Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of implementing the Fun Learning Method through “English Fun Club” activities on the English vocabulary mastery of fifth-grade students at MI Ibrohimiyah, Sukatani District. The study employed a quantitative pre-experimental method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design involving 28 fifth-grade students selected through total sampling. Data were collected during approximately one month through a pre-test, six treatment sessions, and a post-test. Vocabulary mastery was measured using a 15-item test covering meaning and spelling. Data were analyzed using the Paired Samples T-Test with SPSS. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 62.14 to 77.68, with a significant difference (p < .001). The findings imply that Fun Learning through English Fun Club activities can support students’ vocabulary development.
