Peneliti menggunakan desain kuasi eksperimen dengan menggunakan desain kontrol pretest dan posttest. Populasi penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VII MTsS PPM Diniyyah Pasia. Sampel penelitian ini adalah kelas VII.2 yang diperlakukan sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas VII.4 sebagai kelas kontrol.  Temuan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa t-hitung (-7,951) lebih kecil dari t-tabel (-1,667). Sehingga hipotesis alternatif (Ha) diterima yang berarti terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan dari penggunaan metode silent way terhadap kemampuan kosakata siswa. Kemudian, perhitungan post-test kedua kelas yaitu kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol diperoleh t hitung (-4,587) lebih kecil dari t tabel (-1,667). Sehingga, hipotesis alternatif (Ha) diterima yang berarti terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara menggunakan metode silent way dan menggunakan metode konvensional.
