In learning English in Indonesia, vocabulary is one of an important
element that should be learnt by students. Without a good and accurate
vocabulary, the speaker or writer will be difficult to send his or her message to
listener or reader and tend to miscommunication. .
This study is conducted to determine the significance of Word Search
Game on the vocabulary mastery at the tenth grade of SMA NEGERI 1 Seputih
Raman. This research used quantitative research, cluster random sampling
technique, and used the t-test formula. The research instruments were pre-test
and post-test. There were 33 students for the control group and 35 students for
the experimental group.
The results of the analysis show that the t value obtained (3.483) is
greater than the t table (2.01) at a significance level of 0.05 and a significance
level of 0.01 which is lower than 0.05. Therefore, the hypothesis is accepted. It
means that teaching vocabulary mastery using Word Search Game at the tenth
grade of SMA NEGERI 1 Seputih Ramanis effective. The researcher realizes that
the results of this study are still far from perfect. Thus, she expects that other
researchers conduct further research so that they can find other research findings
