Game. Hangaroo game is a kind of games by filling the blank. Hangaroo game

can be used as one of teaching media to make teaching English vocabulary more

Salah satu bagian dalam menciptakan dan pemahaman bahasa adalah

penguasaan kosa kata. Seseorang tidak bisa mengutarakan pendapat mereka dan

ide dalam bahasa inggris tanpa mengetahui kosa kata mereka. Pada kenyataanya,

guru bahasa inggris di SD N 2 Raguklampitan Jepara mengatakan bahwa siswa

kelas lima masih kesulitan untuk menguasai kosa kata. Mereka kesulitan untuk

menggunakan kosa kata yang benar dalam sebuah kalimat. Jadi teknik yang

digunakan oleh guru adalah teknik yang biasa yang juga kurang menyenangkan

pasa proses belajar mengajar. Karena alasan tersebut, penulis ingin menggunakan

teknik yang menarik dalam mengajar penguasaan kosa kata, teknik tersebut adalah

Hangaroo Game. Hangaroo game adalah salah satu permainan dengan mengisi

bagian yang kosong. Hangaroo Game dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu media

pengajaran untuk membuat pembelajaran kosa kata Bahasa Inggris lebih menarik.

Dengan aplikasi media tersebut, siswa akan lebih tertarik dan mmenikmati selama

proses belajar mengajar.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan

yang signifikan antara kemampuan kosa kata pada siswa kelas V SD N 2

Raguklampitan Jepara di tahun ajaran 2014/2015 sebelum dan sesudah

menggunakan Hangaroo Game.

Penelitian ini menggunakan sebuah penelitian eksperimental dengan satu

kelompok pre-test post-test. Populasi yang digunakan oleh penulis adalah siswa

kelas V SD N 2 Raguklampitan Jepara di tahun ajaran 2014/2015. Penulis

menggunakan tes sebagai instrumen penelitian. Jenis tes yang digunakan adalah

tes pilihan ganda. Tes ini terdiri dari 20 pertanyaan.

Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat signifikansi 5% dan

derajat kebebasan (df) N-1 = 21, ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara

kemampuan kosa kata siswa kelas V SD N 2 Raguklampitan sesudah

menggunakan Hangaroo Game tahun ajaran 2014/2015 dan sebelum

menggunakan Hangaroo Game. Hal ini ditunjukkan dari hasil perhitungan t-

observasi (t₀) adalah 7.8, sedangkan t-tabel 2,08. Ini berarti hipotesis nol ditolak

dan hipotesis alternatif diterima (t₀ = 7.8> tt = 2.08). Kemampuan kosa kata

siswa kelas V SD N 2 Raguklampitan yang diajar dengan menggunakan Hangaroo

Game tahun ajaran 2014/2015 tergolong “baik” (Mean = 66.4 dan SD = 11.16).

Sedangkan kemampuan kosa kata siswa kelas V SD N 2 Raguklampitan tanpa

menggunakan Hangaroo Tahun Ajaran 2014/2015 tergolong “rendah” (Mean =

53.22dan SD = 13.5)

xii

Setelah mengetahui hasil penelitian ini nilai dari kemampuan kosa kata

siswa kelas V SD N 2 Raguklampitan Jepara sesudah menggunakan Hangaroo

Game tahun ajaran 2014/2015 lebih tinggi dari pada sebelum menggunakan

Hangaroo Game. Dengan demikian , penulis menyarankan bahwa guru harus

mampu menciptakan proses belajar mengajar yang lebih menarik , inovatif , dan

menyenangkan . Guru dapat menggunakan Hangaroo Game dalam mengajar

kemampuan kosa kata karena Hangaroo Game adalah sebuah teknik yang efektif

untuk mengajar kosa kata.
