In addition, semantic mapping is not applied in English textbook to teaching vocabulary at Senior high school. The goal of this research was to improve students’ vocabulary mastery. To achieve this goal, this research offered the use of semantic mapping in understanding word forms and word meanings so that students can improve their vocabulary mastery. Through analysis of the data, the researcher found that vocabulary can be taught using word formation and meaning of the word. There are several ways to explain word formation namely etymology, coinage, borrowing, compounding, blending, clipping, backformation, conversion, acronym, and derivation. In addition, semantic mapping used in understanding meaning of the word through antonym, synonym, meronym, taxonomy,monosemy, homonym, and polysemy. It is concluded that semantic mapping can be used in explain the word and its meaning.
