The vocabulary mastery of English students at the 2nd grade of SMP N 1 Harau was often constrained by the problem of the lack of students’ ability to remember vocabulary. Students had little vocabulary and they thought English was difficult to learn.

The research used a quantitative approach with a research design used a quasi-experimental. In this study, the researcher used 2 classes as the sample class, which consisted of the experimental class and the control class.
