Abstract

This research was aimed at analyzing the comparison of vocabulary mastery between high and low reading interest students. A descriptive quantitative method was used in this research. The sample of the research was 34 tenth grade students dividing into two groups which were high interest group (17 students) and low interest group (17 students). Data was collected by a test instrument which was designed with five vocabulary aspects that were based on Hughes (1989) and Harmer (2001), and the questionnaire instrument was based on Arisma (2012) and Santrock (2004). The technique of data analysis was non-parametric statistic using Mann-Whitney Test Analysis because of the normality test result. The result of normality test proved that the score distribution was not normal since sig. counted is lower than sig. level of 5% (0.020 < 0.05). The result showed that the probability value (p value) of Mann-Whitney Test was 0.00 that was proved lower than the significant level 5% (0.05). Thus, there was a significant result. Moreover, the significant result was strengthened by the average score of the vocabulary test on each aspect which showed that high interest group got higher average score than the low group (71.9% > 46.6%). In brief, it can be concluded that the working hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, or in the other word the higher students’ interest in reading was the better vocabulary mastery will be.
