significant of the research and scope of the research.
A. Background
There
are four language skills namely: listening, speaking, writing and reading. To
achieve the four skills, it is important to master language components namely :
vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
One of the language components that holds an
important role is vocabulary. We can see that in speaking skills, the student
cannot speak English because they have limited vocabulary. In reading and
listening skills, the student cannot understand what they read and listen,
because they lack vocabulary. Wilkins in Widiastuty (1997 : 111) states that
the fact is without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary,
nothing can be conveyed.
Vocabulary
is one of the important things in learning English. Learning vocabulary for
young learner is fundamental because the ability of students to learn English
especially to read as well as to comprehend the subject is determined by
vocabulary competence if the learners have no or lack vocabulary and the
ability to communicate and to convey their need could not be established
Beside that, vocabulary is one of the
important elements in building up English. It is impossible to express our
ideas, emotion, feeling, and desire without vocabulary. The mastery of
vocabulary becomes very essential for the students to learn a language, whether
as a second language or as a foreign language. Rita (1994)
