Paired-sample t-test. This statistical computation revealed that the average score gained by the students in the post-test (76.09) was higher than in the pre-test (46.27). Thus, this research concluded that there was a significant impact on students’ vocabulary mastery after being taught by using Ranking Card Games media. In other words, this research confirmed that Ranking Card Games were effective media to build vocabulary mastery of 7th grade students of MTs Al-Islamiyah Jakarta.References
