THE METHOD OF THE RESEARCH
3.1 Method of the Research
The research was conducted by using the experimental method to know the influence of Word Pyramid Game toward students’ vocabulary mastery. The writer used a class in the research.

3.2 The Variable of the Research
In this research there are two variables, as follows:
- The independent variable is Word Pyramid Game
- The dependent variable is students’ vocabulary mastery
3.3 The Operational Definition of Variable
The operational definition of a variable is used to describe the characteristics of the variable that was investigated by the researcher:
- Word Pyramid Game is the teaching technique that is designed to improve students’ vocabulary mastery.
- Students’ vocabulary mastery is students’ ability to know the meaning of English words and being able to use them appropriately. It is indicated by the score of the test given.
