Bab II Frame Of Theory

2.1. Concept of Vocabulary Language is a means of communication that is made up of sentences that convey meaning . In the School, learning language means learning its vocabulary . The vocabulary plays an important role In language in which the vocabulary will make a language meangful. According to Hornby ( 1986 ) , vocabulary is a total number of words that make up the language . It would be impossible to learn a language without words or vocabularies support ( River , 1981) . It shows that people can do nothing in communication if they do not know the word or vocabulary. Vocabulary is a list of words , usually in alphabetical order and with explanation of their Meaning, less complete than dictionary . it means that we should understand the meianing . Wilkins ( 1993 ) says that without grammar little thing could be convey anything without Vocabulary. Without vocabulary , we can say nothing because vocabulary is the basic element of a language .

We can say that the quality of the language performance of students will depend on the their Quality of vocabulary .

2.2. Concept of Teaching Learning Vocabulary Vocabulary is an important factor in all language . Therefore, mastering vocabulary is Important for students , in order to able to communicate with others. In teaching vocabulary The teacher should consider the important point , that is meaning, form ,function, and Pronunciation of the word. The purpose of learning vocabulary is to make the students understand the meaning of the Words. Finnochiaro ( 1967 ) suggest that teaching and learning vocabulary is an activity Where the teacher and he students reintroduce some vocabulary items with all the structure And in the entire situation in which they can logically be used. Learning vocabulary means process of gaining knowledge of vocabulary . In first step ,the Learner will get information about vocabulary . Such as: how to spell ,to pronounce ,to use It in appropriate sentences as well as the meaning. The second is how the learner obtained And pronounced the words .

Wallace ( 1988 : 13 ) says that learning vocabulary is something more than memorizing list Of words . It is supported by Kriedler ( 1963:3 ) . He staes that in modern methods of Language teaching, vocabulary learning no longer consist of memorazing words, instead Words are usually introduced in meaningful context and practiced in an appropriate Sentence patterns. In teaching learning process , the teacher may also use gesture or commands because it will Make the students able to infer the meaning of the word easily.

2.3. Song in Language Teaching Song in short poem or verses set to music and intended to song . Song is marked by richnes Of content , poetical metaphor and symbol that emotionally reflected the world we live in. Song can be used to motivate the listeners positive emotion . Song can play a really important role in the language classroom. It can change the Athmosphere in the room within seconds ( Budden,2003 ) . Furthermore, songs can be used As the topic and way to pre-teach some of vocabulary. According to Jamalus ( 1979 ) , Songs are an art to express peoples felling through words and tones. Song consist of Several sentences. A simple song usually consist of four sentences ( Jamalus, 1988 ) . by

Singing a song , children have a chance to express their feeling. Song and music can help develop listening comprehension , facilities the acquisition of Pronunciation, vocabulary , structure , and about culture . song is valuable aids in Developing students listening skill.

2.4. Theoretical Assumption Vocabulary is one of language components that have an important role for the students Who learn a language because if the students have limited number of vocabularies , they Will fail to communicate by using the language both in oral and written form. In this research. The researcher focused on teaching vocabulary especially content words at The fifth year of elementary school by using song technique .based on the frame of Theories the researcher assumes that vocabulary through song at elementary school the Students vocabulary .
