This research is a Pre-experimental design. Its population involves 129 eleventh-grade students of SMAN 1 Serangpanjang, Subang in the academic year 2019/2020. The sample includes 31 students of Class XI IPS 3 (As an experimental group). Its instruments consist of two equal vocabulary tests, one for pretest and the other for posttest. Students' vocabulary scores have proceeded to the statical analysis. The analysis results prove that the use of Translation activities improve students’ vocabulary mastery. The hypothesis test, using the independent t-test in SPSS, shows that t-count is 24.08, while t-table for α = 5% is 2.042 ( t-count 24.08 > t-table 2.042). It means that the research hypothesis (H0) is rejected and (Ha) is accepted. To further the hypothesis test, the calculation of the N-Gain score shows that the experimental group is classified 'Medium'. It concludes that there is a significant difference in students' scores between pretest and posttest scores. In conclusion, teaching vocabulary with translation activities improves students’ vocabulary mastery. Therefore, Translation activities become a promising technique in the other context of EFL teaching and learning.
