| Summary: | ABSTRACT One of problems for students in studying English in the class is Vocabulary Mastery. The vocabulary mastery is a main key to master listening, speaking, reading, and writing English skills. Therefore, a teacher needs appropriate vocabulary teaching technique. The technique is teaching vocabulary through sensory preferences of learning style. They are visual, auditory, and tactile- kinesthetic. The aim of this research is to know the effectiveness and significant difference of teaching vocabulary through sensory preferences of learning style to the seventh grade students of SMP Diponegoro 10 Pekuncen, Banyumas. The type of this research is quantitative and experimental. For validity and reliability of data, try-out test was calculated by using SPSS 16.0 software program. After that, the new objective test was designed; the new objective test is valid and reliable ones. The taken data were from the objective vocabulary test. By applying a random sampling technique, the valid and reliable total samples of Pre-test after being calculated are 42 students. The samples are divided into two groups; experimental and the control group. Then, the data were analyzed using the t-test method to find out the significant difference between the experimental group (using sensory preferences of learning style) as a treatment, and the control group (conventional technique). Furthermore, the Post-test data of treatment group is analyzed by using multiple linear regression analysis to reveal the most significant value of sensory preferences of learning style. The research results analysis of Independent Samples T-Test, the experimental group mean is = 84.76, and the control group mean is = 75.52. There is 13.59% improvement difference in the two groups. Thus, teaching Vocabulary through sensory preferences of learning style is better than Teaching Vocabulary conventionally. Besides, it can also be concluded that the t calculation value obtained (8.154) > t table (1.684), so H0 is refused and accept the H1 (alternative). Thus, the hypothesis that states that "there is a significant difference between teaching Vocabulary through sensory preferences of learning style and teaching Vocabulary without sensory preferences of learning style" is accepted. Furthermore, based on the regression coefficients table, the and t value among visual, auditory, and tactile-kinesthetic, the visual sensory preference of learning style has the lowest p value (p value=0.01) and the biggest t value (t value=4.151). Thus, the visual sensory preference of learning style has the most significant influence of all sensory preferences in vocabulary mastery. |
