Penelitian ini adalah sebuah penelitian pre-experimental. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah purposive sampling. Sampeldalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII E yg terdiri atas 36 siswa. Data-data di ambil dengan menerapkan rumus ES (tingkat efektifitas) . Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tingkat efektifitas dari penggunaan crossword puzzle adalah 1.27 (> 1.00) . Hasil ini dikategorikan memiliki efek yang kuat. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa crossword puzzle sangat efektif utuk mengajarkan kosa katakepada siswa kelas 8.  \nKata kunci: crossword puzzle, mengajarkan vocabulary  \nI  \nn order to master English as a foreign language, students need to master“vocabulary” as the first step in learning. It is commonly defined as all the words used by the speakers when using their language. Cunningsworth (1983)  \nrefers vocabulary to all words in a language, which communicate meaning. Harris and Hodges (1981) define vocabulary as words known or used by a person or group. Hornby (1989) defines vocabulary as (1) all the words that a person knows or uses (2) all the words in a particular language (3) the words that people use when they are talking, and (4) a list of words with its meanings especially in a book for learning foreign language. It also is basic for the students to learn. Wilkins cited in Thornbury (2002) claims that without vocabulary nothing can be  \nconveyed. Therefore, without vocabulary, the students cannot master the language.  \nVocabulary can be categorized mainly into content words and function words. Content words are productive to accept the addition of new words, such as; verbs, nouns, and adjectives. To communicate in English, the students must master at least these three main kinds of content words. Function words are not easy to add new items or lose the old one. They include prepositions, conjunctions, pronouns, adverbs and verbs. These functional words are used to make the construction grammatical. This research only focuses on concrete noun. This topic is productively used in Junior High School. The students study it based on descriptive texts. This type of text describes things, people, or place. When the students describe things, they need concrete nouns, such as, animals and rooms. In order to understand descriptive texts or to describe an object in English, students must have sufficient concrete nouns.  \nIn learning vocabulary, many aspects need to learn by the students. They are meaning, spelling, pronunciation, and the use of words. This research focuses on two aspects. They are meaning and spelling. The students in this level are expected to memorize the words with the spelling and the meaning. The students must know the meaning of words in order to understand spoken texts, to understand written texts, and to express ideas via speaking and writing. According to the pre-observation, most of the students cannot maste","cbCaiieEcM4xBcIS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiieEcM4xBcIS","pdf",456267,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction and Vocabulary Concepts\n## Vocabulary Types and Concrete Nouns\n## Learning Vocabulary Aspects\n# Teaching Technique: Crossword Puzzle\n## Games for Vocabulary Mastery\n## Definition and Use of Crossword Puzzle","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this research?\",\"answer\":\"To find out how effective crossword puzzles are for enriching Year-8 students’ vocabulary.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the research data collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected from pre-test and posttest results, then analyzed using the Effect Size (ES) formula.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the research results?\",\"answer\":\"The effect size is 1.27 (\\u003e 1.00), categorized as strong, indicating crossword puzzles are very effective for teaching vocabulary.\"}]","TEACHING VOCABULARY ON CONCRETE NOUN THROUGH CROSSWORD PUZZLE - Research | PDF",1790651868]
