Abstract

This research is aimed at discovering whether or not the use of fairy tales improves the vocabulary achievement of students in their second year of MTsN 2 Kota Makassar. This study used a quasi-experimental approach with one group working as the control group, and the other as the experimental group. A 25-item vocabulary test was employed as the research instrument. The populations of this research were 40 students from the VIII.B and VIII.C classes in the academic year 2020-2021. This class was taken as the sample randomly through the cluster random sampling technique from 11 classes. To collect data, the pre-test and the post-test procedures were used. This study's findings reveal that the college students’ vocabulary mastery after receiving the treatment made positive progress. The average of the student's performance from the pre-test to the post-test can be demonstrated. The vocabulary achievement of the class which is taught by using fairy tales showed improvement (64.19 to 87.62). The computation and examination of the t value revealed that it was less than level significant (0.000<0.05). Thus, it concludes that the use of fairy tales improves the students’ vocabulary achievement of the second-year students MTsN 2 Kota Makassar.
