This study investigates the effectiveness of crossword puzzle and word chain game, in teaching vocabulary at MTs Al-Islam Joresan, Ponorogo. The background of this research stems from the recognized importance of vocabulary acquisition in language learning, particularly in the context of English as a foreign language (EFL) instruction. This study was initiated following a series of interviews with school teachers, which revealed a significant deficiency in students' vocabulary skills. The teachers highlighted that many students struggled with understanding and using new words effectively. In response to this issue, the researcher decided to explore the potential of interactive and engaging learning tools to address these vocabulary gaps. Specifically, the study employed active media such as crossword puzzle and word chain games. These tools were chosen for their ability to make learning more enjoyable and to actively engage students in the learning process. Through this approach, the researcher aimed to provide valuable insights and practical solutions for enhancing vocabulary acquisition in the classroom.
The question of this research is do students who are taught by using crossword puzzle and word chain game have better vocabulary mastery than those who are not taught by using those media? and the primary objective of this research is to determine whether students who are taught using crossword puzzle and word chain games have better vocabulary mastery compared to those who are not taught using these media.
The study employs a quasi-experimental design, involving pre-tests and post-tests to measure the impact of the interventions. The participants consist of two groups: the experimental group, which receives instruction incorporating crossword puzzle and word chain game, and the control group, which follows conventional teaching methods.
The results indicate students who are taught using crossword puzzle and word chain games tend to have better vocabulary mastery compared to those who are not taught using these media. The interactive and engaging nature of these tools helps students learn and retain new vocabulary more effectively. Through the analysis of pre-test and post-test scores, as well as student feedback, it is evident that the implementation of crossword puzzle and word chain games effectively enhances students' vocabulary mastery. These findings underscore the importance of integrating interactive activities into language instruction to foster a more dynamic and effective learning environment. Ultimately, this research provides valuable insights for educators seeking innovative approaches to enhance students' language skills and academic success.
