Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Building Words method in enhancing vocabulary mastery among second-grade students at SMPN 1 Majauleng. Employing a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, the research involved 30 randomly selected students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest, with an intervention using the Building Words method between the two tests. Results show a significant improvement in students' average vocabulary scores, from 31 in the pretest to 91 in the posttest. Statistical analysis using paired t-test yielded a t-value of -81.168 with a p-value of 0.000, confirming the method's effectiveness. Students' ability classification shifted dramatically from "Very Poor" and "Poor" to "Good" and "Very Good". The Building Words method proved effective in enhancing vocabulary mastery through active student engagement, collaborative learning, and a multi-sensory approach. This research highlights the potential of the Building Words method for integration into language teaching curricula and adaptation to various educational contexts. While focusing on short-term effects, the results indicate potential long-term positive impacts on students' language abilities. Further studies are recommended to evaluate long-term vocabulary retention and the application of this method in other language skills.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Spelling Bee method in improving English vocabulary mastery of eighth grade students at SMP Negeri 17 Marusu. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design, namely one-group pretest-posttest. A total of 25 students of class VIII.a were selected as research samples. Data were collected through vocabulary tests before and after treatment, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' vocabulary mastery after the Spelling Bee method was implemented. The average pretest score of students was 80.80, while the average posttest score increased to 98.00. The results of the statistical analysis showed a significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05), so the null hypothesis (H?) which states that "there is no significant difference in vocabulary improvement before and after treatment" is rejected. Conversely, the alternative hypothesis (H?) which states that "there is a significant difference in vocabulary improvement before and after treatment" is accepted. In addition, this method also increases students' motivation and participation in learning English. Thus, the Spelling Bee method can be considered as an effective learning strategy to improve students' English vocabulary mastery.
