A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN NATURAL APPROACH AND QUANTUM LEARNING METHOD IN TEACHING VOCABULARY TO THE STUDENTS OF ENGLISH CLUB AT SMPN 1 RUMPIN

Abstract

There are many techniques used in teaching English vocabulary. In this thesis the writer uses two different techniques, quantum learning and natural approach as a comparative study to find the effective technique in teaching English vocabulary. The writer observed two groups, namely Group A who were taught by using quantum learning and group B who were taught using natural approach. The aims of study from this thesis are to find out the similarities and differences between natural approach and quantum learning method and also to describe the way the teacher teaches vocabulary when natural approach and quantum learning method implement in school and what kind of vocabulary that used by the teacher, the problems faced by the teacher in teaching English vocabulary when implement natural approach and quantum learning method, the solutions used by the teacher to overcome the problems when natural approach and quantum learning method implement in teaching English vocabulary, and of course to find out method which is better to teach vocabulary. The result of the analysis shows that the students are more interested in English vocabulary using quantum learning than using natural approach. As the result of the study shows that observed t = 1.874 and the table t = 1.7235 (observed t > table t). It means that teaching vocabulary using quantum learning is more effective than using natural approach.
