CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the aspects dealing with the introduction. These
aspects are background of the study, statement of the problems, purposes of the
study, significance of the study, scope and limitation of the study, and definition
of the key terms.
1.1Background of the Study
The English learning at Islamic junior high school has become the power
to show that Islamic students do not only focus on learning Arabic but also
English. Some interviews have been done on the teachers of Islamic junior high
school about the importance of learning English in Islamic schools. They realize
that English is the global language which cannot be separated from Indonesian
people. That is also supported by Crystal (2003) who states that English is global
language and people use it to communicate as international language. By learning
the global language, English, the students get more knowledge such as in
communication by using English language-based technology like internet and
receive English language-based news faster than the other tool could. Therefore,
English can help students get more knowledge from necessary sources.
However, there are some problems which make English difficult to be
learnt by students, including pronunciation, pitch, intonation, sound, spelling, and
2
pronunciation and spelling because the first language previously received
becomes habitually spoken. Other problems of speaking commonly come from
the individual learners. Hosni (2014) found that there are three problems in
learning speaking which come from individual. The first is linguistic difficulties
which indicate the students struggle to find the appropriate vocabulary when they
are speaking and also difficult to build sentences when they try to express their
ideas. The second is mother tongue use which becomes particularly common in
less discipline class because the students can express their mind by using native
language. Finally, inhibition become the problem which commonly happen to
students in elementary level of English because they are afraid of making mistake,
feeling shy, and losing face.
The English learning at Islamic junior high school (MTs) for the seventh
grade student is necessary to be investigated. Based on Permendikbud
(Permendikbud No. 57 year 2014) about curriculum for elementary school,
English is not included as the mandatory subject, but the elementary school may
include English as an additional lesson “muatan lokal” or extracurricular. That
means the elementary students are not required to acquire English lesson well
because English is only an additional lesson, while in junior high school/Islamic
junior high school (MTs), English is a mandatory subject and examined in the UN
(National Examination). It makes seventh grade students of junior high school
must struggle to learn English. Some ways have been created for junior high
school students to love and be familiar with English and use it habitually, for
3
speech contest, and written English (order, prohibition, motto, and etcetera) in
school area. Those activities can motivate the students to learn English
comfortably because there is no pressure or standard score outside class.
According to Lunenburg and Ornstein (2008), extracurricular activities are
voluntary and held by school officials, and it does not influence students’
academic score toward graduation. Usually, there are more than one
extracurricular program in one school, such as sport, music, Boy Scout,
automotive and many more. Generally, extracurricular programs are for free,
which means that it is optional for every student from all classes to follow them.
however, there are many advantages which can be taken by students. Supported
by Wilson (2009), the benefits of participating in extracurricular activities are not
only having better grades, having higher standardized test scores, and higher
educational attainment, but also attending school more regularly and having a
higher self-concept. Thus, learning something or a lesson in an extracurricular
program can make students more relaxed and get enjoyment because there is no
compulsion from any party to reach the minimum score.
As a prospective teacher, understanding the motivation of the learners is
important because it can improve the quality of score and students’ ability. For
example, the students who join an extracurricular program in a school might have
a purpose, and the purpose produces a motivation or a reason why they join it.
When the teacher recognizes the students’ motivation, whether it comes from
outside or inside, the teacher can choose and decide the best method or strategies
4
learn and directs students to reach their goal (Ormrod, 2008). So, motivation is an
important part in learning.
There are some researchers who have conducted the research in the same
field as this present study. Firstly, Rosita (2007) found that the students’ extrinsic
motivation was more dominant than their intrinsic motivation, and the lecture’s
ways in giving motivation were still ineffective. The second researcher, Dwina
(2007), found that the students’ intrinsic motivation was more influential than
their extrinsic motivation. Another researcher is Samudra (2010) found that the
students liked to learn English because of their own will. The difference between
those previous researches and this research is that this research investigates the
students’ motivation in learning speaking in the extracurricular program at Islamic
junior high school.
The researcher is interested in investigating the motivation of the seventh
grade students who join English Club extracurricular program at MTs
Darussalam, Blitar for some reasons. Firstly, the seventh grade students of MTsN
Jabung find the new thing that is learning English as a mandatory subject.
Secondly, the students’ motivation in learning speaking needs to be excavated
because it has a big influence on the students’ achievement. Finally, the researcher
would like to investigate on the motivation of the students who join English Club
Extracurricular (ECE) program because in ECE, based on pre-observation of the
