CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Research Design
In conducting the research, the researcher applied quasi experimental pre-test and post test control group design. Quasi experimental design is a research design that
inculde assignment, but not rendom assignment of participants to groups. This is because the experimenter cannot artificially create groups for the experiment.
1
It means that we do not have the opportunity for random assignment of students to
special groups in different conditions. It means that in quasi experimental research the researcher does not randomly assign the students. The researcher assigned the sample
by taking randomly the class of the students, so it would not disrupt the classroom learning.
The common term for this type of group of participants is intact. For that, the researcher choosed two classes, one as control class and the other as the experimental
class. The research design could be presented as follows:
G
1
= T1
X T2
G
2
= T1
O T2
Note: G
1
= Group one experimental class G
2
= Group two control class

T
1
= Pre-test T
2
= Post-test X
= treatment by using Fan-N-Pick Technique O
= treatment by using translation Technique.

In this research, the students were given pre-test to know their basic skill in vocabulary mastery. The result of the pre-test were used to indicate students’
vocabulary to measure their previous ability before treatment X. At the end of the research, students were given post-test in order to know their achievement after the
treatment using Fan-N-Pick technique.
B. Variable of The Research
A variable is a characteristic or attribute of an individual or an organization that a researcher can measure or observe and varies among individuals or organization
studied.
3
There are two variables in research namely: independet variable and dependent variable. Independent variable is the major variable which is investigated.
It is the variable that is selected, manipulated and measured in the research. While the dependent variable is the variable which is observed and measured to determine the
effect of the independent variable.
In this research, there are two variables namely: 1. The independent variable of the research is the use of Fan-N-Pick technique X
2. The dependent variable of the research is the students’ vocabulary mastery Y
