CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. The Background of The Study
Language has become the way in communication. Since the past language connected between human. Start with body language, sounds, pictures or ilustrates until the language like we use right now. Without language, human
can’t do the interaction well.
Lyons in Jindal, (2002:5) says that language is principal system of conversational spoken or written symbols by means of which human beings, as members of a social group and participants in its culture, communicate. Language is a mediator used by people to transfer the information or the idea.
Language has become the key in every aspects of life such as religion, culture, social, law and economy. Now a days, every country and region has their own language. But to avoid the misunderstanding needs the one language. So, each country has one mother language like Indonesia has Indonesian language. Technology development also make possible for every people from different country to communicate and interact. Until now, English has become the international language. Because, learn English is not really difficult and many countries use English as their mother language.

eventhough children in Indonesia has learnt it since elemantry school. Almost in every application job demand the applicants to use English passive or active. So, each citizen must learn English.
ASEAN Eonomic Society (MEA) demands every citizen improve their skill in English. It means that the competitor in looking for jobs not only come
from Indonesia but from the other country in ASEAN. If we don’t have the
skills of course we will lose. Language, of course be the first skill that we
education. It proves the low quality of Indonesia’s education. Implementation
of the curriculum can be seen directly through the process of teaching and learning in schools in Indonesia. Level of education in Indonesia starting from elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, has to be carried out in accordance with the applicable curriculum so as to achieve the learning objectives perfectly.

with the needs of learners so that learners are able to achieve the learning objectives because they are truly motivated to study only if teaching material constantly addresses their needs (Blagojevic, 2013), especially textbook as a source of learning relates directly to the level of skills and knowledge of learners.
Textbooks or course books either required or supplementary provide content and teaching-learning activities, which shape much of what happens in the classroom (Celce-Murcia in Widodo, 2007). Textbooks produced by publishers are prepared in accordance with a set.
Language consists of fourth skills, they are writing, reading, listening and speaking. A textbook should have these fourth skills. Inside the textbook have the text with some genre, conversation script and exercise that used in teaching learning process. In using textbook, teacher should understand it. And the language in English textbook should used the right.
More vocabularies that we have make our English better. So many things that we should learn in vocabularies start from the meaning, structure, sound, part of words and collocation. In connecting the word and has meaning, word
can’t stand alone. We have to collocate the word with other word. Each

During the PPL SMA N 1 Sei Rampah, the writer found many students find the difficulties in understanding the textbook especially in understanding
the text. Because, many of them doesn’t understand the meaning of words in a
text. Almost all of them doesn’t understand about the collocation. This
happened because the teacher also has the linguistic comprehension. So, it
makes the student doesn’t comprehend the content of the textbook.
Less linguistic comprehension also makes teacher difficult in understanding a textbook. In textbook we will find so many collocations which sometimes do not appropriate or difficult to know the meaning because
we do not use it in daily language. If the teacher doesn’t have the linguistic
comprehension will find the difficulties in understanding the words and the whole text also. Theses impacts ind teaching learning process. Students will get the wrong learning process.
For that reason, the writer choose this title about “A Discourse Analysis of
Collocation in English Textbook for Grade X in the Senior High School” to
analyze the collocation inside the whole textbook. Because the understanding and using the collocation will impact in understanding the whole text in the textbook.
