Teacher’s Strategies In Teaching English Vocabulary at SMPN 1 Tanjungpinang

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to outline the methods that educators employ when instructing
students in language. Qualitative descriptive research examines information gathered from
English teachers' interviews. Considering the outcomes, inferences regarding the teacher's
tactics have been drawn from the interviews. The instructors that are employed include: (1)
Game Use: Teachers play games like "scramble for word meaning," look for synonyms and
antonyms, and translate terms in English. (2) Using a Student Ability Level-Based
Approach Three groups of students are formed: Low-level: To encourage interest in
English, learning is made more enjoyable and participatory. High and medium level: a
more somber strategy with difficult assignments and minimal gameplay. (3) Making
Vocabulary Development a High Priority Teachers are aware that students' inadequate
vocabulary is the biggest barrier to learning English. In order for pupils to be prepared for
a higher level of learning and comprehend the material more readily, the emphasis is
placed on vocabulary development. (4) Technology Utilization: Worksheets and Quizizz are
examples of digital media that are used to add variety and interest to learning. (5) Language
Approach: Teachers aid pupils in understanding concepts by selecting simpler terms,
offering synonyms, or supplying equations in Indonesian. (6) Rewards as Motivation:
Students are encouraged to compete and learn more enthusiastically by receiving the
reward.
