Abstract

Vocabulary is the most crucial part of language learning. It provides the basis for the four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. However, most EFL students, especially in Indonesia, struggle to learn English effectively, due to their limited vocabulary knowledge. This research aimed at finding out whether there is a significant improvement on students’ English vocabulary retention at SMPQTA An-Nur after the implementation of four vocabulary games. This research employed one-group pretest-posttest design, utilizing vocabulary translation test to obtain the data. Saturated sampling was used for this research due to the limited class and number of the seventh-grade students. The mean scores on both the pre-test and post-test were analyzed using the Paired-Sample T-Test with a significance level of 5% (0.05). The result shows that there is an improvement on students’ vocabulary translation test scores after the implementation of four vocabulary games by comparing students’ pre-test and post-test scores, which means that there is an increase in students vocabulary retention. With the help of SPSS 25 program, a significance (2-tailed) value of 0.000 was obtained. The significance (2-tailed) value was higher than the significance level (0.000<0.05) and t-value is higher than t-table (15.920>2.064); there is a significant positive difference. Therefore, the four vocabulary games are effective in improving students’ vocabulary retention. Keywords: English vocabulary, vocabulary retention, vocabulary games
