Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether utilising a mnemonic device in SMP Negeri 3 Gunungsari's second class improved students' vocabulary mastery. The results show that there was a substantial difference in the student's vocabulary knowledge between before and after the Mnemonic Device Method was used to educate them. The population of the study was the second grade of SMP Negeri 3 Guhungsari Lombok Barat pupils. The sample for the study consisted of 57 students from SMP Negeri 3 Gunungsari, Lombok Barat. To ensure that the whole research population was represented, the researcher only picked one class from class IIA. Class IIA, which included 27 students total—15 women and 12 men—was the research sample. With the school's English teacher's consideration, the class selects one example. The researcher discovered a change in the student’s vocabulary competence between the pre-test and post-test in this study. The researcher found that the vocabulary t-test result was 13.41 and the vocabulary t-table was 2.056. This showed that the change in mean score between the pre-test and post-test that was statistically significant was 30.52 < 77.22
