CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A.  Background of the Study

“Language is a system of communication in speech and writing used by people of a particular country”.¹  According to an American linguist, John B. Carrol, in his book entitled ‘the study of language’ (1953), Language is an arbitrary system of speech sounds or sequences of speech sounds which is used or can be used in interpersonal communication by an aggregation of human beings, and which rather exhaustively catalogs things, process, and events the human environment.² Ali Ridho states that language is something that is composed from several sentences are composed word of hijaiyah.³  In this case, language is a mean of communication and it plays a very important role in social relationship among human beings. People in a society use language, which is mutually understood to communicate with others. Through language we can express our idea to others in form  of  written  and  spoken.

Thus,  the  presence  of  language  has  overcome people’s problems to express and share their feeling, idea and knowledge to others. English is one of the international languages that most used in many countries in the world, including Indonesia. As an international language, English is very important because people around the world communicate to others using English. In Indonesia, English considered the first foreign language to be learned, the Indonesian government has chosen English as a first foreign language to be taught in schools. In formal education, English is taught from Elementary School until Universities. As a subject of learning process, English considered as one of subject that less comfortable by students. So that using teaching media is very important to help the students be more interest.

Media is very important in teaching and learning process. There are three kinds of media. They are audio, visual, and audio visual media. By using audio visual, media that use sense of vision and hearing, students can get more than students learn by using media that only use one sense either vision or hearing.⁴ In this case, the writer will take audio visual media for running the research. It is English movies media.

Based on the writer observation, the teenager especially students of Senior High School prefer watch to English movies than Indonesian movies. Actually English movies have been translated in Indonesian, but the conversation is still spoken in English.

Watching English movies can be an alternative media of teenager students to improve and enrich their mastery of English vocabulary on their free time. Vocabulary is very important in learning language, because vocabulary is one of the key elements in learning language. So, mastering vocabulary will give influence to someone who learns language.

In learning English, Students should be able to master the four language skills of English. They are speaking, reading, writing, and listening. Learning English also should cover some language components. They are structure, vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation.

As a part of language components, vocabulary has an important role in learning  English.  Without  mastering  vocabulary,  it  is  impossible  to  master English well. The students who get more vocabulary, they can improve their English easily. Baca Juga: Chain Drawing Strategy

Teaching English at Senior High School is not easy task. Teachers usually still use traditional ways in teaching vocabulary. When students find new difficult words they have to open a dictionary to get the meaning. It may take a long time for the students to find the meaning of the words. It can make the students get bored and tired. Therefore, the teachers of Senior High School should teach the vocabulary through enjoyable activities. By using media students hoped fell more interested and pay more attention to the teacher.

Based on the reasons above, the researcher wants to conduct a correlation between watching English movies and vocabulary entitled: Correlation between Frequency of Watching English Movies and Vocabulary Mastery of The Second Grade Students of MAN 1 Semarang in the Academic Year of 2011/2012.
