Abstract

Vocabularies are the most important component in language; therefore vocabulary learning is necessary because listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills require vocabularies as their foundation. However, in learning vocabularies we often experience these following hurdles and problems; students are less interested with mandarin, little opportunity to speak mandarin, as well as the limited learning materials. Those problems will furthermore affect the students"™ learning skills. To improve students"™ learning skill and to make it easier for students to learn mandarin, the author gave a pre-test for students of Junior High School 10 class IXB and IXC, followed by teaching them using situational approach, and gave them post "“test afterwards. After comparing pre-test and post-test results, we found that situational approach was very efficient in improving students"™ learning skill as well as     finding an efficient teaching method.
