Key Word: Mnemonic Technique and Vocabulary Mastery
A vocabulary is a group of words of a language that conveys meaning when the language is used. Vocabulary is important for students, it is more important than grammar for communicative purposes. In the modern era, English has functioned as a communication means in which people from different nations interact. We all do communicate all the time, all the place and all the time. Anybody can communicate, but they can't always communicate well. Good communication is how to get the message across without ambiguity. Therefore, students should able to have enough vocabulary. Mnemonics is a way to help students remembering vocabulary and understand the words. Students can learn the vocabulary fun and easier. Those are the reason why the researcher uses the mnemonic technique.
The purpose of this research was to examine whether there was a significant difference between the students’ vocabulary mastery who were taught by mnemonic technique and those who were not taught by mnemonic technique at SMPN 1 Siman Ponorogo in academic year 2019/2020.
This research applied a quantitative approach and used the quasi-experimental design. This research used two classes as an experimental group and a control group. The population was taken from the eighth-grade students of SMPN 1 Siman Ponorogo in the academic year 2019/2020. The number of the sample in this research was 28 students of the control group and 24 students of the experimental group. The procedure of data collection was tests and documentation. To analyze, it, used a t-test formula to know whether there was a significant difference in students’ vocabulary mastery who taught by mnemonic technique and students who are not taught by the mnemonic technique.
The result of the research showed that the T-test was 8.482 and the value of T-table of dB = 52 is 2.00. It means that the value of T-test was higher than T-table (8.482 > 2.00). Therefore Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. It can be concluded that there was a significant difference score in vocabulary mastery for the students who are taught by a mnemonic technique using acronym media and who are not taught by using acronym media.
So, from the computation above it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between students’ vocabulary mastery who are taught by mnemonic technique and those who are not taught by mnemonic technique at SMPN 1 Siman Ponorogo. It has become important for the teachers to increase and to develop their ability in teaching. The teacher should be able to use the appropriate method in learning English, especially in learning vocabulary to make the students are more motivated in learning vocabulary.
