Handling Most of Second-Grade Students Class B Who Lacked of Vocabulary at SD 1 Angkasa Bandung.
ABSTRACT
Tugas Akhir ini berisi pembahasan masalah yang saya hadapi selama
magang pada bulan Januari 2015 sebagai asisten guru yang mengajar di SD
1 Angkasa Bandung. Dalam penelitian ini, saya membahas masalah dalam
menangani anak-anak kelas dua yang sulit memahami kosa kata di kelas
mata pelajaran inggris yang saya ajarkan.
Berdasarkan hasil analisi dari anak-anak sulit mengikuti pelajaran kosa
kata adalah karena saya kurang berpengalam dalam mengajar, saya juga
tidak menggunakan tehnik mengajar yang benar, selain itu sebagian dari
anak-anak sangat kurang menyukai membaca English texts di kelas saya
ataupun di rumah mereka.
Oleh karena itu dampak dari anak-anak sulit mengikuti pelajaran kosa
kata ini adalah anak-anak menjadi sulit untuk berkomunikasi dalam bahasa
inggris didalam kelas, setelah itu sebagian anak-anak menjadi sulit mengikuti
pelajaran bahasa Inggris dan juga anak-anak mendapatkan nilain yang tidak
baik di bidang mata pelajaran Inggris.
Untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini, saya memiliki tiga solusi yang dapat
diterapkan dan sangat membantu saya. Pertama, saya akan mengajar
dengan menggunakan permainan dalam kelas agar murid-murid akan lebih
tertarik dengan materi yang saya ajarkan. Kedua, saya akan mencoba
mereka untuk ikut berpatisipasi dengan mengikuti pelatihan untuk guru yang
baru saja memulai pengajaran agar saya dapat lebih percaya diri di dalam
kelas, dan solusi terakhir saya akan meminta anak-anak untuk lebih sering
membaca English texts di dalam kelas.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
The topic of this term paper is based on my internship from
January 12, 2015 until February 18, 2015 as a teacher assistant at
SD 1 Angkasa Bandung. My job is teaching Vocabulary. I help the
students to build their vocabulary to make them able to
communicate with others in English. Based on an article
“Vocabulary and Its Importance in Language Learning” it is said that
“Teaching vocabulary helps students understand and communicate
with others in English.” (par. 2). It is clear teaching vocabulary is
important as it will enable the students to acquire new words they
need for communication.
When I had my internship, I found a problem. My problem is
handling most of second-grade students class B who lacked of
vocabulary. There were thirty students in the class. Most of the
1
Maranatha Christian University
The students were 7-8 years old. They began to learn English
formally when they were in the second grade, thus it was hard for them to
follow the lessons. For example, during English lessons they were asked
to speak English in the class. Because the students lacked of vocabulary,
The students did not know what to say in English. In the end, they only
kept silent. This situation happened several times during my internship.
Based on the above explanation, I would like to discuss about
handling most of second-grade students class B who lacked of vocabulary.
Based on an article “How to Teach Vocabulary Effectively” it is said” “
without a good knowledge of vocabulary, it is extremely difficulty to
communicate” (12). It is clear that to communicate effectively ,the students
needto know a large number of words and their meanings. I choose this
topic since I am interested in helping the students who lacked of
vocabulary. This term paper will analyze the causes, the effects, and the
solutions to solve my problem.
