Abstract

Belajar kosakata adalah langkah awal untuk belajar bahasa asing Namun, hasil belajar bahasa Inggris siswa di Indonesia masih dibawah rata-rata. Hal ini mungkin disebabkan oleh keterbatasan kosakata siswa yang mempengaruhi kemampuan mendengar, berbicara, menulis dan membaca. Studi ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah penggunaan handphone dan flashcards dapat meningkatkan pemerolehan kosakata siswa dan juga untuk melihat persepsi siswa kelas X terhadap penggunaan handphone dalam belajar kosakata. Penelitian ini menggunakan nonrandomized kontrol group pretest dan posttest. Sampel penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas X SMA Negeri 4 Lahat. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh dengan menggunakan test dan angket. Data yang diperoleh dianalisa dengan menggunakan one-way ANOVA. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan yang signifikan dalam pemerolehan kosakata siswa dengan menggunakan handphone dan flashcards setelah diberikan perlakuan. Pemerolehan kosakata siswa dengan menggunakan handphone lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan siswa yang menggunakan flashcards. Dari studi ini diketahui juga bahwa siswa kelas X SMA Negeri 4 Lahat memiliki persepsi positif terhadap pembelajaran kosakata dengan menggunakan handphone.

Learning vocabulary is the fundamental step to learn a foreign language. Vocabulary gives contribution to the learners to perform or practice their skills better. However, Indonesian students’ English score is still below average. It may be caused by their limited vocabulary which influence their listening comprehension, speaking, writing and reading abilities. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to see whether the use of mobile phone and flashcard could improve students vocabulary achievement and also to see the perceptions of the tenth grade students of learning vocabulary via mobile phone. The nonrandomized control group pretest-posttest design was applied in this study. The sample of the study was 90 first year students of Sekolah Menengah Atas Negeri 4 Lahat. The primary data were obtained by means of the tests and questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The results of the study showed that there was significant progress in the vocabulary achievement of the students using vocabulary learning program in mobile phones and flashcards after the treatment. The vocabulary achievement of the students using vocabulary learning program in mobile phone was higher than using flashcards. From this study it was also found that the tenth grade students had positive perception of learning vocabulary via mobile phones.
