Problem Formulation
The objective of the Study
The benefit of the Study The benefits of the study are
Prior Research
- The Definition of Vocabulary Mastery
- The Important of Vocabulary Mastery
- Kinds of Vocabulary
- Vocabulary Assessment
While the other differences between this research and the other previous research are located in the research sample. Example words : carefully, at home, for half an hour, sensibly, etc. the example of adverb in a sentence.
Invented Spelling Technique
- The Definition of Invented Spelling Technique
- The Principles of Invented Spelling Technique
- The Benefits of Invented spelling Technique
- The Procedures of Using Invented Spelling technique in Teaching Vocabulary
Ask the students to name the words from the text and say the words out loud together. For example, the teacher asked the students to find the words (adjective, noun) from the text.
Action Hypothesis
Go to the next word and repeat the process by saying the word, asking students to say it together and then asking them to write it on their books.26 This means that after the teacher has reviewed the spelling words of the students, the teacher asked the students to replay. The operational variable is the definition based on the characteristic of the things to be defined.
The setting of the Research
The subject of the Study
Classroom Action Research
In this step, the researcher will decide to act as a teacher who has determined a technique in the teaching and learning process in the classroom. Observation is activity when the researcher observes the effect of the action in this context. By reflection, the researcher analyzed and discussed the result during the teaching learning, such as the weakness and strength the researcher and the students did in the teaching-learning process.
The researcher decided that the next cycle would focus on the weakness in the assessment cycle. If there were some students who were not successful from the first cycle, the researcher should lead the second cycle. In the second cycle, if all .. students were successful, the cycle can only be stopped until the second cycle.
Data Collection Techniques
In this step, the researcher observed the process of teaching and learning by using an observation format to collect data in action plan II. It is held to know about how far the students' vocabulary mastered before the researcher gave the treatments. It is held to know how the students' vocabulary mastery is after the researcher has given the treatments.
In this case, the researcher needs documentation to obtain complete data on the history of the establishment of SMP N 7 Metro, the organizational structure of SPM N 7 Metro, the names of the teachers in each subject, data on the school building. sketch to recognize the location of each classroom, office, library, cafeteria, mosque, laboratory, parking lot, and courtyard. In this research, the researcher used field notes to record student activity during the learning process. The researcher conducted the field note to get the complete data from the eighth grade students of SMP N 7 Metro.
Data Analysis Technique
The result is matched by the minimum pass mark at this school of at least 75. If any students were unsuccessful from Cycle 1, the investigator conducted Cycle II. The minimum cycle in CAR is two cycles if the cycle II students were successful, the cycle can be stopped until cycle II only.
The Indicator of Success
Result of the Research
The Description of Research Data
The purpose of this research to improve students' English vocabulary mastery and their learning activities at SMP N 7 METRO. This means that action in cycle one was carried out around 3 meetings, and action in cycle two was also carried out in 3 meetings. The researcher told the students that the researcher would do the research in their class to know their vocabulary mastery before doing the action of the classroom action research.
BRH 80 COMPLETE
Based on the above data, it can be concluded that 23 students (79%) failed and 6 students (21%) passed. The passed students were those who obtained the minimum grade at SMP N 7 Metro of at least 75. Based on the pre-test result, the researcher examined that the average grade of the students is 62, so the result was not satisfied.
Based on the result of the pre-test score, the researcher has identified and found the problems after receiving the pre-test score of the students.
Acting
Then the researcher asked the students to find a noun and an adjective in the text. The researcher gave the students 10 minutes to find a noun and an adjective in the text. Then the researcher asked the students one by one to write their vocabulary consisting of the noun and adjective they found on the board.
Then the researcher asked about the meaning of the words written by the students and asked the students to write the vocabulary in their books. The investigator began the lesson with prayers, greetings, checking the attendance list, and asking about the students' condition. The researcher then asked the students to carry out the extension activities in the form of descriptive text to find noun and adjective in the text.
Post-test I
Observing
During the treatment, the learning activities of the students during the learning process were also observed by the observer. Students who were active in the discussion would receive the mark by marking it on the observation sheet for each cycle. Source: The result of the learning activity of students in VIIB of SMP N 7 Metro on October 15, 2019.
The graphic showed that the students' learning activity did not reach the percentage that is 75%.

Improving Explanation
Planning
The researcher started the lesson by greeting, praying, checking the attendance list and asking about the condition of the students. Then, the researcher asked the students to find a noun and an adjective in the text given. Then the researcher called the students one by one to write the vocabulary found on the white board.
The researcher asked the students to spell the word and asked the meaning of the word spelled. After that, the researcher asked the students to write the vocabulary on the students' books. The researcher started the lesson by praying, greeting, checking the attendance list and asking the students'.
Based on the above result, it can be concluded that 24 students (83%) were successful and other 5 students (17%) were not successful. In the learning process, four indicators were also used to recognize the learning activities of the students as in the learning process before. Based on the result of the observation sheet in cycle II, the researcher showed that the learning process in cycle II was successful.
Post-test II
Learning Activities
Based on the above result, the researcher indicated that the learning process in Cycle II was a success because the students did. From the learning outcome in Cycle II, the researcher analyzed that overall vocabulary mastery was improved by using Invented Spelling Technique. At the end of this cycle, the researcher and the staff member have analyzed and calculated all processes, such as the student's second grade after test II and the observation of the student's learning activities.
Comparison between students after the first grade test and after the second grade test. classes can be compared in the following table.

In this research, to know the students' vocabulary mastery after implementing the treatment, the researcher conducted posttest I. The researcher conducted posttest II to measure the students' mastery after implementing the treatment. Comparison of grade in pre-test, post-test I in cycle I and post-test II in cycle II.
The comparison degree of vocabulary mastery of pre-test, post-test I in cycle I and post-test II in cycle II. The comparison of vocabulary mastery of pre-test, post-test I in cycle I and post-test II in cycle II. The comparison score of students' vocabulary mastery in pre-test, post-test I in cycle I and post-test II in cycle II.
DISCUSSION
Subsequently, on the basis of the explanation of cycle I and cycle II, it could be concluded that the use of Invented Spelling Technique improves the mastery of the students' vocabulary. From graph 11, we could see that there was an improvement in the average grade and total of the students who passed the test from pre-test, post-test I to post-test II. In addition, in the post-test I 16 students or (55%) passed the test, the indicator students get a mark >75 with an average of 74.
In the post-test II there were 23 students or (79%) passed the test the indicator students get a grade >75 with an average of 81.
