ABSTRACT
Spassky, Titah Fahmi. 2013. Teaching English Vocabulary by Using Children’s
Rhymes for Fourth Grade Students of SD IT Luqman Al Hakim Kudus
in The Academic Year 2012/2013. Skripsi: English Education
Department Teacher Training and Education Faculty Muria Kudus
University. Advisors: (1) Ahdi Riyono, S.S, M.Hum, (2).
Nuraeningsih, S.Pd, M.Pd.
Key words : vocabulary, children’s rhymes.
Elementary school students are expected to master enough vocabulary to
support their English skills to the next level. When the students have known
enough vocabulary, it will help them to make their learning process go easier with
the maximum result. However, the fact shows that many students have difficulties
to master their English vocabulary. Children’s rhymes is one of the teaching
media that can make the students more interested and motivated.
The purpose of this research is to find out whether there is a significant
difference of the English vocabulary mastery of the fourth grade students of SD
IT Luqman Al Hakim Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 taught without and
by using Children’s rhymes.
The subject of the research is the fourth grade students of SD IT Luqman
Al Hakim Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 with the number of students 44.
The design of this research is experimental research with control group without
using pretest.
The result of the research showed that the mastery of English vocabulary
of the English vocabulary mastery of the fourth grade students of SD IT Luqman
Al Hakim Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 taught by using Children’s
rhymes is categorized excellent. The score of mean and standard deviation are
83.590 and 4.68. Meanwhile, the mastery of the English vocabulary mastery of
the fourth grade students of SD IT Luqman Al Hakim Kudus in the academic year
2012/2013 taught without using Children’s rhymes is categorized good. The score
of mean and standard deviation are 71.318 and 14.672. The calculation of t-test
gets result 3.757 and in the level of significant 0.05 and the degree of freedom (df)
42 which is gained (N1 - N2) - 2, t-table is 2.021. It is concluded that there is a
significant difference between the mastery of English vocabulary of the English
vocabulary mastery of the fourth grade students of SD IT Luqman Al Hakim
Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013 taught without and by using Children’s
rhymes.
Considering the process and the results of this research, I suggest that the
teacher should use an interesting media in teaching English, especially in the
English vocabulary mastery. One of them is Children’s rhymes as an alternative
media in teaching English vocabulary.

ABSTRAK
Spassky, Titah Fahmi. 2013. Pengajaran Kosakata Bahasa Inggris dengan
Menggunakan Rima Anak untuk Murid Kelas Empat SD IT Luqman Al
Hakim Kudus Tahun Akademik 2012/2013. Skripsi: Progdi Pendidikan
Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas
Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Ahdi Riyono, S.S, M.Hum, (2).
Nuraeningsih, S.Pd, M.Pd.
Kata kunci : kosakata, rima anak-anak.
Siswa SD diharapkan dapat menguasai kosakata yang cukup untuk
mendukung kemampuan bahasa Inggris mereka ke tingkat berikutnya. Ketika
siswa telah mengetahui kosakata yang cukup, hal ini akan membantu proses
belajar mereka menjadi lebih mudah dengan hasil yang maksimal. Namun, fakta
menunjukkan bahwa banyak siswa mengalami kesulitan untuk menguasai
kosakata bahasa Inggris mereka. Rima anak-anak merupakan salah satu media
pengajaran yang dapat membuat siswa lebih tertarik dan termotivasi.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan
yang signifikan pada penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa kelas empat SD
IT Luqman Al Hakim Kudus dalam tahun akademik 2012/2013 diantara kelas
yang diajarkan dengan menggunakan rima anak-anak dan yang tidak.
Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas empat SD IT Luqman Al
Hakim Kudus dalam tahun akademik 2012/2013 dengan jumlah siswa 44. Desain
penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental dengan menggunakan kontrol group
dan tampa menggunakan tes awal.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris
siswa kelas empat SD IT Luqman Al Hakim Kudus dalam tahun akademik
2012/2013 diajarkan dengan rima anak-anak dikategorikan sempurna. Nilai ratarata dan standar deviasi adalah 83.590 dan 4.68. Sementara itu, penguasaan
kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa kelas empat SD IT Luqman Al Hakim Kudus
dalam tahun akademik 2012/2013 diajarkan tanpa menggunakan rima anak-anak
dikategorikan baik. Nilai rata-rata dan standar deviasi adalah 71.318 dan 14.672.
Penghitungan t-test mendapatkan hasil 3.757 dan tingkat signifikan 0.05 dan
derajat kebebasan (df) 42 yang diperoleh dari (N1 - N2) - 2, t-tabel adalah 20.21.
Hal ini menyimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada penguasaan
kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa kelas empat SD IT Luqman Al Hakim Kudus
dalam tahun akademik 2012/2013 diantara kelas yang diajarkan dengan
menggunakan rima anak-anak dan yang tidak.
Mengingat proses dan hasil penelitian ini, saya menyarankan bahwa guru
harus menggunakan media yang menarik dalam mengajar bahasa Inggris,
terutama dalam penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris. Salah satunya adalah rima
anak-anak sebagai media alternatif dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris.
