Memorizing Vocabulary in Daily Activity to Improve Reading Skill

This qualitative research was conducted to evaluate the impact of students' reading skills on memorizing vocabulary during daily activities. Purposive sampling was utilized to choose six students from SMAN 1 Kuta Baro with the highest reading scores in each class for the research sample. To acquire information from participants, a semi-structured interviewed of seventeen questions was utilized. The findings indicated that students engage in a variety of activities to acquire new vocabulary that could be memorized to increase their ability to read or comprehend the reading. This includes watching westerns, listening to music, playing online games, and utilizing social media. In addition, three out of 6 students believed that the language they gained from daily activities would help them comprehend the text, and three out of six students believed that terminology from the same subject would help them comprehend the text. Students' reading skills were influenced by the vocabulary they acquired from their daily activities since they might encounter the same word multiple times in a reading, which improved their initial comprehension when reading texts in the same context.
