3.4.3.4 The Calculation of Effect Size
To find out whether or not the independent variables give significant influence to the dependent variable, the effect size was also used in the present
study. The effect size in the independent t-test refers to how strongly the independent variable affected the dependent variable Coolidge, 2000:151. The
formula of the effect size:
r =
�
2
�
2
+ ��
Where: r = effect size
t = t

or t value from the calculation of the independent t-test df = degree of freedom
To interpret the magnitude of the effect size, this study used the scale below:

In analyzing the data output of the interview, the answers of students on the interview were transcribed See Appendix A. The answers were then
categorized into several findings which relate to the students’ feeling towards the instructional activity by u
sing contextualization and the students’ opinion towards contextualization in terms of the advantages and the disadvantages. Then, the
findings were also elaborated based on students’ answers of the interview. It would be described deeply in chapter 4.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter presents the conclusions, limitation of the study, and suggestions. The conclusions are derived from the research result meanwhile, the
suggestions are addressed to the readers especially teachers of young learners and further researchers.
5.1 Conclusions
This study investigated the effectiveness of the implementation of contextualization in teaching vocabulary to the elementary students. Based on the
result of this study through several statistical computations, contextualization is effective in improving students’ vocabulary mastery. Besides, from the interview
result, students gave positive responses toward contextualization. Contextualization is effective since it brings the students fun during the
lesson so, students can enjoy the teaching-learning activity. Besides, it can assist the students to comprehend and memorize vocabulary in a long-term. This
happened because contextualization serves the activity that is related to the students’ experiences that makes them easy in grasping the materials given.
Contextualization also motivates students to learn English. It is the result of the advantages contextualization in keeping students fun during the lesson. The last,
