This research was conducted in the first-grade students of Junior High School 5 Praya in the academic year 2019/2020. This research used an experimental design in which it employed two groups pre-test and post-test. The experimental group was treated by using TTW, while the control group was treated by using Acrostic strategy. The two classes were chosen as the samples in this research which consist of 46 students. In analyzing the data, researchers applied statistical analysis. The result of the research showed that there was a significant effect of Think-Talk-Write (TTW) in students’ vocabulary mastery. The finding shows that the t-test value was higher than the t- table (8.693>1.680). Therefore, it comes to the conclusion that the hypothesis set is accepted (Ha).

JOLLT Journal of Languages and Language Teaching, 8(1) pp. 72-82 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33394/jollt.v8i1.2240 INTRODUCTION Vocabulary is an important element in learning a language. Vocabulary is the knowledge of the meanings of the word. What complicates this definition is the fact that words come in at least two forms: oral and written. According to Read (2000: 16), vocabulary is knowledge of knowing the meaning of words. They are elements that are combined to make accurate words choice, so it will effectively convey thoughts and ideas. Based on the researcher’s interview with one of the English teachers of first grade. The students are difficult to learn English, especially vocabulary. The problems faced are: they are difficult in creating a sentence because they are lack vocabulary, difficulty in memorizing new words and they are still frightened to say and to use some words in English when communicating with others. On the other hand, the teacher has difficulty to find good techniques or ways to teach vocabulary. This is the result of adding about a thousand words a year to the 5,000 he or she had acquired by the age of five (Thornburry, 2002:20). Moreover, to mastery vocabulary, students be able to know: (1) form of words, so that students know how the words are written, (2) position, so that students know grammatical patterns of word, (3) function of words, so that students are able to know where they can use the word, (4) meaning so that students are able to know what does the word mean. Allen (2007: 3) stated that most of us have struggled to teach vocabulary in meaningful and memorable ways to access the words in their reading, writing, and thinking. Therefore, the mastery of vocabulary is an important tool to enable students in understanding information or explanation. As in line with Helmi (2017:71) Vocabulary is a key to master mailto:siti Qomariyah & Nafisah Examining Think-Talk-Write Strategy… JOLLT Journal of Languages and Language Teaching, January 2020. Vol.8 , No.1 | 73 English because by mastering vocabulary, students are easier to understand English and will able to improve their language. Hiebert (2005:3) stated that vocabulary is the knowledge of meanings of words comes in at least two forms that are receptive and productive vocabulary we use when we write or speak. Meanwhile, the second one refers to the words which the students will recognize when they meet them, but which they will probably not be able to pronounce. Receptive vocabulary is the set of words for which an individual can assign meanings when listening or reading. These are words that are often less well known to students and less frequent in use. Individuals may be able to assign some sort of meaning to them, even though they may not know the full subtleties of the distinction. Typically, these are also words that individuals do not use spontaneously. However, when individuals encounter these words, they recognize them, even if imperfectly. Productive vocabulary is the set of words that an individual can use when writing or speaking. They are words that are well-known, familiar, and used frequently. In developing students’ vocabulary, the teacher should use a suitable technique or method. Furthermore, Whitaker (Setiawan, R., et.al 2017:32) proposes that teachers must think carefully about what approach, technique or strategy they will use in order to arrange the students in mastering vocabulary. In this research, the researchers offered a new strategy to solve students’ problem especially in vocabulary mastery. However, the teachers should bring them to engage in learning vocabulary so that they will be interested in it. The strategy was Think-Talk-Write (TTW) which was first introduced by Huinker and Laughlin (1996: 82). This strategy was sure to invite students to be active in learning, especially in learning vocabulary. Huda (2014: 218), also convinces TTW as a strategy that trains students to practice language used fluently. The Think-Talk-Write includes 3 phases consist of (1) Students learn the material (thinking), where they should think about a variety of words obtained from a text, and work in groups (2) Students discuss the results of learning material (talk), where one student from each group presents vocabulary. They have actively achieved (3) Students write those vocabularies from the talking phase (write). Widiyanto, et.al (2018:10) explain that The Think-Talk-Write (TTW) is a learning method that directs the students to learn by individual or group. This method consists of thinking, talking, and writing process that makes the students are able to fully involve in that process. The Think-Talk-Write method does by giving them a problem in a book or reading text. Problem stimulus will invite them to think individually about anything there on the reading text and write it on a small note. The students then bring out their thinking results in their groups to have a discussion and collaborate with each student in one group. Next, the students write discussion results and knowledge that they got on their own notes. Discussing Think-Talk-Write, many researchers have conducted it; for example, the research done by Setiawan, et.al (2017); has conducted experimental research, they found that Think-Talk-Write in teaching writing descriptive had a significant effect. Sofiyah (2017) was trying to examine the implementation of Think-Talk-Write strategy in improving students’ learning activity at learning PAI SMP Al-Islah Central Gunung Anyar Surabaya; her findings showed that Think-Talk-Write is able to present the content of the verse, reading by tajwid in the verse. The students’ learning activity is good because the students have fulfilled some of the liveness indicators learning, more enthusiastic and more excited. This current research tried to find how Think-Talk-Write (TTW) (TTW) has an effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. RESEARCH METHOD Research Design This is an experimental research that aims to determine the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. Experimental is characterized by much Qomariyah & Nafisah Examining Think-Talk-Write Strategy… JOLLT Journal of Languages and Language Teaching, January 2020. Vol.8 , No.1 | 74 greater control over the research environment and in this case, some variables are manipulated to observe the effect on other variables (Kothari, 2004: 5). The researchers would examine the effect of the TTW technique by providing two groups. They are the experimental group that was treated by using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) and the control group which was treated by using acrostic strategy. Population and Sample The population of this research was the students of the first grade of SMPN 5 Praya. The researchers took two classes which made the total population was 46 students. The aim of sampling was to draw the sample from the population, meanwhile to judge which group as an experimental group and control group. There were two kinds of instruments that were employed in this research, those are pre-test and post-test and to analyze the data the researchers used a t-test. RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION Research Findings The data collection and the treatments were collected and conducted from January 29 th – February 29 th , 2019 at SMPN 5 Praya. The design was selected into two groups: the experimental group which was treated by using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) (TTW) and the control group which was treated by using Acrostic Strategy. The second group is given the same material, the ability of class control and the class of experimental equivalent. With different methods on the students of the same level and the same teacher, but the results are different. Table 1.

Summary of t-test Analysis Table 10.T-test The testing hypothesis was to answer the question of alternative hypothesis whether it was accepted or rejected. To found out the result of the t-test the researchers computed the data of the experimental group and control group. The sample data was 23 students for the experimental group and 23 students for the control group; the total samples were 46 students, so the degree of the freedom that was used 46-2=44. Based on the t-test computation the researchers found that the t-test was higher than t-table (8.693>1.680) with degree freedom 44, it could be concluded the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. And Think-Talk- Write is effective toward students’ vocabulary mastery at first-grade students of SMP 5 Praya. Discussion This research aimed at finding out the effectiveness of Think-Talk-Write (TTW) towards students’ vocabulary mastery. Based on the result of teaching vocabulary using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) is effective because the result of the pre-test and the post-test score of both experimental and control groups was different. The pre-test and post-test scores in the experimental group or class were higher than the score of pre-test and post-test in the control group. This indicated that there was an improvement in the students’ vocabulary mastery. It was proven that students are involved in thinking activities, talking performance, and writing exercises. It was in keeping with Haerazi and Irawan (2019) who informed that giving learning activities to think critically helps students to recognize genres of texts, contents, and linguistic features including vocabulary acquisition. The think-talk-write strategy gave a good contribution to the teachers in teaching their students in the teaching of vocabulary. This strategy helped students to solve their problems in learning vocabulary. It was in line with Haerazi and Irawan (2020) who state extending activities provided by teachers facilitate students to think and communicate the target language. In this study, TTW also gives chances for students to compete in memorizing the vocabularies after the treatment in the teaching and learning process. This is in line with the previous research who states that the Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy is facilitating the exercise of the language both oral and written fluently (Zulkarnaini, 2011:82). It was also in line with Huda (2014: 218) who convinces that Think-Talk-Write (TTW) as a strategy that trains students to practice language-use fluently. Qomariyah & Nafisah Examining Think-Talk-Write Strategy… JOLLT Journal of Languages and Language Teaching, January 2020. Vol.8 , No.1 | 80 In the implementation of this strategy, there are three phases that should be conducted. The first is the Think phase. At this phase, students should think about a variety of words (word classes) obtained from a text, where they have to work in small groups. The students read the text and make notes to what they have read. This activity is intended for students to distinguish or bring together the ideas contained in the reading. These findings were reinforced by Haerazi, Vikasari, and Prayati (2019) who found that small groups are very effective to involve students in discussing learning topics to practice communication and to interact among students-students and students-teachers. The next phase is to Talk. The students did the talking phase by having discussions and interaction with friends in a group about the content of the notes they made. In this activity, the students discuss the result of a collection of ideas that they made individually of what they know about the variety of words. The students would not be shy because they were interacting with their friends, not their teacher. The aim of this phase is not only to make them discuss but also to make them take and give what they had already so that if there were any students with a lack of information, they automatically gained the information from the student who has it. Huinker and Laughlin (in Setiawan, et.al, 2017: 38) also state that this phase aims to make the students talk. After the two phases were done, the last phase is Write. At this phase, the students should write down the vocabularies that they had from the previous phase by collecting and discussing the result of any of their ideas. The students write down their ideas (the variety of words) into the classification of the word classes. And then, each group should present their answers. This phase will help students to make a relationship between their own ideas and other friends’. This phase would also help the teacher to monitor the students’ mistakes and the students’ concept of the same idea. In monitoring the implementation of the Think-Talk-Write strategy, the teacher’s role was important. Based on Silver and Smith (in Suminar and Putri, 2015: 301) teacher’s role in Think-Talk-Write strategy are: (1) Asking question and give assignment which is engaged and challenge the students to think, (2) Listen carefully students’ idea, (3) Ask the students to express their ideas, (4) As a monitor and give score to the students participation in discussion. Besides having advantages in teaching vocabulary. Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy has weaknesses during the process of teaching and learning. For example, the students would just write based on the question that was given by the teacher in the Think phase so that their ability to memorize the words would contain limited information related to the question. As in line with Setiawan, et.al, (2017: 38) states in their research that the students will only write the information based on the question. Meanwhile, they can have more vocabulary. Furthermore, the other problem that the students faced during the teaching and learning process was their spelling. This problem affected students in recognizing the words because misspelling can cause misunderstanding the words. The researchers found these problems both in the experimental and control group, but mostly happened in the control group. As the result, since the t-test (8.693) is higher than the t-table (1.680) with degree freedom 44, it means that the Null hypothesis (Ho) which states that “There is no significant effect of using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy on students’ vocabulary mastery” is rejected. And alternate hypothesis which states that “There is a significant effect of using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy on students’ vocabulary mastery” is failed to be rejected. CONCLUSION Based on the data analysis and the discussion, the researchers finally come to the conclusion that Think-Talk-Write has a significant effect on student vocabulary mastery. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. The Think-Talk-Write strategy gave a positive effect in vocabulary mastery to the first-grade students of SMPN 5 Praya in the academic year 2018/2019.
