effective to improve students’ vocabulary mastery or not. Quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control group
design is used as research design in this study. Hatch and Farhady 1982 state that nonequivalent control group design means that there are two groups in the
study; experimental group and control group, both groups have the same level but they used different methods of teaching in the teaching and learning process.
In this study, both groups were given pre-test which was conducted at the beginning of the study, and post-test was given at the end of the study. The result
of those tests was used to investigate whether or not there is any significant difference between the experimental group and control groups. The research
design used can be represented in the following chart:
