This research intended to know the effectiveness of Four Corner game for
teaching vocabulary at the first grade students of SMP N 1 Bawang at the Second
Semester in the Academic Year 2017/2018.Using quasi experimental research of
the game by focusing on meaning and noun in vocabulary aspects for shopping
list material, the writer used two classes (VII C, VII G) of the school to collect
data. VII C class to be the experimental class that was taught before studying and
doing the Pre-Test and the Post-Test. VII G class was the control class to get the
different data without using Four Corner game. The students did pre-test and posttest
then the result tests were compared with the experimental class. This activity
was to know the higher score between the experimental class and the control
class. The test consisted of multiple choice and matching test items. After
analyzing the data with the computation, t-test result was 4.868 and the result of ttable
at the significant level 0,05 with the degree of freedom 60 was 1.671. The
calculation of t-obtained with t-table was known that t-obtained was higher than ttable
(4.868 > 1.671). Based on the research result, it was obvious that Four
Corner game was effective to teach vocabulary at the school.
