Abstract

Based on the computation of the t-test formula of the scores of the post test on vocabulary achievement test, it showed that the statistical value of t-test was 3,65 while the value of t-table at significant level 5% with df (78) was 2.00. It means that the statistical value of t-test was higher than that of t-table. Consequently, the null hypothesis (H0): “The use of Visual Dictionary in vocabulary achievement does not have significant effect on the seventh grade students’ vocabulary achievement at SMPN 1 Sumberjambe in the 2010/2011 academic year” was rejected. On the other hand, the alternate hypothesis: “The use Visual Dictionary has a significant effect on the seventh grade students’ vocabulary achievement at SMPN 1 Sumberjambe in the 2010/2011 academic year” was accepted. Thus, it can be stated that Visual Dictionary significantly affected the seventh grade students’ vocabulary achievement at SMPN 1 Sumberjambe in the 2010/2011 academic year.
