1.2 Reasons for Choosing the Topic
There are several reasons, which become the writer’s concern in choosing the topic are as follows:
1 As language is spoken, the learners of a language have to be able to practice
conversation because language is a matter of habit. However, in fact, most of students have little opportunity to practice conversation English outside the
classroom so they need many practices when they are in classroom. Thus, during the study the writer gave more conversation to the students.
2 Young learners have a limited attention span, and easily get bored when they
are studying. Hence, teachers have to find a teaching media, which will attract the students’ attention and help them to create an English atmosphere in
classroom and make the students enjoy learning English. Therefore, the writer chooses puppets as teaching media to tackle those problems.
3 By selecting puppets and make them as teaching media, we hope that the
puppets can help young learners to improve their language skill and motivate them to use conversation English in their daily life.
