CHAPTER I

In this chapter, the writer discusses about :Background of The Study, Statement of the Problems, Objectives of the Research,Scope of the Research, Definition of Key Terms.

A. Background of the Study

The purpose of teaching English language at school is develop the student’s

language skill. It means that after following a set of English instruction at school, the students should be able to use English for both spoken and written language production actively and effectively that is to communicate to each other by giving or receiving any information from the speaker to the writer to the audience or to the reader (the Guidelines of English of Specific Program, 1994)

can sometimes made learners frustrate when they have to remember or to memorize a list of new words at once. Schmite and Mc. Carthy( 1997 : 6) say that vocabulary has an important role in language skills. In the first case study in Indonesia, that type of vocabulary learning made the students bored, less motivate and cause lack of vocabularies and fluency.

Therefore , English is very important. Especially, in dialogue between foreigners. Because of that, English became an important thing to be learnt. But to students, English is difficult to learn. Therefore, the researcher tried to introduce new technique in order to made student easy to understand about English and it can made students enjoy when they follow the English subject.

(17)

Vocabulary plays an important role in learning English. As stated by Wallace (1988:9), vocabulary is the vital aspect of language. One should master a number of words to listen, speak, read or write something in English well. A small number of words can be used effectively to express an enormous number of ideas as in the case with speaking, it is important to get leaner be able to use a small productive vocabulary. Therefore, the mastery of adequate vocabulary was needed in using English written or oral texts.

They should be condition to be interest in English by introducing English when they are still in elementary school with a teaching technique and material which are able to arise their interest in learning English. Based on the background state previously, the researcher focuses her classroom action research on teaching vocabulary by Word Search Puzzle media in teaching vocabulary. It is hoped that the teaching learning process through by Word Search Puzzle media technique can increase student vocabulary achievement and the quality of teacher teaching performance.

B.Statement of the Problems

The research is conducted under 3 major questions. They are as follow:

1. Can the use of Word Search Puzzle improve students vocabulary mastery at Elementary School?

(18)

4

3. What problem do students find in learning vocabulary through Word Search Puzzle?

C.Objectives of the Research

Derived directly from the mentioned research questions above, the objectives of this research are:

1. To find out whether the use of Word Search Puzzle can significantly improve students vocabulary mastery at Elementary School.

2. To find out the students responses toward the use of Word Search Puzzle in improving their vocabulary mastery at Elementary School.

3. To find out the students problems in learning vocabulary.

D. Scope of the Research

The research is focuss on the use of Search Word Puzzle in improving students vocabulary, especially of noun and verb. Because research think this material easy and many example in we are around. The research is conducted at the Three grade students of SD Negeri 1 Sukamulya.

E. Definition of Key Terms

To avoid the drawback or misunderstanding of some words in this research, it is important to give some explanations or definitions as follows:

(19)

5

2. Improvement to become better than before ; to make something or somebody better than before. (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary)

3. Vocabulary, according to Aeborsold and Field ( 1997 ) classified vocabulary into active and passive vocabulary.

a. Active vocabulary refers to put items, which the learner can be use appropriately speaking or writing and it is also called as productive vocabulary.

b. Passive vocabulary refers to language items that can be recognized and understood in the context of reading or listening and also called as receptive vocabulary.

(20)

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

In this chapter, the writer discusses about :Vocabulary for Elementary School, The teaching of Vocabulary, The Advantage and Disadvantage of Using Puzzle for Teaching Vocabulary

2.1Vocabulary for Elementary School

Since mastering vocabulary is a process, it will be better if the process begins at the earliest stage that is since elementary school age; Scoot (1991:1-5) states that 5-7 years old area all at level one, the beginner stage. The 8-9 years old may also be at the beginner stage. Since the students in grade five are about 9-10 years old, in this case they are called beginner.

(21)

goal of KTSP. The government hopes that the implementation of English can increase human resource if the students master English for communication.

Furthermore, Pinnochiro (1974: 234 in Alwasilah (1985) administrates that mastery the language skill such as stated above, the language users should practice and doing as much exercise as possible. Because when the language users are able to produce the four skills, intelligibility he/she must be better in thinking and acting. It was clear now how the skills are related to each other, as well as they cannot be apart from vocabulary.

2.2. The Teaching of Vocabulary

Learning new words is important part of learning a new language. It was impossible to made sentences when speaking a language without knowing words/ vocabularies. Learning some words and phrases in a new language allows people to start communicating at once. Knowing vocabulary seems to be the basic things in learning language, even children learning their native tongue usually learn isolated words or phrases before piecing them together into more complex

utterance. ”The fact is that while without grammar very little can be conveyed,

without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed” (Wilkins ; 1972: 111).

(22)

8

2.2.1. Definition of Vocabulary

To understand vocabulary, below are the definitions:

a. Vocabulary is a component of a language that maintains all of information about meaning and using word in language. HarimurtiKridalaksana (1993:127) b.Vocabulary is one of important factors in all language teaching, students must

contunually be learning words as they learn structure. (Edward ;1997).

2.2.2. Types of Vocabulary

According to Nation in Rojali (2005:20) deals with vocabulary items consist of two types, receive vocabulary and productive vocabulary. Nation defines receptive vocabulary as word which can be recognized when it is heard (what is the sound like), when it is seen (what is it look like). In the other word, it knows all thing of that word. Meanwhile, productive vocabulary is word which is able to be pronounced, to be written, to be spelled, how to use grammatical pattern. However and whatever the terms are used by the language experts. It refers to recognition and production of word when the person does communication to the other; they usually refer to some meanings.

Another type of vocabulary items stated by Gorrel and Laird in Novalia (2007: 8) as almost everyone has at least four basic of vocabulary items” they are as follow :

(23)

9

b. Reading vocabulary. Types of vocabulary which allow to people to know and to use vocabulary little large speaking vocabulary.

c. Writing vocabulary, which includes the word in speaking vocabulary, pus other words that can call up. This stage is much larger than speaking and reading vocabulary.

d. Acquaintance vocabulary, the large vocabulary include speaking vocabulary, reading vocabulary and writing vocabulary it include also a considerable number of word which the owner has been seen or heard before but does not do know about his/her may remember about them so that he can usually guess heir meaning contextually.

2.3. Technique for Teaching Vocabulary

Harmer (1991: 154) states “one of the problems of vocabulary teaching is how to

select what word to teach”.Furthermore, Harmer (2001: 159) states “some which

the language teacher can use to encourage the students to really learn a word, i.e.

(1) active and passive, (2) interaction which word and (3) discovery techniques”.

a. Active and Passive Vocabulary

A distance frequently made between “active and passive” vocabulary active

(24)

10

vocabulary, which student can learn most of the early words will be constantly practiced and so can presumably be considered as active.

b. Interaction with Words

Experiment on vocabulary seems to suggest that students remember bet when they have actually done something with the words they are learning. However there is a define advantage in getting students to do more than just repeat them. Task such as changing them to means theirs opposites, making a noun, an adjective, putting

word together etc. help to fix the word in the learner’s minds. Then it seems that

we should get students to interact with words. We should get them to “adopt” word that they like and want to use. We should get them to do thing with word so that they become properly acquainted with them.

c. Discovery Techniques

Discovery techniques use with vocabulary material allows students to activate previous knowledge and to share what they know (if they are working others). They also provoked the kinds of interaction with words which we have said desirable.

2.4. Puzzle for Teaching Vocabulary

(25)

order and show the words hidden in the grid so you can quickly page through the list and find one that meets your needs. The words can be in several directions or only forward and down if you need something for the youngsters.

To view or print a History word search puzzle click on its title. Once you've clicked a title you see a link to separate answer grid page with hints for the teachers that show where the words start. Our most important instruction is that we want you to be sure to have fun while we learn. A puzzle consisting of letters arranged in a grid which contains a number of hidden words written in various directions.

Word search games, also know as word find games, are popular for helping students recognize words. In searching for words, the students seem to read and memorize the words in a way that they enjoy and which helps them learn the words and their spelling. Word search can be played online or users can create a printable word search.

In teaching, the she taught about profession, fruits, animals and noun around the classroom. The collaborator observed the situation in the class and made some necessary notes.

3. Observation

(33)

19

3.4. Indicators of the Research

In order to find out whether the use of Word Search Puzzle can increase the students’ vocabulary mastery or not, the researcher determine the indicator

dealing with the learning process and learning product :

1. Learning Process

The observation of the process of teaching is based on the lesson plan made by the teacher and the real process in the classroom. It consist of pre-activity, while-activity and post activity. The target is that 80% of students are active during teaching and learning process. The students are involved in each activity and respond to teacher’s instruction appropriately. Students activity is

measured written report of the collaborator in observation sheet. Whereas the researcher was teaching, the collaborator observed the teaching and learning process in the classroom and focused on the participation and the involvement of students in the activity.

2. Learning Product

(34)

3.5. Instrument of the Research

In getting the data, the researcher employ two kinds of instruments. The first instrument is the main source of instrument of information and the second one support the analysis itself. The instrument use here were (1) vocabulary test and (2) observation sheet.

1. Vocabulary Test

The first instrument used in getting the data was vocabulary test. Vocabulary test was chosen as the instrument because it required students to measured their vocabulary achievement. Vocabulary test can also motivated the students to improved their English. The researcher using vocabulary test propose by Heaton (1991). The test assessed the student’s understanding and the students vocabulary by choosing the correct answer. It was tried out and it was a good reflection of what had been taught of the knowledge which the teacher wanted the student to know, the teacher compared it with a table of spesification. If the table represented the materials that the teacher wanted to test, then it was considered to be a valid test.

Table 1. Table of Spesification of Vocabulary Test

Table above showed that students did two activities: participating actively in the opening of the class and responding to the teacher’s questions about the topic

enthusiastically. More over, they also must do several activities during while activity: Responding to the lesson explained by the teacher, answering the teacher’s question, following the teacher’s instruction (discuss the picture)

practicing search word based on word search puzzle. Meanwhile, in post activity, students do a vocabulary test individually.

To know whether the target of the indicator of this classroom action research has already been achieved or not after implementation of word search puzzle. It explained and showed the process of the student’s activities during the teaching

learning process on the next chapter.

3. Teacher’s Performance

It was similar to the students activities there was also improvement on the teacher’s teaching performance in each cycle. If the teacher’s performance in the

first cycle was unsatisfactory, it means there were still some weakness in her teaching performance which influence the students’ vocabulary mastery and the student’s activities. However, after implementing the solution to cover the weakness, not only the teacher’s teaching performance was already improved but

3.6. Data Analysis

According to Setiyadi (2006:254), data analysis is process of organizing the data in order to gain regularity of the pattern from the research. In this research, the teacher validated the data by using vocabulary test and observation. After getting the data from the test and observation, the teacher analyzed the data based on the limitation of the problems and objectives of the research.

The data relevant to the research question are selected. All of the collected data classified into two categories, data from observation (learning process) and those from the test (learning product). The data was interpreted and drawn into conclusion. Based on the analysis and reflection, the weakness and strenght can be identified from the first cycle, and improvement can determined for the next cycle.

To see the percentage of student who gets >65 the formula is: Number of students who get >65 X 100%

Total in number of students
