- This research is entitled "The Application of Describing Objects to Improve Students’ Vocabulary Development". It was aimed at finding out to what extend the use of describing objects improves students’ vocabulary development and to investigate students’ obstacles through this technique. To achieve the goal of this study, experimental research was used as a method in this study and research design used was pre-experimental research. This study was conducted at MTsN 1 Bireuen carried out in one class. The sample was taken by using purpose sampling. The sample of this research was class VIII-1 and the number of students was 27 students. The experimental teaching was conducted through a few classroom meetings in one group or class. To collect the data, the researcher conducted tests (pre-test and post-test), experimental teaching, distributed questionnaire, and focus group discussion as instruments used in this research. To analyze the result of the tests, the researcher used statistical formula to calculate average of the tests. The result of this study indicated that describing objects technique improved students’ vocabulary development. It was proven by the result of the tests that showed an increase in mean scores achieved by students in pre-test (8.95) compared to their mean scores of post-test (14,32). These scores proved that the significant difference before and after treatment. In addition, based on the result found toward questionnaire and focus group discussion, the obstacles of using describing objects in developing vocabulary include; limited time to produce the text and to memorize them before performing in front of class. To sum up, based on the data found in this study, describing objects technique was considered effective to improve students’ vocabulary development.
