1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

1. I Background of The study

Everybody knows that language is as a means to convey ideas, opinions, and feeling among the people by oral or written ways. One of the languages which are often used as a means of communication is English. It becomes the dominant language around the world, and now more and more people use English as an international language. Therefore, mastery of English by Indonesian people could be significant requirements in order to be successful in the process of getting science and technology. It is reasonable enough to learn it since English plays an important role.

In learning English Language, there are four skills that must be mastered well; (1) reading, (2) writing, (3) listening and (4) speaking. Each English skill has different objective that has to be reached in order to master English Language. Reading skill focuses on the students’ ability in understanding and comprehending reading passage. For listening skill, the student must understand oral text both direct conversation and cassette. Writing skill requires the students to arrange words to be a sentence, sentences to be a paragraph, and so on. Speaking skill provides the students to produce English orally.

The English skills are supported by the learning of language elements. They are structure, vocabulary, pronunciation, and spelling. Vocabulary is one of the important language elements that the students should be master. Vocabulary

(10)

includes collections of words.which can only be recognized and comprehended in the context of reading and listening.

Wilga and Rivers wrote that vocabulary cannot be taught. There also some people who say that vocabulary cannot be taught, it only be learned by students. This is perhaps partially true. When students study vocabulary individually, very often it is rote learning whose effectiveness is seldom guaranteed, particularly why they do not fully understand the meaning of vocabulary. When the students study vocabulary together, through various activites and under the teacher’s supervision, vocabulary learning becomes more fun and effective. To motive the students in teaching learning activity, especially in vocabulary subjet; should be used.

Media have great contributions to the teaching and learning process. Instructional media are the media that are used to make communication between teacher and students in teaching learning process at school more effective (Hamalik, 1996). The class can be more alive because the students feel interested and more active in attending the class and joining the lesson.

Media as teaching aids are needed to help the students understand and to increase the effectiveness in the communication between teacher and students in the teaching learning process. It is also used to stimulate the students’ motivation and interest to the lesson.
