English is important in global world so that it cannot be denied and ignored since English is the most common language spoken everywhere. Therefore, English learners should learn and hoped to master four of language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing). It can be denied that vocabulary is needed to improve those four skills. Unfortunately, there are some English teachers who have not determined and applied accurate techniques in mastering students' vocabulary yet. Seeing the cases that have occurred, English teachers must find and apply a precise technique in boosting the students' vocabulary mastery. One right technique that should be applied by the teacher in boosting the students' vocabulary mastery is by conducting words association games.
This research is done for the intention of helping students to enrich their vocabulary mastery. The result of this study is expected to give the advantages for the English teacher, the students, and the researcher. For the English teacher, it is expected to provide the information about alternative technique in teaching vocabulary. For the student, it hopefully can make the process of learning more enjoyable, fun and communicative so that it will increase not only their motivation but also their vocabularies in learning English.
