1. Results from Students’ Vocabulary Learning Strategies
As has been mentioned previously, the results of students‟ vocabulary
learning strategies are obtained from the close-ended questionnaire. The data are the quantitative data gathered from thirty close-ended questions related to the
students‟ vocabulary learning strategies and the principles of CALL since this study discusses the use of IPALL to learn vocabulary. The results are used to
answer the first research question about the vocabulary learning strategies that mostly used by students in learning vocabulary IPALL. The questionnaire was
distributed in X AK 1 and X MM class. In purpose of computing the scores, The Likert Scale was used for the scoring analysis by applying the check number
categories 1 to 4 for strongly disagree to strongly agree. The researcher uses 4 scale in order to obtain the rigor data. Table 4.1. presents the four check number
categories used to assess t he student‟s vocabulary learning strategies IPALL.

The check number of Likert scale categories is useful for computing the questionnaire result. Then, the converted score is useful for economizing the
calculation space in Microsoft Excel. In order to give the illustration of the result, the researcher gives the scoring criteria. The criteria are attained based on the
meaning of the check number of categories and the interval scores that have been presented previously. The scoring criteria of the students‟ vocabulary learning
strategies adopted in IPALL are presented as follows:
Table 4.2. The Mean Criteria Sudijono, 2009: 175
Mi + 1.5 SDi | = | 0 + 1.5 . 0.8 | = | 1.2 Mi + 0.5 SDi | = | 0 + 0.5. 0.8 | = | 0.4
Mi - 0.5 SDi | = | 0 – 0.5 .0.8 | = | -0.4
Mi – 1.5 SDi | = | 0 – 1.5 . 0.8 | = | -1.2
The very high score indicates that the indicators receive the most strategies used by the students. The range is from 1.2
– 2. In line with it, the high score shows that the students agree with the indicators or that the indicators are just
used. The range is from 0.4 – 1.1. Next, the low score points out that the
respondents do not use the strategies. The range is from -0.4 – 1.0. The last, the
very low score specifies that the respondents do not strongly use the indicators. The range is from -2
– -0.3. By the check number categories in Likert Scale, which help the students
in deciding each phenomenon item and considering the scoring criteria, as well, interpretations of the score achieved of each phenonemon. Table 4.3. presents the
interpretations of the scores for the questionnaire items.
