Abstract


Abstract: Vocabulary is the most important part of language learning, as it is impossible to express the intended meaning without correct vocabulary. Teaching and learning vocabulary include not just how to teach a word's meaning but also how to teach its spelling, pronunciation, collocations, and relevance. Therefore, vocabulary teaching strategies are important to teach vocabulary appropriately. In this case, the study intended to study vocabulary teaching strategies used by English teachers at MTS Sunan Drajat Banjaranyar, Lamongan. This research was implemented using a descriptive qualitative research design on five 7th grade students and one teacher at MTS Sunan Drajat Banjaranyar, Lamongan. The data for this research was collected from the results of the direct interviews with participants. The data are analyzed using qualitative analysis based on Creswell (2006), which consists of steps such as organization, which includes data reduction, coding, and grouping, and description, which includes interpretation and drawing conclusions. The study concluded that the teaching strategies implemented in 7th grade at MTS Sunan Drajat Banjaranyar, Lamongan, utilize memorization, cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies, as well as extensive vocabulary learning and independent learning. Moreover, most vocabulary teaching done by the teacher promotes students’ independent learning by directing students to find difficult words at home without direct supervision from the teacher.
