abstract: Based on the researcher’s experience as English teacher at SMPN 1 Adiluwih Pringsewu, it
was revealed that the students could not do reading exercise well due to lack of vocabulary.
Most of them got difficulties in understanding the content of text and spent a long time to
consult the dictionary to get the meaning of the words. Therefore, the researcher has
conducted a classroom action research using guessing word game, where students are
encouraged to find the right answer from other group by asking the clue using yes/no
questions. This technique is expected to increase students’ vocabulary achievement
especially in noun, verb and adjective, to improve the students’ participation as well as the
quality of teacher’s teaching performance.
The subject of this research is class VIII B consisting of 38 students. This research was
conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, acting, observation and
interpretation, analysis and reflection. The researcher used indicators dealing with the
learning product which covered the students’ score, the students’ participation during the
teaching learning process and the teacher’s performance. To collect the data of the learning
product, the researcher used vocabulary test and the data of the learning process used
observation checklist as the instrument.
The result of students’ vocabulary scores in Cycle 1 shows that only 20 students (52.63%) get
the score of ≥ 66. Meanwhile, after Cycle 2, 30 students get score (78.94%) which means
they have passed the KKM (Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal). The average scores in Cycle 1 is
64.68, in Cycle 2 is 73.60. For the students’ participation during the teaching learning
process, in Cycle 1, there are 25 students (66%) who follow ≥ 80% of the teaching learning
process and 35 students (92%) follow ≥ 80% in Cycle 2. Meanwhile, for the teacher’s
teaching performance, the teacher scores 69 in Cycle 1, and scores 82 in Cycle 2.
Referring to the result of the research above, it can be concluded that guessing word game
which improves the whole class’ involvement can be applied successfully in increasing the
students’ vocabulary achievement, the students’ participation, as well as the teacher’s
performance at SMPN 1 Adiluwih Pringsewu.
