The Use of Repetition Method to Improve Students’ Vocabulary
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of employing a repetition strategy in enhancing the vocabulary of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Sabu Barat. To accomplish this objective, several steps were undertaken. The researcher utilized a testing method to gather data for the study, including pre-testing, two treatment sessions, and post-testing thereafter. The obtained t-test result of 12.614 points exceeds the critical t-value of 1.717 at a significance level of 0.05, indicating that the Repetition approach may indeed yield improvements in students' vocabulary, as revealed by the study's findings. Consequently, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was supported. This suggests that the implementation of the Repetition approach can lead to an augmentation of students' English vocabulary skills.
