| dc.description.abstract | Vocabulary is one of language components that plays an important role in
the process of learning English. Tarigan (1989:2) argues that the quality of someone‘s
language skill depends on his quality and quantity of vocabulary they have. The
richer someone masters vocabulary, the bigger chance to master the language. In
learning vocabulary, students have difficulty in memorizing the meaning of the word.
This statement is in line with Batia’s idea (1988:6) who says that most of the
problems in vocabulary learning pertain to the acquisition of meaning. Because of
that reason, the teacher needs to use a technique that can help the students in
understanding the meaning of vocabulary easily.
To solve the problem above, the researcher used Bingo Game as a technique
to help the students memorize and understand the meaning of new vocabulary. The
researcher used game because it can create relax atmosphere and can motivate
students in learning. As Ludewig and Swan (2007: xi) say games are fun and fun is
motivating. Moreover Wright et.al (1996:1) say that games not only can encourage
and help students sustain their interest and work but they can also help the teacher to
create context in which language can be meaningful and useful. This means that
Games can be very useful and meaningful in language learning process.
The purpose of this research was to know whether or not there is a
significant effect of using Bingo Game on Grade Seven Students’ Vocabulary
achievement at SMPN 1 Sempu Banyuwangi.
