Board Race Game as an Alternative Strategy in Teaching Vocabulary

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the reading aloud strategy on the pronunciation abilities of seventh grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Pematangsiantar. In this research, researchers used quantitative research methods with a quasi-experimental design and pre-test, post-test and control designs. The sample for this research consisted of class VIII students at SMP Negeri 12 Pematang Siantar with an average class size of 32 in the 2022–2023 academic year. There are around 288 students in class VIII. By using this technique, the sample that will be used in this research consists of two classes, namely class VIII-8 as the experimental class and class VIII-9 as the control class at SMP Negeri 12 Pematang Siantar. From the results of research conducted at SMP Negeri 12 Pematang Siantar, it was found that there was an influence of the application of the Scrabble game on mastery of mathematics. This can be seen from the students' average score in the test, namely pre-test 54.21 and post-test 76.09, while the researchers' learning results found that the t-test in this study was 2.14. Based on the previously designed hypothesis formulation, the hypothesis is not rejected if tcount is greater than ttable. The meaning of these results is that students who were taught to use the game Scrabble were better than students who did not use the game Scrabble in the classroom treatment process. After carrying out calculations, the researchers found that in this study the t-count was higher than the t-table. Referring to this, we can put forward the following hypothesis. t-count > t-table 5%, namely 2.14 > 1.670. Because the calculated t-value (2.14) is higher than the t-table (1.670) at the 5% significance level for a two-sided test, the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, the Scrabble Game is very effective as a learning support medium, especially in improving mathematics mastery.

The purpose of this research is to determine the more significant influence of the Snowball Throwing method on the reading comprehension of narrative text for class X SMA NEGERI 1 SIANTAR students. This research uses an experimental design. The problems in this research are the problems of students who have low reading comprehension abilities, students who are not familiar with the vocabulary in the text, and students who do not understand how to find the main idea in the narrative text they read. This research uses an experimental design, meaning that there is a certain experiment that is applied to a population or sample. And the population of this study were two classes, namely students in classes X-3 and X-4, totaling 60 students. The sample size is 30 students in each class. The control group used a textbook while the experimental group was taught using the snowball throwing method. In this study, data analysis showed that the average post-test score for the experimental group was 76, while the score for the control group was 64.16. The influence of the Snowball Throwing Method is more significant than without using the Snowball Throwing Method on the Reading Comprehension of class X SMA NEGERI 1 SIANTAR students in narrative texts. This is proven by the t test of 3.56 and the t table value of 2.001 and df = 58 (Nx+Ny-2 = 30+30-2 = 58). The t test value is greater than the t table value (t test > t table). Therefore the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected.

“…Students must practice to mastery the advanced vocabulary. In learning vocabulary, there are several common problems facing by the students (Hukom, 2021). First, the student have difficulty differentiating the word classes.…”
