Abstract

makes the government agree to put an English subject at every grade of schools, from elementary school until university. Although the students get that subject from early they still cannot master it well. They are not good in passing through many parts of English, just like the speaking, writing, reading, listening skill, or even the vocabulary. As a matter of the fact above, it makes the teachers have an additional duty to give a better method in teaching them in order that they can accept the lesson well and get a better result at the end. That is why the researcher is interested in conducting the outdoor activities as a method to be implemented in Civil Engineering Department of ITN Malang in the first semester especially for those who take the English subject. This present study is intended to see how the outdoor activities can increase students’ vocabulary in Civil Engineering of ITN Malang, what techniques are used by the researcher in outdoor activities method, and what problems are faced by the researcher in using outdoor activities method. Some vocabularies are taught by the researcher. He gives many kind of vocabulary, just like: noun (electric drill, concrete, etc), adjective (strong, nice), and also verb (connect, jump). During the two cycles conducted, the students get improvement. At the first cycle, the students get a mean as 77.75. Meanwhile at the second cycle, they get the mean as 88.67. From this result, it is shown that the method is successful. Some suggestions are extended for the other researchers. The other researchers are suggested to apply this method to other parts of English, just like at speaking subject or take the different population to be taken for the next research.
