CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDING AND DISCUSSION
In this chapter, the writer presents the result of her classroom action research. The subject of this research was the eighth grade students of SMPN 1
Tempuran in the 20092010 academic year. This chapter is divided into four parts: Introduction, The Implementation of Audio-visualized Narrative Text, Research
Finding, and Discussion.
A. Introduction
Based on the pre-research which was conducted to eighth grade students of SMP N 1 Tempuran, the writer found that the students had low vocabulary
mastery. It was revealed in the interview with the English teacher and the students, and through classroom observation.
The students’ low vocabulary mastery was caused by their low motivation. It was seen from their reluctance to join English class. Some of them
did not seem to be interested in the teaching learning process. When the teacher did drilling technique, only some of the students followed the teacher instruction.
The students seemed to be afraid of making mistake. Moreover, in the teaching and learning activity, the students got
difficulties in understanding and grasping the meaning of words. For one thing, when the teacher asked some commonly taught words such as: sew, paint, burn,
hungry, spend, throw, and thirsty to one of her students, the students could not answer her question correctly.

The students also had problem in writing words or group of words correctly. Based on the interview with the English teacher, the writer knew that
students sometimes understood the meaning of a word, but they could not write it correctly. For example, they wrote ‘excelent’ for ‘excellent’. They could not
pronounce it correctly either. In this study, audio-visualized narrative text was used to overcome those
problems. Audio-visualized narrative text was used by teacher to help the students grasp meaning, pronounce and use words correctly in fun and motivating
atmosphere. Audio-visualized narrative text gives the audio-visual of words to the
students. Audio provides the model of the correct pronounciation of words and visualization can help to show the spelling of words. It also stimulates students’
motivation and interest in genuine context of use. In short, there were two targets that the researcher wanted to achieve
through the use of audio-visualized narrative text: to improve of students’ vocabulary mastery and to create interesting situation in the classroom.
