【 摘 要 】

As in most of secondary schools in Indonesia tend to focus on words list in vocabulary lesson which is easily forgotten by learners, providing retrieval opportunity to strengthen their memory about words can be effective since the retrieval is one of the psychological processes to make the students remember the words. Accordingly, providing retrieval opportunity during vocabulary learning is encouraged in this essay. After reviewing some literature related to retrieval process, repetition is one effective way to promote retrieval process. Since repeated encounters of the words facilitate the students to access the words-related information in their mind, repetition activity will be the effective solution for this context. The spaced repetition as proposed by Baddley (1990) can be appropriate for this context since learners will not be bored about the repetition. This idea is then developed by providing students with Southeast Sulawesi folklore as the reading material in order to obtain target words. It is believed that this kind of reading material can enhance the students' active engagement in the classroom as well.
