Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research was to examine how reading short stories can help eighth-grade students at Private Junior High in Sidas improve their vocabulary mastery. The context of the problem shows that students have difficulty mastering English because of conventional teaching methods. This research employed a quantitative method with an experimental design involving 34 eighth-grade students selected through cluster random sampling. The research instrument consisted of a vocabulary mastery test comprising 20 multiple-choice items covering six aspects: word definitions, synonyms, fill-in-the-blanks, antonyms, translations, and spelling. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25 through a t-test and Cohen's d effect size. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean score increased from 42.35 in the pre-test to 67.05 in the post-test, while the control group’s score increased slightly from 46.09 to 53.44. A significant difference was found using the independent t-test (t = -3.712, p = 0.000) with an effect size of 0.92, indicating a strong practical impact. These findings confirm that the short story reading method is effective in improving students’ vocabulary mastery compared to traditional methods. The success of this method lies in its contextual learning approach and the use of explicit vocabulary teaching techniques, which make the learning process more engaging.
