From the definitions above, the writer concludes that vocabulary is the first important component in learning a language, not only in written
communication, but also in spoken communication. We use vocabulary to convey meaning, and we need new vocabulary every day to enrich our vocabulary
mastery.
2.2.1.2 Types of Vocabulary
In learning vocabulary of a language, there are some types of vocabulary which we have to know. According to Kamil and Hiebert 2005:3, generically,
vocabulary is the knowledge of meanings of words. They divides words into two forms: oral and print. Oral vocabulary is the set of words for which we know the
meanings when people speak or read orally. Print vocabulary consists of those words for which the meaning is known when people write or read silently.
Moreover, Kamil and Hiebert 2005:3 said that knowledge of words also comes in at least two forms, receptive vocabulary and productive vocabulary.
Productive vocabulary is the set of words that an individual can use when writing or speaking. They are words that are well-known, familiar, and used frequently.
Conversely, receptive vocabulary is that set of words for which an individual can understand and recognize meanings when listening or reading. These are words
that are often less well known to students and less frequent in use. From the definitions above, the writer concludes if we use a language, the
choice of words is different in every single particular language skill. The vocabulary which used in speaking or writing will be different while in reading or
listening.
2.2.1.3 Teaching Vocabulary
Because of the importance of vocabulary, it is important for both teachers and learners to pay serious attention in learning vocabulary. Teaching is a challenging
task for teachers. They are required to find some techniques or media and materials that are suitable for their students.
Nation in Cameron 2001:85 stated: “Teachers can explain the meanings of new words, all of which can
be used in the young learner classroom: by demonstration or pictures: using an object, using a cut-out figure, using gesture,
performing an action, photographs, drawing or diagrams on the board, and pictures from books to these we might add moving
images, from TV, video or computer. In addition by verbal explanation, analytical definition, putting the new word in a defining
context, and translating into another language.
” Hatch and Brown in Cameron 2001:84 mentioned that there are five
essential steps of learning vocabulary. They are: having source for encountering new words, getting a clear image for the form of new words, learning the meaning
of words, making a strong memory connection between the form and the meaning of the words, and using the words.
Based on the explanations above, we can conclude that there are many ways to enlarge vocabulary mastery. Teachers should be able to create an
excellent technique in teaching vocabulary in order to make students remember new words easily.
