1.2 Reason for Choosing the Topic
I have cho sen the topic “The Use of Number Head Together Words Game as a
Medium to Improve the Student‟s Mastery Simple English Sentences” for the following reasons:
a The students‟ world is still full of enjoyable activities. If English is taught
interestingly, it will arouse their interest to study. b Teaching English for elementary school students is not an easy task for
teacher to do. The teacher needs to choose techniques that are appropriate to the class. As what I have stated in the background of the study above, I would
like to help the teacher to apply interesting technique to teach simple English sentences. In my opinion, the use of Number Head Together Words game as a
medium in arranging simple English sentences is able to stimulate pupil‟s interest and involvement.
c The Fourth grader of elementary school are the first class in elementary school, which get an English lesson. They are not able to write English
sentences correctly. Therefore I focuses on helping students in arranging sentences as a facilitator to help students in writing English and the materials
about arranging simple sentences is presented in the forms of Number Head Together Words game.
d Number Head Together Words game provides ideas to create the activity for the success of the English language learning and can build up the motivation
of the students to study the target language.
