Abstract :
Vocabulary is a basic aspect in learning English, and is an important aspect because it helps us communicate effectively. Sometimes many students still have difficulty practicing and enriching their knowledge in learning English, especially vocabulary mastery. One of the most appropriate ways to overcome this is to use digital technology. This research aims to determine the effect of using the Rosetta Stone application on eighth-grade students' vocabulary mastery compared to conventional teaching methods. The study used a quasi-experiment design with a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest approach. The participants were 60 students from SMP PGRI Jatiuwung and divided into two classes by 30 students in class VIII A (control group) and 30 students in class VIII C (experiment group). Data was collected using a multiple-choice test with 20 questions on antonyms, synonyms, and fill in the blanks. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the pretest and posttest results. The pretest results showed no significant difference between the control and experiment groups (Asymp. Sig 0.131 > ? 0.05). However, the posttest results indicated a significant difference (Asymp. Sig 0.030 < ? 0.05), suggesting that students using the Rosetta Stone application had better vocabulary mastery than those using conventional methods.
