2021/2022 academic year. The researcher only took one class as a sample. The
sample consisted of 20 students from class VIII-A and was selected by means of
whispering games. The experimental group was taught by using a whisper game
as a medium. The data collection instrument is a written test. The experimental
group was given pre-test and post-test. After the data was collected, the data was
analyzed using the t-test formula. The results of the analysis show that t-observe

The last hypothesis shows that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that
there is a significant effect of the use of whispering game media on students
achievement in improving English vocabulary.
