CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
This
chapter deals with background, research question objective of the research, scope
of the research and the significance of the research.
A.
Background
In
the seventeenth century, English became one of the modern languages in Europe.
It replaced Latin language which had been popular in seventeenth century. Day
after day English became an international language and it is used as a means of
communication in the whole world. Not only communication, but also science,
news, theory, philosophy, and other thing are using English. Because of that,
mastering and using English language are important in this era for all people
in the world. In other words, English language is very important and has wide
influence in the world.
In Indonesia, English as a
foreign language and the government of Indonesia inserted English language in
the school curriculum. It is very important for the students to operate
computer, internet, and to improve various kinds of knowledge. That is one of
the reasons that we have to study English more seriously and try to be able to
speak it fluently.
Generally, in learning
language, vocabulary always becomes the first aspect that must be mastered
before the other component of language that supports one skill of English
competences. Therefore, Napa (1991:15) observed that learning English
vocabulary takes an important position.
However, Salim (2008:1) in his research stated that
vocabulary is not an easy item to be mastered in learning English, so that to
make student enable to master English vocabulary easily, some possible ways
should be applied and one of them is teaching vocabulary by using game/software.
Some students in junior high school tend to learn through software because this
software can increase their motivation and also make the situation fun. In
other hand, Jung (2014:58) defines that Children must be literate in both
technology and English to survive in today's information society. An abundance
of software is available for educational and recreational purposes.
Some teachers have presented
some techniques in teaching vocabulary but in fact, there are still many
students whose vocabulary ability is still very poor, including the first grade
as the object place of this study. This case can be proved that when the
English teacher of SMP Muhammadiyah 10 Makassar explained the materials in
English, students were confused and they did not understand what the teacher
said. Besides, when English subject was delivered in the class, most of
students did not understand the context of the text and they did not know the
meaning of vocabularies in the text. After having an observation in SMP Muhammadiyah
10 Makassar, The writer got the information from the English teacher that the
students were very difficult to learn or memorize new vocabularies. To solve
this problem, the writer attempts to present or to teach them by using software.
The Writer was be using the “Effective English software” media in teaching
vocabulary because the students in Junior High school are very interested in
computer.
By looking at the
importance of vocabulary, the writer conducted a research about using software to
measure the students’ vocabulary ability. The writer believed that to solve the
lack of students’ vocabulary should be taught by using various techniques in
presenting vocabulary. As Napa (1991:1) stated that the vocabularies are
developed using different methods and techniques such as software, words,
games, crossword puzzle, snakes, coil words, etc. The purpose is of course to
make the material more enjoyable, interesting and challenging. Furthermore, Elturki
and Hussein (2003:54) said that software that offers different activities to
practice the skills needed to approach English for academic purposes
effectively. They believed that software is just for fun and they have effect
in teaching and learning.
Based on the background of this study, the
writer formulates the research questions of this study as: “How does
significant effect of using “Effective English software” media to measure the
students’ vocabulary ability at the seven grade students’ of SMP Muhammadiyah
10 Makassar?”
