The method of the research was quasiexperimental. The sample of the research was the students of third semester English Education Study Program at Cenderawasih University. It consisted of 36 students who were divided into two groups, i.e., Newspaper group and Short Story group, which were given the texts as a treatment based on their name's group. The test -2,000-VLT design of Nation-was used as the primary instrument test to measure the students'vocabulary size before and after given treatment. After analyzing the data, both groups demonstrated a significant increase in vocabulary size. The Newspapers group increased from 1,206 to 1,556 words, while the Short Story group shows the mean 1,134 words moved up to 1,469 words. However, the T-test shows that the vocabulary size of both the Newspaper group and Short Story group is not different significantly.  \nKeywords: Effect, Vocabulary Size, Reading, Newspaper, Short Story  \nINTRODUCTION  \nNowadays, in the teaching and learning of foreign languages, vocabulary is essential to be concerned. The learners with adequate vocabulary are more proficient in mastering English skills instead of students with smaller vocabularies. Some evidence also supported that having a wide range of vocabularies make a significant contribution to almost all aspect of L2 proficiency.  \nENGLISH FRANCA : Academic Journal of English Language and Education  \nVol. 4, No. 1, 2020, IAIN Curup  \nP-ISSN 2580-3670, E-ISSN 2580-3689  \nHence, vocabulary is the fundamental element of all four skills. Without words, it is impossible to use the language effectively in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Vocabulary, as one of the knowledge areas in language, plays a great role for learners in acquiring a language (Cameron, 2001) .  \nBased on that importance of foreign language, practically vocabulary should be given prior attention. In Indonesia, research studies on vocabulary are needed to understand the role of vocabulary in L2 learning and to overcome teaching-learning problems related to vocabulary acquisition. Besides, the studies are needed to figure out the lexical competence of Indonesian learners of English. The result of vocabulary size studies revealed that English language learners in Indonesia are still low. For example, the vocabulary size of the seniors of 15 English Department averaged about 2800 word families only (Kweldju, 2004) whether the average vocabulary size of the entire English Department students in Indonesia is about 1800 words only. Whereas, for the third grade of students' English Department of Cenderawasih University showed the best performance just on average 1220 words tested by the writer using 2,000 words. Regarding students'vocabulary size, teachers need to start from the most frequently-used words, knowing the meaning of vocabulary frequency list is crucial. The 2,000-word level is the level that mostly used for university students. However, this does not mean that teachers or lectures need to provide students with the list of all meanings of those frequent words and ask them to memorize. Learning vocabulary using texts is commonly used since memorizing words list is regarded as burdening the learners. While reading texts, unconsciously, the learners attempt to find out the lexicon of the unknown words. Unconsciously those lexicons are stored in their mind, and the vocabulary size increases rapidly.  \nPonniah (2011) states that the reading process is subconsciousr","cbCaihTAk2201Uxe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihTAk2201Uxe","pdf",1021082,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To examine the effect of reading newspapers and short stories on students' vocabulary size and to determine whether there is a significant difference between the two reading groups at the third semester.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted?\",\"answer\":\"The study used a quasiexperimental design with 36 third-semester English Education students divided into two groups based on the treatment texts they read.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the results on vocabulary size and group differences?\",\"answer\":\"Both the Newspaper group and the Short Story group demonstrated significant increases in vocabulary size, but the T-test showed that their vocabulary size gains were not significantly different.\"}]","The Effect of Reading Newspaper and Short Stories on Students' Vocabulary Size at Cenderawasih University | PDF",1790875996,45]
