skill,there are listening,speaking,reading and
writing.the four basic
skills are supposed to
be supported by other language sub
skill.they are pronunciation,vocabulary,and grammar. In teaching English
vocabulary as an element or language is considered as the most important factor
in increasing the mastered if the students are still lacking of vocabulary.
Vocabulary is a part of language learning that need continuing growth and development
by both native and non native speakers long after grammar and pronunciation
elementary school until senior high Scholl. In language teaching preparation
program in our country, more and attention being given to improve some
technique for teaching vocabulary.
Ferreira (2007: 11)
stated that vocabulary as a powerful carrier of meaning and the knowledge of
words and their meanings. This means that without establishing a strong
vocabulary base first, comprehension and use of a language will not be achieved.
In addition, the student should be able to recognize words, and know their
meanings as well. Thus, when a student is effectively able to recognize and use
a word in different contexts, speak, write, pronounce the word well, she/he has
the knowledge and meaning of that word.
Learning vocabulary as
a foreign language seems easy but some students feel fear. The teacher of
English should find out solution by crating efficient and effective technique
of teaching in teaching English vocabulary, besides that, the teachers should
establish condition which makes teaching vocabulary possible. The learning will
occur within reasonable period of time.

teacher at the at
the seven grade students of SMP. The English teacher said that the students achievement in vocabulary still
lack where the students still got value average under standard vocabulary in
curriculum 6,5. Because the students were lazy to memorize unfamiliar word,
they difficulties in understanding the word meaning, the student were bored and
the students do not have high motivation in learn.
Realizing to the
vocabulary problem above one of better way and easier to teach English,
especially vocabulary to students is by using
games, games and fun activities have always been one of everybody’s
favorite things
to doing a
class, both for teachers and students, because

methods of English teaching
for teachers.With game, students
will not
feel bored in
learning English.But the students
will become critical and active in learning English and also the use of game is
stimulate the students such as Bingo Game.
According to Lopez (2009: 24) Bingo Game is a game the whole class or
small groups can play. The teacher can serve as the caller, or students can take turns
