Abstract

This study looks into the use of crossword puzzles to help pupils build their vocabulary. The research subject for this study was decided upon in class VII b at SMP Negeri 3 Tondano. There are 20 students in this class. The pre-experimental design of this study included pre- and post-tests for a single group. Scores from the pre- and post-tests following therapy were used to collect the data. The minimum and maximum scores in this investigation were 50 and 90, respectively. The results showed that the pre-test mean score was 63 and the post-test mean score was 78.5. It indicates that the post-test result is better than the pre-test. As a result, it can be said that teaching vocabulary using crossword puzzles differs significantly from other methods. Thus, it can be said that crossword puzzles can help pupils in SMP Negeri 3 Tondano's seventh grade increase their vocabulary. This demonstrates how crossword puzzles can be used by English teachers to expand their pupils' vocabulary.
