CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This
chapter discusses the background of the research, statement
of the problem, purpose of study, significance
of the study, scope of the study, definition of term.
1.1 Background of the Research
The foreign
language that used in the several countries is used to communicate or
international related with everybody in the many country is English. English is a foreign language in Indonesia.
English becomes one of the important languages in the world lately. So, it is
necessary to study English by anyone especially those who deal with
international community. English language plays
an important role in
relation to economics, politics, culture and
international social relationship
development. Thus English is a foreign language is
important to learn. English is a foreign language
learned in Indonesia. With the aim that the Indonesian people can communicate
well and be able to develop their English skills in their environment. Now
every school has a class of English since elementary school, junior high
school, the highest education level is university. All was done so that
students can have good English skills.
Kahnijaun, (2006:2),
states that vocabulary is important for communicating effectively. It is also
vital for beginning readers to make sense of the words they see in print. Understanding a word will also help readers
understand the whole text. Based
on Richek (2005:414), “The influence of meaning vocabulary is one of the most
enduring findings of educational research”. So,
vocabulary is
very influential
in learning the
English language,
because more
or less the vocabulary we have will affect us
in English.
Vocabulary will affect
each other because
in English there
are four skills
that must be mastered, namely listening,
speaking, reading,
and writing. That
ability should all be
based on the vocabulary
skills that we have.
The more vocabulary that we have the
more good
we use
English to communicate.
Thus, learning vocabulary is important
for aspects of reading and comprehension.
According
to the writer’s experience from observation in SMP 5 Kudus, the writer gets
information about the low score of vocabulary students. From the score in
English subject of eighth grade students in SMP 5 Kudus in academic year 2013/2014
got from the English teacher, it indicated that class has the low score. More
than 50% the eighth grade students of SMP 5 Kudus got low score. Meanwhile the KKM
of English subject is 76. From the data, the writer concluded that the mean of
English subject was under the minimum criteria. The eighth grade students of
SMP 5 Kudus the students have difficulty in memorizing or remembering vocabulary that they have
learned. It is because they did not really pay attention to
their learning English vocabulary and they were not active in knowing the new
words. Meanwhile, we know that their vocabulary knowledge will impact much on
their English mastery.
Besides the students’
problems in the learning English vocabulary, the teachers also often get
difficulties to find appropriate technique when they have to teach vocabulary
to their students. The only way that the teachers usually use was
“translation”. Teacher just simply defines the meaning of the words. So,
whenever the students think about vocabulary, the students think about learning
a list of new words with meanings in their native language without any real
context practice. The most students
suggested English is a
difficult language
to learn. Thus
the writer uses the
strategy “Word Map” in
the teaching of
English vocabulary. As cited in (http://www.readingquest.org/strat/wordmap.html), “A vocabulary word map is a visual organizer that helps
students engage with and think about new terms or concepts in several ways. According
to Schwartz & Raphael (1985:3) Word Maps provide a structure for organizing
conceptual information over the course of defining a word. The new term goes in
the middle of the map. Students fill in the rest of the map with synonyms,
antonyms, part of speech and make a sentence or make a picture to help
illustrate the new concept”.
In another sites (http://www.thefreelibrary.com),
“The Word Map is a graphic device used to prompt students through the steps of
the strategy”. Thus, students were able to learn generative and non-generative
vocabulary strategies and could apply a generative strategy to analyze and
create meaning for unknown words,
It is also supported by the previous
research done by Ifana (2010) from Muria Kudus University entitled “The English Vocabulary Mastery of the
Seventh Year Students of Mts. Miftahul Huda Batealit Jepara in Academic Year
2009/2010 Taught by Using Word Mapping Strategy”. The result shows that Word Map
strategy can improve their vocabulary mastery of the students.
Based on the explanation above, the writer interested
in teaching by using word maps strategy to improve the vocabulary mastery of
the students. The
writer wants to analyze the English vocabulary mastery of eighth grade students
of SMP 5 Kudus in academic year 2013/2014. Because of that the reason, the
writer has the title of research “The Vocabulary Mastery
of The Eighth Grade Students of SMP 5 Kudus in Academic Year 2013/2014 Taught
by Using Word Map”
