INTRODUCTIONVocabulary is a total number of words which (with roles forcombining them) make up alanguage.This definition tells us not only the number of words one knows but also the rulesfor combining the words to make up a language.

METHOD OF THE RESEARCH3.1 Design of the researchThis research apply pre-experimental design, it describes the quantitativedegree in which variables is related. It is also reasonable that the researcher intendedto examine the cause and effect between two variables, song lyric as independentvariable and students’ vocabulary of verb as dependent variable. According L. R.Gay (1986:207), experimental method is the only method of research that can trulytest hypotheses concerning cause and effect relationships.This experimental designused pre-experimental research design (one grouppretest-posttest design) designed by Sugiyono (2011) as follows:3.2 Population and samplesample, this research applied purposive sampling. The researcher took one class,was VIIIE class as a sample of this research. In this research, the researcherconducted the researcher at SMP 3 Tolitoli.Where :O1 : PretestX : Experiment groupO2 : Posttest3.2 Procedure of Collecting DataThere are three stages in doing experimental research; the first pretest wasdoing before treatment, the second treatment for fifth meetings and the last posttestwas doing after gave treatment to find out increasing students’ vocabulary by usingsong lyric3.4 Procedure of Analysing DataIn order for the raw scores to become more meaningfull numerical data, theresearcher should  converted to numerical data which have been processed to theO1 X O2JME  Volume 5, No.7 Desember 2017 ; hlm 487-494 Increasing  Students’ Vocabulary…. Hidayati491scale of 0 to 100. In analyzing the numerical data, first the researcher try to getstudents’ individual score by using formula proposed by sutomo(1985:123).Normality tests are for testing whether the input data is normally distributed.The normality test is the statistics formula of chi-square for match test (Sugiyono,2011: 172) is :Xh2=∑(∫ ∫ )Where :fo = frequency of research resultfh = frequency of theoreticalThe criteria used to test the normality of the test is :a. If the result significance level ( h2 ≤ xt2) , it indicates that the data is normallydistributed.b. If the result significance level ( h2> xt2), it indicates that the data is not normallydistributed.Then the researcher computed the mean score of students from pretest and posttestby using the formula proposed by L.R. Gay, 1986:298 as follows:= ∑Where :X = Mean score∑ = Total score of respondentN = The number of respondentAfter getting the mean score of both tests, the researcher computed thecorrelation score of the students. The researcher used a formula proposed bySugiyono (2013:187) as follows:= ∑√∑Rxy = Correlation  score both of pretest and posttest∑xy = Total score.To know the standard deviation between pretest and posttest, the researcher appliedthe following formula proposed by sugiyono (2011: 122):S2= ∑ (∑ )( )Where :S2 = Standard deviationX = The sum of convert scoreN = The total number of sampleThe last, the researcher analyzed the data to know the significant difference or testinghypothesis by using tcount formula as proposed by Arikunto (2002:281) as follow:=−+ − 2√ √Where:= Mean of pretest= Mean of posttest= Standard deviation of pretest= Standard deviation of posttest= The total number of pretestJME  Volume 5, No.7 Desember 2017 ; hlm 487-494 Increasing  Students’ Vocabulary…. Hidayati492= The total number of posttest= Correlation ScoreFinally, it was found tcountfrom both of pretest andposttest. Then, it was checked with critical value of ttable at 0.05 level of significanceof t test. The null hypothesis will be accepted and the alternative hypothesis was berejected when tcount is higher than ttable. On the other hand, the null hypothesis was berejected and the alternative hypothesis was be accepted when tcount is higher than ttable.4.
