Abstract

Key words: teaching vocabulary, guessing strategy

Vocabulary is one of the language components that plays a significant part in the development of English skills. English has four skills that should be mastered by students, and one of them is reading. Students can improve their vocabulary by actively reading, whether it be articles, descriptive texts, or so on. Guessing is one of the strategies that can help students enhance their vocabulary. At the MTSS Darul Mukhlisin, there have been difficulties increasing the vocabulary of the seventh graders. Firstly, students do not have enough time to learn English. Second, the students lack interest in enhancing their vocabulary. Third, the majors of teachers are not linear with a subject. As a result, the English teacher at MTSS Darul Mukhlisin used a guessing strategy as a trigger in reading descriptive text to enhance the students' vocabulary.
The research focus forms as follows: 1. What is the purpose of teaching vocabulary through guessing strategies in reading descriptive text to the seventh graders? 2. How are the steps in teaching vocabulary through guessing strategy in reading descriptive text to the seventh graders? 3. How is the evaluation of teaching vocabulary through guessing strategy in reading descriptive text to the seventh graders?
