In calculating the hypothesis verification by using sample t-test formula, the result of t_count compared with t_list, t table that used with degree of freedom (df=db=dk) = n1+n2-2. If t_count more bigger than t_list (t_count > t_list ), so H_0 is rejected and 〖 H〗_a Is accepted. Based on analysis of this research, the researcher found that tcount is bigger than tlist (8, 56 > 2, 00) with the level significance α = 0, 05 and DF = (n1 + n2 - 2). It means that the hypothesis is acceptable. In other word, word list card can increase the students' English vocabulary. Key words:Word List Card, English Vocabulary.
