This research used a quasi-experimental research design with a sample of 54 students selected using a purposive sampling technique because the selected classes were VIII B and VIII C. In gathering the test, the instrument used was a vocabulary test administered twice as pre-test and post-test. The pre-test was given to the experimental and control groups before the treatment while the post-test was carried out to the experimental and control groups after the treatment. The mean score of the experimental group on pre-test was 39.77 and the control group was 46. Then, the mean score of the experimental group on post-test was 77 and the control group was 59.57. The data were statistically analyzed using the t-counted formula with degrees of freedom (df) = Nx + Ny - 2 = 26 +28 - 2 = 52. The findings show that the t-counted value is 5.896 while the t-table value is 2.006. It means that the t-counted is higher than the t-table. Therefore, the research hypothesis is accepted.
