The aim of this research is to prove whether the fly swatter game can increase the
vocabulary of class VIII students at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi. This research uses a quasiexperimental research design. The population of this research was class VIII students
at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi. Researchers used purposive sampling and chose two groups:
VIII A and VIII B (experimental and control). The research instrument is a test which
is divided into two tests (pre-test and post-test). The results of this study show that
there is a significant difference in the increase in students' vocabulary after being
taught through the fly swatter game. Data analysis shows that the t-counted value
(2.739) is greater than the t-table value (1.687) by applying a significance level of
0.05 with degrees of freedom (df) = 39. This means that the hypothesis is accepted. In
other words, using the fly swatter game can make students more interested and
enthusiastic in learning new vocabulary and can be said to increase the vocabulary
understanding of class VIII students at SMP Negeri 5 Sigi. Apart from that, the fly
swatter game can be used as an interesting teaching and learning method and can
improve students' understanding of vocabulary.
