Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the Learning Matching by Description (LMD) Technique in enhancing vocabulary. In this investigation, a quasi-experimental approach was employed. The research population consisted of seventh graders at Dagupan City National High School during the 2022- 2023 academic year. There were two sections with a total of 68 students. The experimental group comprised 34 students from Section 16 of Grade 7, while the control group comprised 34 from Section 15 of Grade 7. Using the Learning Matching by Description (LMD) Game Technique, the student\'s progress during the teaching and learning process was extremely beneficial. From the meetings, the student\'s achievement increased. It was evident from the post-test mean scores between the Control Group and the Experimental Group. The post-test outcomes for the experimental and control groups were 11.19 and 18.88, respectively. T-test was also used to determine whether the post-test result improvement was statistically significant. The t-test analysis revealed that the value of the experimental class was statistically significant. From the results, the Learning Matching by Description (LMD) technique significantly enhances students\' vocabulary. According to the study\'s findings, the teacher-researcher recommends that image bingo be used more frequently in the classroom to increase student vocabulary.\r\n-L.M. Duque
