CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents background of study, statement of problem, purpose of

the study, significance of the study, scope and limitation, and the definition of key

term. Each section is presented as follows.

1.1 Background of Study

English is one of the most widely-used languages. It is an important tool to

communicate for people in global community. That is why people have to learn

English. According to Rahayudi (2005: 1), in every country, people learn about

English in economic, politic, and education. In the field of economic we find that

English is used in trade; in politic English is used to communicate the idea or the

opinion of the people, and in education we know that many literatures are written in

English. Besides, English is used by people to communicate with people around the

world, to find a job easily, and to get a new friend from other country. It means, it is

very important for everyone to know about English both of passively or actively.

In Indonesia, English is the first foreign language taught to the students from

beginning level up to university level. It is one of the educational programs that must

be increased and developed at schools in Indonesia. As we know at the 21st century,

Indonesia faces globalization era. One of the important elements is to create the

intellectual and quality students such as mastering English. The main objective of the

(14)

Indonesia number 22 tahun 2006 is to develop the students’ ability in such a way that

they will be able to understand it.

According to Cahyono (2010: ix), in order to be successful in using English as

a means of communication, English language learners have to be capable of all of the

language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. (Hamer, 1991, in Cahyono,

2010: ix) mentions, language skills are divided into receptive and productive skills

because a listener and reader as well as a speaker and a writer share the same

communicative purposes, respectively. Based on how language is conveyed, language

skills can be categorized into those related to speech (listening and speaking) and

written word (reading and writing).

From those skills, speaking is the most important skill to be mastered. The

mastery of speaking skills in English is a priority for many second-language or

foreign-language learners (Richards, 2008:19). If the students want to have a good

speaking ability, it should be supported by teachers, students, curriculum, and facility.

The teacher represents the ability or mastery on subject matters, the application of the

methods techniques and approaches, as well as the attitude and responsibility of the

teacher. The students bring intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, their attitudes, and their

environment. The curriculum contains the planning, the syllabus, the approaches, and

assessments. The facility consists of the building, the education environment, the

teaching media, and the system of education (Cahyono 2010: 127).

Media of teaching speaking is very useful to make the process of teaching

(15)

language learning. Consequently teaching a foreign language is complex process

(Wahyurianto, 2009: 8). The teacher must use good media in teaching to be able to

attract the students to be more active in speaking. Fathurrohman and Sutikno (2007:

65), stated that media is something which brings information and knowledge in

interacting between teachers and students. It can be said, media is a tool in teaching

learning process which is used by teachers to explain the material. Besides, students

can accept the material from teacher well. It means, there is an interaction between

teachers and students.

One of the media that usually used is picture. Picture is photographic

representation of people, places, and things that can translate abstract concept into

more realistic or concrete items (Kasbollah, 1999: 21, in Rahmawati 2004). In this

research, the researcher uses the football picture as a media in teaching speaking. The

purpose of using football picture as media in teaching speaking process is making the

students get interest to join speaking class in order to students can develop their

speaking ability.

SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Malang is one of private schools in Malang which is

located on Jalan Baiduri Sepah number 27. Based on the preliminary research in

teaching English on teaching practice at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Malang, especially

in administration office class, the students do not enthusiast in learning English

especially speaking. The students get lower score in speaking ability. It is caused;

students do not understand the explanation from the teachers. Then, students are

(16)

Besides, in teaching speaking, teachers do not use kinds of media. As a result, the

teaching learning process is running monotonous. In this case, it needs such kinds of

media to increase the students’ speaking ability.

Kusumawati (2006), stated that pictures can be used in teaching writing skill

at the second class students of SMPN 01 Selorejo. It shows teaching successful with

95 % of the students can make a good topic sentence, 85 % of the students have good

unity of paragraph, 82 % of the students can make supporting sentence correctly, 75

% of students have been good in making concluding sentence, and only 57,5 % of the

students make good coherence. It means, teaching writing by using pictures can

improve students’ writing ability.

Febryanto (2012), stated that using pictures was success in improving

students’ skill in writing. It was caused by the use of such technique-pictures

provided not only shared experience for students, but also helped them to focus on

the pictures. Besides, pictures provided a lot of varieties of task. In other words,

pictures can help students to focus and improve their writing skill.

The difference between this research and previous research is that research

focuses on improving students’ speaking ability through football picture media at

SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Malang. Whereas, the previous research focuses on

improving writing skill use picture media at the second class of SMPN 01 Selorejo.

Based on the description above, the researcher is curious to investigate the use

of football picture media in teaching speaking. Therefore, the researcher would like to
