The aim of this research was to see whether the use of a wordlist can improve studentsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ vocabulary memorization or not. This research was conducted at the eleventh grade of SMA NEGERI 2 Tondano, class XI was chosen as the subject of the study and this class consists of twelve (12) students. This research used a pre-experimental design with one group pre-test and post-test. The instrument for data collection is an objective test. This research showed that the mean score of the pre-test is 68% for basic vocabulary numbering 30 and 20% for vocabulary in the book and the post-test is 85%.
