and operational definition.
1.1
Background of the Research
In recent years,
improvements in technology have enhanced students’ opportunities to build a new
way of learning English. One of the ways used by students in learning English
nowadays is by watching English movie.
Movie is a
series of still or moving images. It is produced by recording photographic
images with cameras or by creating images using animation techniques or visual
effects. According to Bayu and Gora (2007:1) film is a series of story that
needs images and sounds as the media with the filmic language and it needs a
long time to convey it. Thus, film or movie is made of visual or images
sequences as a symbolic language which has meaning inside of each image
presented. Film also involves world, characters, and meaning.
By the
mid-1990s, according to film critic David Robinson in an Encyclopedia
Britannica review (in Riana, 2012:5), the USA controlled about 85 percent of
the world film market, with Hollywood films dominating the box offices in most
countries. As a result, English language suddenly came to dominate the movie in
the world. Hence, students are offered a unique chance to listen to and see the
use of the original English dialogue through English movie
since movies show that the language
is real and they surely reflect the changes in the language use itself.
According to
Nuttall (in Riana, 2012:24) “Authentic materials can be motivating because they
are proof that the language is used for real-life purpose by real people”. As
both entertainment media and authentic material for supporting students’
English learning, movies seem highly entertaining, attractive and motivating
for students. When watching movies begins to be done by the students outside
the class or in their free time, it must be due to their own willingness for
the sake of looking for pleasures, entertainment, knowledge, and so forth.
Therefore, the activity is considered to be necessary that it is mostly
repeated regularly and likely internalized by the students to be their
activity. When students choose watching movies as their regular activity,
movies are influential aspects in order to support their English language
learning including vocabulary as one of language components.
As a part of
language components, vocabulary has an important role in learning English.
Without sufficient vocabulary, students will be difficult to understand the
meaning of the words in English and cannot communicate also express the ideas
easily. Moreover, without mastering vocabulary, it is impossible to master English
well. The students who have more vocabulary can improve their English more easily.
Therefore vocabulary is compulsory to be mastered by students who want to
master a language, especially students in learning English. Without mastering
the vocabulary, students will find many difficulties in learning English.
Richards (2001:4) says that definition of vocabulary is one of the most obvious
components of language. Meanwhile, Setiadi (2008) explains that vocabulary is
words that have its certain meaning and can be used by person in a language.
Furthermore,
activity of watching English movies is believed to be an alternative media of
the students to improve and enrich their mastery of English vocabulary.
According to Qiang and Wolff (in Riana 2012:8), believe that movies are able to
enrich students’ English vocabulary and help students to pick up idiomatic use
of words and phrase. English movie also help the students to improve their
vocabulary knowledge by making sense of words and expressions through context
which is provided in the form of film and situation.
Beside the
reason above, to deal with this research, in SMA 1 Bae Kudus, there are some
reasons of this decision. Based on interview with the eleventh grade students
of SMA 1 Bae Kudus it was found that the students prefer watched English movies
than Indonesian movies. They have high enthusiasm in watching English movie
because as both entertainment media, English movies can for supporting them to
learning English. Watching English movie can improve they vocabulary mastery,
because insensibly when they watching English movie, they are get, hear and
read the words from that movie. It mean in doing that activity they study about
vocabulary.
Based on the reasons above, the
writer intends to investigate the correlation between watching English movies
and vocabulary entitled: Correlation Between Students’ Frequency in Watching
English Movie and Students’ Vocabulary Mastery of The Eleventh Grade Students
of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the Academic Year of 2013/2014.
