students. In learning English, there is an important part that is the main key to
understand language, namely vocabulary. Vocabulary is the basis of a language,
therefore learning vocabulary is very important, because the language will not
have meaning without vocabulary.
This research examines how the second semester students of English
Education Department Unisma obtain vocabulary to get a high score in reading.
The participants in this study were 5 students from class D. A qualitative approach
research design was used to conduct this study. The instruments used to collect
the data was semi-structured interview. The interview consisted of 12 questions.
The researcher asked questions via WhatsApp and the participants answered them
via voice note. After conducting interviews with the participants, the data were
transcribed and arranged into written form. Then, the results were arranged into a
description.
The finding of this research showed thatthe students improved their
vocabularies by watching movies using English subtitles, reading online, reading
articles, listening music, and using dictionaries.
Based on the finding of the study,vocabulary acquisition can be obtained
by the habit of carrying out activities such as reading books, magazines,
newspapers, e-books, captions, journals, etc. Listening to music can also improve
vocabulary because when students listened songs in English, they will look for the
song's lyrics and explore the song lyrics' meaning. Watching movies using
English subtitles also increased the students' vocabulary, when they didn't know
the meaning of the subtitle, they will look up for them, which results in improving
their vocabularies. | en_US |
