Abstract

Sinta Wulandari, 2025. Using Vocabulary Note Taking Strategy to Teach Vocabulary Acquisition
at Seventh Grade Of Junior High School 2 Mumbulsari Jember.
Vocabulary is central to language acquisition and of great significance to language
learners, especially for junior high school students in EFL contexts. However, many students at
Junior High School 2 Mumbulsari Jember struggles with vocabulary retention and application in
their language learning process. Previous studies have shown that traditional vocabulary teaching
methods often fail to develop student autonomy and personalization in vocabulary acquisition.
Vocabulary Note Taking Strategy offers a potential solution by encouraging students to become
autonomous learners through personalized vocabulary development, as demonstrated in several
previous research in EFL contexts.
This research aims to: (1) explore the implementation of Vocabulary Note-Taking Strategy
in Junior High School, and (2) identify the challenges faced by students when implementing this
strategy at the seventh grade of Junior High School 2 Mumbulsari Jember.The study addresses two
research questions: "How is Vocabulary Note-Taking Strategy implemented in Junior High School?"
and "What challenges do students face when implementing Vocabulary Note-Taking Strategy?
This research used descriptive qualitative method. The participants in the research were 26
students of 7 A for questionnaire, 1 English teacher and 3 students for interviews. The data were
collected by using questionnaire and interview. The data analysis used in this research was
interactive analysis according to Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. While, for the validity of data, the
researcher used source triangulation and technical triangulation.
The research results were that the teacher explained about the goal and benefit of using
Vocabulary Note-Taking Strategy and gave the students an example of the format. Then, modelling
how to fill in notes. The teacher giving active guidance to the students. Students collaborate to share
their notes each other. Finally, the teacher gave them an evaluation. Over-reliance on verbatim
transcription means they must focus on what the teacher writes on the blackboard. They will lose
some information if they don't pay attention to the teacher. Incomplete or unorganized notes mean
students with good notes, it can make it easier for them to study. So they should identify the main
poin of what teacher said in the class. Lack of involvement means that it can reduce the
understanding of students in the class, as they focus too much on the notes.Finding the appropriate
balance it means finding the appropriate balance is Knowing which information is essential and
which is merely supporting detail is key to this problem. Adapting to varied learning styles it means
adapting to varied learning styles or only for some students. Each individual needs to discover and
adapt note-taking strategies that best align with their personal learning style.
