Abstract

In addition, teachers rarely use media and teaching with repetition makes students feel bored. In this case, students understand more in learning vocabulary because they have to fulfill hidden words given by the teacher using crossword puzzles and make it easy for them to remember vocabulary in a different way, namely rewriting. The reason for using this game is because students can enjoy learning the target language. Posttest was used to measure post-treatment outcomes. Furthermore, a comparison of the post-treatment and pre-treatment results was carried out to determine the effectiveness of the crossword puzzle media. There is a difference in treatment between the experimental class and the control class. In the experimental class the researchers gave treatment using crossword puzzles as a medium to train students in learning vocabulary, while students in the control class were taught without using crosswords. In the pretest, the mean score of students on vocabulary test before carrying out CAR is 52.81. It means that there are only three who are able to pass the KKM, and there are 46 students who are not able to pass the KKM. There are 34 students whose pass the KKM, and there are 15 students whose score still under the KKM. First, related to the test result, there was 20.85% improvement of students’ mean score from pretest to the posttest of the second cycle. Keywords: improving, crossword,vocabulary
