Chapter IV Research Finding
In this chapter, the writer presents the result of classroom action research conducted to enrich students’ vocabulary mastery for the
students of Nusantara vocational high school class XI.2 marketing program academic year 20102011.
A. Before Implementing CAR 1. The Result of interview
Before implementing CAR, the writer interviewed the students of Nusantara vocational high school class XI.2 marketing program. It was
unstructured interview, the writer gave some questions for the students related to the teaching and learning vocabulary, the questions could be
about the techniques that the teacher used in presenting new vocabulary, then the writer found that the technique is monotonous, the teacher gave
some vocabularies taken from students’ book, then she asked them to
memorize the whole vocabulary, in addition, the teacher also asked the students to memorize some conversations that make them bored, and they
easily forgot what they had memorized because the vocabularies were never recalled.
2. Pre Observation
From the pre observation, the writer saw that the technique the teacher used in presenting new vocabularies was by memorization, the
teacher chose some words from the students’ book, and then the students memorized the whole words. In the next meeting, the teacher did not
review the words. In addition, the teacher did not make the students apply the words into sentences, therefore, they only knew the words, but
could not know how to use them in the broader form. During the class, most of students were getting bored, some were
sleeping, talking to their friends, even though some were still paying attention to the teacher.
In the observation, the writer found that the teacher did not expose the students into English language, it could be caused when she tried to
speak English, the students always complained; they did not have any idea what she was talking about. However, it was understandable, since
the students had very limited English vocabulary. It occur the same thing and condition in the second meeting of
observation, in that meeting, the teacher got the students to memorize the conversation, it was about expressing idea, the students complained and
got bored.
