Abstract

Vocabulary is a fundamental aspect of language proficiency, serving as a critical foundation for communication, comprehension, and academic success. However, many vocational high school students face challenges in mastering English vocabulary due to teaching methods that often overlook individual differences in learning needs and abilities. This study explores the implementation of the "Learning Vocabulary" program, designed as part of a teaching assistance initiative at SMKN 3 Parepare, to improve students' vocabulary mastery through personalized and game-based learning methods.The program integrates weekly vocabulary activities involving nouns, adverbs, verbs, and adjectives, utilizing interactive games such as Word Guessing Game, Memory Match, Scrabble, and Role-Playing. These methods aim to foster student motivation and active engagement while addressing individual needs. Data were collected through vocabulary tests, observations, and interviews, and analyzed descriptively.The results reveal significant improvements in students' vocabulary mastery and motivation, highlighting the effectiveness of games-based learning in creating a fun and interactive learning environment. Challenges, including initial resistance to new methods, were addressed through consistent implementation and student adaptation. This study concludes that the "Learning Vocabulary" program, with its focus on individualized and engaging activities, is an effective model for enhancing vocabulary learning in vocational schools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relation between students’ frequency of watching English content on social media and their vocabulary mastery in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, this research involved 16 eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 2 Sidrap. Data were collected through a vocabulary test and structured interviews. The vocabulary test was used to provide a preliminary description of students’ vocabulary levels, while interviews explored students’ exposure to English content, viewing frequency, and learning experiences outside the classroom. The findings reveal that students who frequently engage with English content on social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram demonstrate higher levels of vocabulary mastery compared to those with lower exposure. The frequency of engagement ranged from daily to occasional viewing, with content types including both educational and entertainment materials. Repeated exposure to authentic and contextualized language input was found to contribute significantly to vocabulary acquisition. Furthermore, the study indicates that social media serves as an effective informal learning environment that supports autonomous learning and enhances students’ vocabulary development. These findings suggest that integrating social media-based exposure into language learning strategies can be beneficial in improving students’ vocabulary mastery.
