Kosakata merupakan salah satu komponen bahasa dan hal pertama yang
diterapkan oleh ahli bahasa. Para siswa tidak bisa menguasai mendengarkan,
berbicara, membaca dan menulis, jika siswa kurang kosa kata. Mengajar kosakata
adalah bagian utama dalam proses pengajaran bahasa itu sendiri. Bahkan,
pengajaran kosakata masih sulit. Para siswa sering kesulitan untuk memahami
bacaan dalam bahasa Inggris. Kondisi ini terjadi di SMA 1 Jekulo Kudus. Untuk
mengatasi masalah tersebut, guru bahasa Inggris harus menerapkan strategi
pengajaran yang sesuai dalam mengajar. Oleh karena itu, guru harus
menggunakan strategi pengajaran yang sesuai untuk membuat siswa belajar secara
praktis. Sehingga mereka dapat meningkatkan kemampuan kosakata bahasa
inggris mereka. Penggunaan permainan Manual super Putar Teks pada proses
belajar mengajar diharapkan dapat merangsang minat siswa dalam kosakata
bahasa Inggris. Hal ini dapat membantu siswa untuk mengembangkan Kosakata
Bahasa Inggris Siswa.
Game adalah salah satu aktivitas yang menyenangkan, game dapat menjadi
arena competisi bagi murid-murid. Penggunaan Manual Super Twist Text adalah
salah satu jenis game. Cara bermainnya adalah menyusun huruf menjadi kata
berdasarkan jumlah kotak pada waktu yang ditentukan. Game tersebut dimainkan
dalam grup. Grup yang dapat menyusun kata paling banyak, akan menjadi
pemenang.
