Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Extensive Reading in improving students’ vocabulary mastery at the eighth grade of SMP Immanuel Bandar Lampung. A quantitative research design employing a one-group pre-test and post-test approach was applied. The sample consisted of 24 students from class VIII-A. The research instrument was a vocabulary test focusing on content words, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs commonly found in descriptive texts. The data were collected through a pre-test and a post-test and analyzed using SPSS 25. The results showed that the mean score of the students’ vocabulary mastery in the pre-test was 71, while the mean score in the post-test increased to 85.6, indicating an improvement of 14.57 points after the implementation of Extensive Reading. To determine whether the improvement was statistically significant, a paired sample t-test was conducted. The analysis revealed a t-value of 6.09 with 23 degrees of freedom and a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, which is lower than the significance level of 0.05. These results indicate that there was a statistically significant difference between students’ vocabulary mastery before and after the treatment. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It can be concluded that Extensive Reading is an effective strategy for improving students’ vocabulary mastery in reading at the junior high school level. Keywords: Extensive reading, vocabulary mastery, descriptive text, junior high school students.
