can be mastered 55 by the students. It means that almost more than a half of the respondents who can answer the questions correctly, i.e. 11 students.
The table shows that there are only 6 words that can be mastered 45 by the students and there are 2 words mastered by the students 40. Forty five
percent means only 9 students can match the words correctly, while 40 means that there only 8 students who can match the words correctly. There is only a
word which is mastered by the students 35, and also 30 mastery. Thirty five percent and 30 means there are only 7 and 6 students can answer the question
correctly. Two academic words mastered 20 by the students and 4 academic words mastered only 5. Twenty percent shows that there are only 4 students that
can answer the questions correctly and 5 means that there is a student answers the questions correctly. The words mastered 10 means that there are only 2 of
20 students who are able to master the words. From this explanation, it can be seen that the less the percentage, the less
the students’ mastery of each word. However, the students’ mastery of academic words can be known from 100 word mastered to 55 word mastered by the
twelve grade students because 55 up to 100 means that more than a half respondents in this research are able to master the words well. In this discussion,
the students’ mastery of academic words is analyzed entirely and based on the lexical category from 55 up to 100 mastery.

It is mentioned in the table 4.8 that the number of nouns in the vocabulary tests are 335, while the words matched 100 correctly by the students are 205.
The students’ mastery of nouns is also showed in the table, i.e. 61.19. This number shows that the students are able to master more than a half of the numbers
of nouns that often occur in their study in senior high school. The other 130 nouns are not 100 mastered and they will be discussed in the next sections.
The table shows that the number of verbs mastered 100 by the twelve grade students are only 45 words of 123 words and their mastery of verbs is
35.58, while the other verbs are mastered below 100. A hundred percent mastery in this finding means that all of the students can understand the meanings
of the words and they are able to match the words and the meanings correctly. If the mastery is below 100, it means that not all of the students are able to master
the words. Based on the table, the twelve grade students’ mastery of adjectives are
able to achieve 48.33 mastery of adjectives that often occur in their academic textbooks. Adjectives that they master 100 are 58 words. The other 62
adjectives are not mastered 100 and it shows that those words cannot be mastered by all of the students taken as the samples of this research.

words. They are automatically, nonetheless, overall, temporarily, thereby, and visibly
, while the other adverbs are only mastered 95 below. It is obviously seen in the table that there are only 3 conjunctions tested in
this research and all the conjunctions are mastered 100 by the twelve grade students. It means that though there are only a few numbers of conjunctions in the
test, all of the students can master those words 100. The table shows that the students’ mastery of conjunctions is good since they can achieve 100 mastery of
conjunctions tested in the academic vocabulary tests. The conjunctions are: albeit, despite,
and whereas. The analysis of the students’ mastery of academic words based on the
lexical category above shows that the number of words mastered 100 in table 4.8 is equal to the number of academic words mastered 100 in table 4.8, i.e. 317
words. On the other hand, it can be said that there are 317 academic words 100 mastered by the twelve grade students in SMA Negeri 1 Wonosari.
