Abstract. We report the continuity of interest of women in physics in Malaysia from the secondary school level through the undergraduate and graduate levels and involvement in the working environment. Positive developments are obvious as the percentage of women in top management positions in the public sector has increased from 19% in 2004 to 25% in June 2010. To increase this percentage in the future, we are analyzing the cause of "loss of interest" at the undergraduate's level to pursue a career in a physics-related field.

The study is aimed to find out whether the use of Stand upSequence Game is effective as the media in teaching vocabularymastery. The study used quasi-experimental design with the researchpopulation namely 22 female students of Budi Utomo Orphanage. The researcher conducted the systematic of purposive samplingand used pre-test and post-test as a research instrument. To analyze thepre-test and post-test score, the researcher used t-test analyzes. Theresult of the first hypothesis test which uses 5% significant degree, wherethe t-test obtained is (6.999) which also higher than that of t table (2.22).The second hypothesis test where the t-test obtained is (2.274) which ishigher than that of t table (2.08). It shows that the students who are taughtby Stand up Sequence Game having a higher score. In conclusion, thatteaching English vocabulary using Stand up Sequence Game is moreeffective than that of without using Stand up Sequence Game.
