Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using the Got It game on the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMPN 9 Padangsidimpuan. Vocabulary mastery is an important aspect of English language learning because it forms the basis for other language skills, such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Therefore, innovative and enjoyable learning strategies that can increase students' interest in learning vocabulary are needed. The Got It game was chosen because it is believed to create an active and interactive learning environment that motivates students to more easily understand and remember new vocabulary. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-test and post-test control group experimental design. The research sample consists of 48 students divided into two classes, namely class VII-4 as the experimental class and class VII-2 as the control class. The experimental class was taught using the Got It game, while the control class was taught using conventional methods. The research instrument was a vocabulary mastery test consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions administered at the pre-test and post-test stages.The researcher used t-test formula to verify the hypothesis. The results of the data analysis showed a significant increase in the experimental class after the treatment. The t-test proved that the t-count value (5.774) was greater than the t-table value (1.678) with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. This indicates a significant difference between the two groups. The average score of the experimental class was higher than that of the control class. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of the Got It game has a positive and significant effect on the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMPN 9 Padangsidimpuan.
