The research methodology used was true experimental design. The sample of the research were two classes consist of 80 students.

The researcher did six meetings for each class and it consisted of one meeting for tryout test, one meeting for pretest, three meetings for treatments and one meeting for posttest. In the experimental class the researcher applied Word Square Game as treatment and control class the researcher applied Translation technique. In collecting the data, the researcher used test. Before conducting the treatments, the students did pretest. After conducting the treatments, the students did posttest. After giving posttest, the researcher analyzed the data using Independent Sample T-test in SPSS 17.00 because the data were in normal distribution and the data have same variance or homogenous. From the result of hypothetical test, it was found that the result of Sig. (2 tailed) of ttest for equality of means assumed was 0.000 and α = 0.05. It means that Sig. (pvalue) < α = 0.05. So, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Based on the computation, it can be concluded that there was a significant influence of using Word Square Game towards students‟ vocabulary mastery in the first semester at the eighth grade of MTs Al- Hikmah Bandar Lampung in the academic year of 2018/2019.
