CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A.Background of Study
In this modern era, people demand to have more than one language. Language as a tool
for communication takes an important role in our daily activities. Without
communication, we will be left behind. Communication in foreign language is a bridge to
get information, knowledge and culture. Indonesia as a developing country has realized
that English as an International language is needed to be mastered by Indonesian people.
English is essential to be taught for the younger people, for this case; students from the
beginner up to the senior high school. In developing the students’ ability in mastering
English, it cannot be separated from vocabulary mastery. Because it can be a
measurement of students, understand in English.
Teaching vocabulary can be done through some ways or some techniques. One of is by
implementing of mapping words in teaching activities. In this case, students allow finding
similar words, which has relationship to the main word. They can work in-group or
individually. They learn to share knowledge and information about targeted content, and
willingly do this because it is naturally following part of the class activity.
By implementing the mapping word technique in teaching, indirectly, students might be
improved their knowledge of English vocabulary. at least it will be raised their self-
confidence for expressing themselves openly, especially in speaking practice. Students
can share their knowledge and experience from others, including respectful listening and
appropriate sharing of personal perspectives. Students also reported that their
understanding of concepts were expressed and considered, at least we hope students can
do not only in developing their vocabulary but also they are able to practice either in
speaking or understanding of meaning of words.
Derived from the writer’s experience when she was conducted her research at the SMP
Negeri I - Indramayu, that the mapping words is a suitable technique for the students in
secondary level for improving their vocabulary mastery. To be proved how far the
mapping word could be influenced students’ vocabulary skill, in this paper the writer tries
to elaborate everything related to the technique of implementing mapping words and its
effect for increasing students’ vocabularies skill.
Considering the important of the identification problem, the writer is identified the
problem as follows:
1.Is the Implementation of mapping words technique effective for developing students’
vocabulary?
2.How develop students’ vocabulary through the mapping words technique?
3.Is the mapping word technique effective to recover the lack ness of students’
vocabulary?
C.Limitation of problem
The writer limits the study about, how to improve vocabulary for the students at the
secondary school grade, through mapping word technique in teaching learning English
for the class seventh at the secondary school.
In this paper, the writer focused to study about the effectiveness of the mapping word,
apply in teaching learning activity to build up students’ vocabulary.
D.Formulation of problem
Based on the importance of this research and the effort for increasing student in writing
mastery, to build up the their understanding in writing technique as many as possible, the
writer would like to formulate the problem in his paper as follows:
E.purpose of study
Based on the reason above, through this research the writer wants to prove that the
descriptive text is a good technique applied in teaching English to overcome the students’
lack ness in mastery writing.
F.Significance of study
a.for student
1.The students are able to increase their skill in writing indirectly.
2.By applying descriptive text in teaching learning activity, hopes it can dig thestudent’s
interest in English because the method is more fun and enjoy able.
3.Students will be more attracted in learning English without under pressure feeling and
forced.
CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
From the statements above the writer concludes that speaking activities based on graphics
are often a useful way of giving students valuable practices, either when they are in the
classroom activities or out door activities. The relationship between the Mapping Words
and its effect to improve student’s skill in mastering vocabulary, Nunan (1991) states
that;
“This activity is also useful way of developing notion of conversational listening skills in
that the listener can ask for further clarification if something has been understood”.
They suggest three-phase sequences for staging Mapping words techniques in teaching
vocabulary they are;
1.First-phase; the informational input can either be in the form of a memorizing to read or
perhaps it could be listening based
2.Second-phase; the information that other learners have similar with respect to some of
the measures above, and very different in other case.
3.The third- phase; the feedback phase, has to be handled carefully so as not to become a
negative account of what went wrong. For error analysis it might be possible to give a
report on general types of mistake that were made in the group, or where and how
communication broke down, as well as giving individualized feed back to learners.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Base on the statement above, the writer could determine that experimental research is the
sign used for explaining data in future situation and to observe the possibility of causal-
effect by giving treatment to compare the result.
The method that used in this research is descriptive quantitative method, where it uses a
field as an object observation describing a situation in the present time. In this paper, the
writer tries to find out significance between the implementation of the role-play in
teaching learning activities, and it significance in improving students’ vocabulary
mastery.
2.Sample
The sample to be investigated is taken randomly. The number of sample is 40 students as
the experimental or as an experimental group. In this case the writer chooses 40 students
as the control group as the comparer to the sample.
C. Place and Time
The place of research that conducted by the writer is; SMP Negeri I – Indramayu. The
observation is done on March 6, up to 6 of June 2009.
D. Data Collection
To get collecting the objective data, the writer will apply the steps as follows:
1.Observation
Observation or Study is an activity to do measuring, by using some instruments or
questions to get the data.
In this paper, the writer will observe the things that relate to the research process, which
can support result of the data such as the condition of class, the students’ capacity in
English skill or the condition of population, the technique of teaching vocabulary, the
material, and the realia using in the class.
2.Test
The writer observes variables and collects the data by using test as the main instrument. It
consists of:
1.The Pre test
2.The Post test
a.Pre-test: the first test before the writer applies the method teaching vocabulary by used
the Mapping Words technique.
b.Post-test: the second test after the writer applied the method teaching of vocabulary by
used the Mapping words technique, to know how far distinction of developing student’s
mastery in vocabulary.
3.Questionnaires
The questionnaires are one of the research instruments. The writer uses the open
questioner. It’s only for the English teacher, where the aim to know how far the
relationship among methods. The writer has determined the answer to be marked by the
respondents (teachers).the writer takes some questions as the research instrument as
follows.
1)To dig information deeply, about teaching and learning process.
2)The result is easy to be reported.
3)The respondents will return the questioner quickly
