ABSTRAK

Barokah, Umi. 2015. “Pengajaran Kosakata Bahasa Inggris untuk Siswa Kelas

Lima SDN Wilalung 02 Demak Tahun Ajaran 2014/2015 Menggunakan

Magic Matchbox Game”. Skripsi: Program Studi Bahasa Inggris,

Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Muria Kudus.

Dosen Pembimbing: (i) Drs. Suprihadi, M.Pd. (ii) Aisyah Ririn

Perwikasih Utari, S.S, M.Pd.

Kata kunci: Penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris, Magic matchbox game

Kosakata bahasa Inggris adalah salah satu unsur dalam bahasa yang

tidak dapat di pisahkan dari pengajaran bahasa Inggris karena kosakata bahasa

Inggris menghubungkan kemampuan dalam mendengarkan, berbicara, membaca

dan menulis. Siswa yang memiliki penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris yang

kurang menemukan beberapa kesulitan dalam memahami bahasa Inggris. Mereka

kesulitan dalam mengungkapkan gagasan mereka yang berkaitan dengan materi

karena mereka tidak mengetahui bagaimana menerapkannya dalam bahasa

Inggris.Dalam proses mengajar, guru harus memilih media yang sesuai

berdasarkan kondisi siswa, tujuan pengajaran dan materi pelajaran. Magic match

box game adalah salah satu media pengajaran yang dapat membuat siswa lebih

tertarik dan termotivasi.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada atau tidak

perbedaan yang signifikan antara penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa kelas

lima SDN Wilalung 02 tahun ajaran 2014/2015 sebelum dan sesudah diajar

menggunakan magic match box game.

Desain penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen dengan menggunakan

kelompok tunggal.Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas lima SDN

Wilalung 02 tahun ajaran 2014/2015.Subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa di kelas

lima yang terdiri dari 20siswa. Instrument penelitian yang digunakan oleh penulis

adalah tes.Bentuk tes tersebut yaitu pilihan ganda dan terdiri dari dua puluh soal.

Hasil penelitian ini, telah ditemukan bahwa penguasaan kosa kata bahasa

Inggris siswa kelas lima SDN Wilalung 02 Demak tahun ajaran 2014/2015

sebelum diajar menggunakan magic match box game dikategorikan cukup. Nilai

rata-rata adalah 63.7 dan standar deviasi adalah 13.95. Sementara itu, penguasaan

kosa kata bahasa Inggris kelas lima SDN Wilalung 02 Demak tahun ajaran

2014/2015 sesudah diajar menggunakan magic match box game dikategorikan

sangat baik. Nilai rata-rata adalah 79.2 dan standar deviasi adalah 11.04.

Perhitungan t-observation (to) 9.81 lebih tinggi dari t-table (tt) 2.093 dengan

tingkat signifikan 5%. Ini berarti bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara

penguasaan kosa kata bahasa Inggris kelas lima SDN Wilalung 02 Demak tahun

ajaran 2014/2015 sebelum dan sesudah diajar dengan magic match box game.

Berdasarkan hasil diatas, penulis menyarankan agar guru bahasa Inggris

mampu menggunakan magic matchbox game sebagai media alternative untuk

mengajar kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa. Guru disarankan untuk menggunakan

magic matchbox game sebagai salah satu media untuk menarik perhatian dan

semangat siswa dalam proses pembelajaran.
