Abstract

Vocabulary is important in improving language skills by stating, "without
grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be
conveyed (Wilskin,1972).” With sufficient vocabulary, students are expected to
speak, write, read, and comprehend effectively. For communication purposes,
vocabulary is more important than grammar. However, learning English in
schools often faces challenges in improving students' vocabulary. These
challenges are caused by various factors, such as time constraints, unengaging
teaching methods, and a lack of effective motivational activities. As a result,
students’ mastery of English vocabulary remains minimal.
This study focuses on the questions "How can the use of short movies in
learning improve the English vocabulary of Grade X.A students at MA Darus
Sholah Jember?" and "What type of vocabulary which improves the most after
being taught through short Movies in grade X.A at MA Darus Sholah Jember?"
with the aim of determining the effectiveness of using short films to improve
students' vocabulary.
This study was conducted using quantitative research with the one group
pre-test post-test design method. The sample of this study was class X.A MA
Darus Sholah Jember, totaling 22 students consisting of 12 male and 10 female.
The research instrument in this study was in the form of pre-test and post-test
questions, each multiple choice consisting of 20 questions. The steps of this study
were to give a pre-test first, then given treatment with “Nobar” short films and
finally given a post-test.
The results of this study indicate that the pre-rest and post-test scores in
class X.A increased from 1,180 to 1,905 with average scores of 53.63 and 86.59.
The significance value <0.001 is smaller than 0.05, which indicates that the use of
short films has a significant effect on students' vocabulary mastery. The highest
score in the pre-test was 80 and the lowest was 20 while in the post-test the
highest score was 100 and the lowest was 70. Based on the data analysis that has
been mentioned previously, it can be concluded that Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)
is accepted and Null Hypothesis (H0) is rejected, meaning that there is a
significant influence of the use of short movies to improve the vocabulary of class
X.A students of MA Darus Sholah Jember.
