This study belongs to the Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the model offered by Kemmis and McTaggart (in Burn, 2010: 90) and were conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages namely: Planning, Action, Observation, and Reflection. The writer chooses the seventh grade students of SMP Swasta Diakui Adhiyaksa 2 Kupang which consist of 20 students. The instruments used in this study were observation sheet, pre test and post test.The pre test was given before they had been taught without hangman game and post test was given after they had been taught using hangmangame .

In teaching vocabulary without technique or games especially hangman game students had low motivation in classroom interaction but in playing hangman game students had higher motivation in learning English especially about vocabulary. Based on the result of the study, the writer would like to propose some suggestions as follows: (1) The English teacher of the researched school should pay attention to students’ needs and characteristics by giving them some technique to make them easier to learn English. (2) The English teacher should be more serious in helping the students to develop their skill in English especially about vocabulary. (3) Hangman game technique can be an alternative to overcome student’s boredom in learning English. (4) This strategy or technique is suggested to used by English teacher or other researcher who want to conduct similar research or study, (5)Students are hoped to study more and give a lot of responses in learning process, because hangman game is very useful for both active and especially passive students to improve their abilities of communication in group.
