The detail result of instruments used in the first cycle can be seen below:
1 The Result of Students’ Vocabulary Achievement Cycle 1
To know the result of students’ vocabulary achievement, first, the researcher needs to calculate the mean score. The mean score derived
from the following formula:
_ = 58 X
Then, the researcher c alculated the class percentage that’s passed
the Minimum Mastery Criterion, using the following formula: 100

The data showed that the mean score of posttest 1 was 58.0. There were eighteen students or 60 of the students who got the score above
the Minimum Mastery Criterion, meanwhile the other 12 students were below that criterion.
It implied that the first criterion has not fulfilled. Based on the result of the students’ vocabulary achievement in the
cycle 1, there w as an increase of students’ mean score from the
students’ vocabulary achievement on the preliminary study to the students’ vocabulary achievement on the first cycle. It was from
preliminary study mean score from the mean class 49.6 increased to 58.0 or from 5 students who passed the score above the Minimum
Mastery Criterion to 18 students .
That means that there was 16.9 of mean score improvement. The improvement percentage derived from
the formula:
