A. The background of the problem
Language is very important that we need to communicate with other
people it‟s a tool that used to share the feeling or the idea of the people.
According to oxford advance learners „dictionary (1995)“language is the
system of sound and words use by human to express their thoughts and
feelings. Devito ( 1970 : 7) defines that language is a potentially self
reflexives, structured system of symbols which catalog the objects, events,
and relatoins in the world.
Based on the definition above, it is absolutely known that language
that a system of sound which catalog the object, even and realtion in the
world and to express ideas, emotion and desire from some one to someone
else as an instrument of communication.
Using language we can express our desire, connect the information
which wants to be conveyed each other; there are a lot of language that used
in the world one of them is English..Muhan Ali khuli (1976:10) stated that
“English is an the foreign language in all country in the world”
From the statemant above it is absolutly known that English is an
international language used by people all over the world to communicate
with other people for examplele in the process of diplomatic relationship,
Moreover, English is one of international language and it is also as a
foreign language for Indonesia itself. Crystal (1997) argued that English is an
important language as it is spoken by many people in many countries.
Based on the statement above English is admitted by all countries and used
to communicate among countries. And English is a foreign language that is
learned by Indonesian people. English language is one of the subjects included
in the curriculum of elementary school, junior school, senior high school and
university, because English is needed by Indonesian people to effort and
develops our country.
It has been observed that they are curious to know the English more master
the language skill such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, which all of
they presented integrated. If we want to use the language properly, we have to
know many aspects in teaching and learning English for communication. One
form of communication is interaction between speakers,but in this case the
writer will only discuss about writing activity, writing skill for the students is
very important to be the most primary activity because if they will able to
write so that not only they can write what they have written but other speaker
of the language can read and understand it.
As an international language English has been studied an all of the
word, its means that English has studied in most countries including our
country Indonesia. These reason to answer the questions why we teach and
Although English has been studied when they were at elementary
school but so far they still find English difficult, especially in learning
compound sentence. The writer find the weakness of the students in write
the compound sentence, most students of the student of SMPN2 Jatiwangi
still confused by using compound sentence and to write the compound
sentence.
The most of Students‟ SMPN 2 Jatiwangi still confused by using
conjuntion,conjuntive adverb and semicolon. especially to write compound
sentence for example :
1. The man entered the gun
2. Bank personel was not amused
To joint the two simple sentence to a compound sentence:
The man entered the gun bank personel was not amused ( incorrect )
The sentence above is absolutely not true, the true is
The man enterd the gun and bank personel was not amused ( correct)
(Browndougth 1994:220) stated that:” a few decades ago writing
teacher were concerned with the final product of writing: the essay, the
report, , the story, and what the product should „look” like.
Reading English short story has a function of enlarge the students‟
abilty in structure of sentnece granmatical rules Jane willis ( 1981 : 142 )
The short stories are the most suitable literary genre to use in English
teaching due to its shortness, is supported by Collie and Slater (1991: 196)
First, short stories are practical as their length is long enough to cover
entirely in one or two class sessions. Second, short stories are not
complicated for students to work with on their own. Third, short stories
have a variety of choice for different interests and tastes. Finally, short
stories can be used with all levels (beginner to advance), all ages (young
learners to adults) and all classes.
From the statement above therefore it is necessary to look for a new
way teaching writing especially compound sentence. Perhaps one way of
one of the easier ways in learning compound sentence is using short story,
by using short story in learning compound sentence the student will find out
both some compound sentence.
Ali Alkhuli 1967: 72 statement that “ reading is enjoyment we some
time read not to collet information do a research, summarize a text or get
ready for a test we sometime read for a sake of enjoyment a way occur when
we raed a novel, story or a poem,in addition, that will have fun and relax
because short story will be interesting to read”
The writer chooses short story as media to improve students‟
ability in learning compound sentence.
Based on the background above the writer would like to do research THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE STUDENTS’ RESPONSE OF
