Keywords:
English learning, Graphic organizer, vocabulary masteryAbstract
This study aimed to prove whether the use of the Graphic Organizer strategy (GOs) could improve students’ vocabulary building at ITB STIKOM Bali or not. The population of this study was the students in the first semester who were studying English for IT. Through cluster random sampling, the two classes were taken as samples in this study. They were assigned as experimental group and the control group by lottery. To obtain the required data, the two groups received different treatments. The experimental group was taught by using the Graphic Organizer strategy (GOs), while the control group was taught by using a conventional technique. The instruments used to collect the data in this study were a pretest, a posttest, and a teaching scenario. After analyzing the result was found that there was a significant difference between students’ vocabulary building at students who were taught using the GO strategy and those who were taught using the conventional vocabulary. The findings revealed that None (0%) of the students in the experimental group scored less than 10, while in the control group, there were 6 (17,6%) students who got a score less than ten.
