INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

English

as the first foreign language in Indonesia has become one of

obligatory subjects taught from the beginning of Junior High School

to the

University. Even, it is examined in the national final examination (Ebtanas) both in
.Junior High School and Senior High School. Now English is taught at elementary
schools as a local content subject. It is stated in the 1994 English curriculum
(Depdikbud, 1994:2) that the main objective of teaching English at Junior High
School is to enable the students to have four English skills, namely listening,
speaking, reading, and writing ski lls. In other words, the students are expected to use
English either in oral or written form. In the teaching of English, the four English
skills and the

｣ｯｭｰｮ･ｴｳｾ＠

such as structure and vocabulary are taught integratedly.

Structure as one of the English components is necessary for the students of Junior
High School to master ｢･｣｡ｵｾＮ＠

it can be used as a means of learning and developing

the four English ski lb.
The facts show that many students have problems with structure. Murdibjono
and Arwijati ( 1987:7) say that many Indonesian students have studied English as a
foreign language for years, but they sti II make mistakes in speaking and writing in
English. It needs the right structure to write good sentences. Generally, the students
of SLTP still find some difficulties in understanding and applying structure . The
research result shows that the average of grammar achievement of the second year
studens at SLTP Negeri 4 Bondowoso is poor (Kumala, 1999:20). In learning
structure, most of them do not know how to apply the structure in English. Therefore,

most of the structure they compose are not grammatically correct. It can happened,
according to Johnson ( 1988:89) because the students do not have good knowledge of
structure or they lack of structure mastery.
It means that structure that studies the rules of English is not easy for the
students to master. There are many Eng! ish rules to be learned by the students. Since
