THE
EFFECT OF STUDENTS’ INTEREST IN ENGLISH AND THE HABIT OF WATCHING ENGLISH FILMS
TO STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY MASTERY AT SMKN IN PASARKEMIS TANGERANG
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Language is a tool to
communicate among people in the world. As a tool for communication, language is
very important role in the life to express our feeling, ideas, or opinions.
One of the language widely
used for international communication is English. English as an international
language, used by people of over the world. Although there are other
languages that are recognized as
international language. English is still remaining the most important and
popular language in the world. It is used as a mean of communication among
people from many countries, particulary for educational, commercial and
political purpose, as stated by Robert claborne : “language – as- communication
is the prime means for organizing the cooperative activities that enable us to
accomplish as groups things we could not possibly do as individuals”.1
Therefore in Indonesia English has
officially stated by the goverment to be a subject matter in every school
level, beginning at elementary school up to universiity level. And this foreign language is learn at school
and universities in all of the world. Although English has been tought in every
school level, students still have difficulties in learning and using this
language orally and written. In additional, English has been used in all aspect
of communication, science and technology. For example most computers are used
in english, a lot of books, both scientific or non scientific are written in
English. Moreover, there are now many
accupation requiring the ability to cummunicate in English. In other words,
English is the key to success.
In reality, the teaching of
English is not done successfully, many students are not able to use English
language or hoped by the curriculum. There are many factors causing the problem
namely, the internal and external factors of the students.
In teaching and learning
process, the teacher is hoped not only to transfer knowledge of the students,
but also increase their interest especially in English.
And an English learning
will go diligently if the learner is willing to learn. It will emerge students’
feeling that they need too. Such willingness it is usually based upon a
necessity to understand or to be able to communicate in English. It is clear
know that interest in English has very important role in learning process.
And from the students interest in
english, of course the teacher wanted that their students get the best score of English. But to get the
best score is not enough with have the interest in English. To get the high score is not easy. The
students must study hard and always focus to listen to the teacher that explain
about the English subject and of course they must know a lot of vocabularies.
And as we know, nowadays
English becomes more and more important for people throughout the world because
people need to communicate to each other using English that would be a lingua
franca for several languages that exist. English is one of the most popular
international languages in the world. For that reason people need to have the
ability to speak English fluently. To face the global era, in Indonesia English
is adopted as be the first foreign language. Hence, English is needed to be
taught at elementary schools because it will be the basic element for the
higher level. By learning English, the students are expected to become
accustomed to the language. Vocabulary is necessary in every stage of language
learning. Language is not only used as words of knowledge, but also a medium in
mastery at a level which automatically allows them using it in real time. So we
need to master vocabulary first before we learn a certain language. If we do
not understand any word of the language we will not be able to understand the
meaning of it. Considering the importance of vocabulary, it is better to
introduce new
vocabulary earlier. And Teachers need to review the lesson all the time in order to help them memorize the new vocabulary easily.
vocabulary earlier. And Teachers need to review the lesson all the time in order to help them memorize the new vocabulary easily.
Because
vocabulary is very important. In any
foreign language, learning vocabulary is necessary. Good mastery of vocabulary
is important aspect in communication. Vocabulary is one of the language
elements to learn while students are learning a language, especially English. But
the fact a little of students who mastery the vocabulary and they will not to
study hard and listen the explenation from their teacher. Most of them are lazy
to do that, they prefer to play, listen to the music or watching the
movie. but there are some interest ways
that will make the higher English score. For example, with often listen the
English songs and often watching English films.
Millions of people around the world want to
learn English or improve their skills in the language. There are many reasons
for this. Some people plan to move t the United States. Others want to visit America
or another English-speaking country. Still other people need to know English for work in their home nations. Many interntional
businesses today require knowledge of the language.
Movies and television programs offered a good chance for people so that they can
listen to the foreigners speak normal English pronunciations and learn the native
English.
And now, almost all of the people like
watching English film. Athough some people who watching English films, they
still do not understand the whole meaning of the sentences, but they could
catch the main idea of it. In learning process information comes into human
thought or human consciousness through five senses. Sense of hearing and sense
of sight are the senses which receive the most stimulus of information. Films
and television shows are tremendous resources for that.
A research in United States
concluded that the learner commonly uses 13% sense of hearing, 75% sense of
sight, and 12% sense of others.2
a researh also concluded that visual ability is better to memorize a
subject than verbal ability.

English films and television program offer
on excellent opportunity to develop accuracy and fluency of vocabulary in
English. Although students enjoy simply watching film in English, this activity
does not lead to appreciable learning. By watching english films the people can
take an opportunity to learn English and vocabulary mastery.
From those backgrounds and the
writer knows how the importance of vocabulary mastery in learning english, the
writer is interested in searching about the effect of students’ interest in
English and the habit of watching English films to students’ vocabulary mastery
at SMKN in Pasarkemis Tangerang.
1.2 IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM
Problem identification is
one of the crucial stages in research
which also perceived as initial stage, which enables the researchers to find
out the exact problem at the grass root level to avoid it.
The problem defining
consists of two steps, one is finding and setting objectives that is, what is the goal and what is
the research going to achieve. The
second step is the measure of success, which is nothing but
setting up a plan to find out solutions for the problems discovered.
Problem identification
involves clear and precise perception of the problems which exist. The
identification and understanding of problem is crucial as it will affect rest
of the activities involved in the research process. There are many ways such as
customer feedback, sales graphs, internal and external data reports and
purchasing patterns etc. to locate the problems.
To abolish the problems
which have been detected, its background should be thoroughly assessed.
Understanding the crux of the problem is as crucial as review of possible
causes and to ponder upon positive and possible solutions for the problem.
In this research, the
writer identifies problems, they are :
1.2.1. Is there the
effect of students’ interest and the habit of watching English
films to the Students’ vocabulary
mastery at SMKN in Pasarkemis
Tangerang?
1.2.2. Is there the
effect of students interest of English to the students’
Vocabulary mastery at SMKN in Pasarkemis Tangerang ?
1.2.3. Is there the
effect of the habit of watching English films to the students’
vocabulary Mastery at SMKN in Pasrakemis Tangerang ?
1.3 LIMITATION OF THE PROBLEM
The limitations of the
study are those characteristics of design or methodology that set parameters on
the application or interpretation of the results of the study; that is, the
constraints on generalizability and utility of findings that are the result of
the devices of design or method that establish internal and external
validity. The most obvious limitation would relate to the ability to draw
descriptive or inferential conclusions from sample data about a larger group.
The
limitation of the problem, which is discussed in this thesis is “the effect of
the students’ interest in English and the habit of watching English film to the
vocabulary mastery at SMKN in Pasarkemis Tangerang”.
1.4 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The first step in the
research process is to choose a problem to investigate. The researcher begins
with a general topic and then narrows it to a specific problem statement, which
is a detailed description of the problem and its importance.
A problem statement describes
the research problem and identifies potential causes or solutions. A problem statement also
conveys the reason the problem is important and who is affected by the
problem.
There are two general types of
problem statements: quantitative and qualitative. The problem statement in a
quantitative research study names the variables and population to be studied,
and asks a question about the relationship between the variables. A qualitatif study, on the other hand, also begins with a
problem statement, but it is statedmuch more broadly than in a quantitative study. In other
words, it states the general purpose of the study, but the focus may change as
the study progresses.
According to
"Introduction to Research in Education," a good research problem
problem has five basic characteristics. The problem must be significant enough to
contribute to the existing body of
research; the problem must be one that will lead to more research; it must be
possible to investigate the problem through the collection of data; the problem
must be interesting to the researcher and suit his skills, time and resources
and the problem is ethical and will not harm others.
Based
on the explenation above, thw writer can conclude that a thesis needs statement
of the problem. So the writer does put forward the problem formulated as follow
: is there the effect of students’ interest in English and the habit of
watching English films to the student’ vocabulary mastery ?
1.5 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objectives of a research project
summarize what is to be achieved by the study. These objectives should be
closely related to the research problem.
The general objective of a study
states what researchers expect to achieve by the study in general terms. It is
possible (and advisable) to break down a general objective into smaller,
logically connected parts. These are normally referred to as specific
objectives. Specific objectives should systematically address the various
research questions. They should specify what you will do in your study, where
and for what purpose.
From the viewpoint of
objectives, a research can be classified as
- descriptive
- correlational
- explanatory
- exploratory
Descriptive research attempts
to describe systematically a situation, problem, phenomenon, service or
programme, or provides information about , say, living condition of a
community, or describes attitudes towards an issue.
Correlational research attempts
to discover or establish the existence of a relationship/ interdependence
between two or more aspects of a situation
Explanatory research attempts
to clarify why and how there is a relationship between two or more aspects of a situation or
phenomenon.
Exploratory research is
undertaken to explore an area where little is known or to investigate the possibilities of undertaking
a particular research study.
And
the writer write The objective of the study is, to know :
1.5.1
The effect of the students’ interest in
English and the habit of watcing English films to the vocabulary mastery at SMKN
in Pasarkemis Tangerang.
1.5.2
The effect of the students’ interest in
English to the students’ vocabulary mastery at SMKN in Pasarkemis Tangerang.
1.5.3
The effect of the habit of watching
english films to the students’ vocabulary mastery at SMKN in Pasarkemis
Tangerang.
1.6 HYPHOTHESIS OF THE RESEARCH
A hypothesis is a logical
supposition, a reasonable guess, an educated conjecture. It provides a
tentative explanation for a phenomenon under investigation.
A hypothesis is important
because it guides the research. An investigator may refer to the hypothesis to
direct his or her thought process toward the solution of the research problem
or subproblems. The hypothesis helps an investigator to collect the right kinds
of data needed for the investigation. Hypotheses are also important because
they help an investigator to locate information needed to resolve the research
problem or subproblems.
The
hypothesis is generated via a number of means, but is usually the result of a process of inductive
reasoning where observations lead to the formation
of theory.Scientists then use a large
battery of deductive
methods to arrive at a hyphothesis that is testable, falsifiable and
realistic.
The research
hypothesis is a paring down of the problem into something testable and falsifiable. In the
aforementioned example, a researcher might speculate that the decline in the fish stocks is due to
prolonged over fishing. Scientists must generate realistic and testable
hypothesis around which they can build theexperiment.
A
hypothesis must be testable,
taking into account current knowledge and techniques, and be realistic. If the
researcher does not have a multi-million dollar budget then there is no point
in generating complicated hypotheses. A hypothesis must be verifiable by statistical and
analytical means, to allow a verification or falsification
In fact, a
hypothesis is never proved, and it is better practice to use the terms
‘supported’ or ‘verified’. This means that the research showed that the
evidence supported the hypothesis and
further research is built upon that.
A research hypothesis,
which stands the test of time, eventually becomes a theory, such as Einstein’s General
Relativity. Even then, as with Newton’s Laws,
they can still be falsified or adapted.
And The hyphothesis of the research are :
1.6.1
There is the effect of the students’s
interest in English and the habit of watching English films to the vocabulary
mastery at SMK in Pasarkemis Tangerang.
1.6.2
There is the effect of the students’
interest in English to the students’ vocabulary mastery at SMK in Pasarkemis
Tangerang.
1.6.3
There is the effect of the habit of
watching English films to the students’ vocabulary mastery at SMK in Pasarkemis
Tangerang.
1.7 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
To determine the significance
of the study in thesis, we must first consider what a thesis actually is; A
thesis is defined in this case as a dissertation on a particular subject in
which original research has been done, presented by a candidate for a diploma
or degree &/or a proposition stated for consideration, particularly one to
be discussed and proved or maintained against opposing views. The
significance of your study in your thesis is whatever you have deemed it to be.
You decide the significance of your study and the better you can articulate
this, the stronger your thesis will be.
You have been assigned a
thesis study as a graduation requirement and know exactly what you want to do
with it and why, you are far beyond the average student and already fully
understand the significance of your study and how you will present it.
Others of us have to mull it over a few thousand times before we can decide a
direction to take with it. Say your field of study is in IT management
and you are writing a thesis on virtual and cloud computing as compared to
individual physical machines and infrastructure. You could make the
argument that the versatility, ease of use, time benefits, overhead cost reduction
and 24 hour availability of these cloud systems built with virtual platforms on
a reduced amount of servers provide a more robust and scalable backbone for any
business regardless of industry. The significance of this would be the
cost reduction, the scalability; all of these emphasize the significance of
your thesis.
Ultimately, these decisions
will be made between you and your thesis adviser. Choosing a thesis study that
you are passionate about and are excited to research will make the work of
putting an exceptional paper together seem effortless.
the writer hope that the
result of the study will be useful for English teachers and their students. So,
it will hopefully be a positive contribution to the teaching of English in
Indonesia. And the significances ao the study are :
1.7.1
For
Teachers ;
The result of the study will enrich
the teacher’s technique in teaching. English Teacher can choose it as a media
in guiding the students in mastering the vocabulary. And it gives an
alternative technique in the teaching learning process.

The result of the study will give
valuable contribution to improve their vocabulary mastery. It is expected that
habit of watching English films can help them to imptove their vocabulary
mastery. And of coure, with mastering the vocabulary they will more easy to
understand about English subject in their school.
CHAPTER

THEORETICAL
FRAMEWORK
2.1 INTEREST IN ENGLISH
2.1.1
Definition of interest
Many people fail to
understand the true meaning of the term interest meaning of interest, is of
many kinds, which scientists give different definitions about it. Interest are
sources hof motivations which to do when they are free to choose we will do.
Interest
is a condition which accompanies intelectual’s consideration of something or
ideas or participation in some activities.
From the definition above,
it shows that interest is something which drivers the person to participate in
some activities. Interest clearly has an important role in activities such as
playing,, working, learning, and so on.
Interest is the factor which
determines one’s attitude in working or
studying activity. The stronger ha or she has, the harder he or she wants to
learn. N.L, and David C Barliner said:
students with an interest in
a subject tend to pay attention to it, feel in makes a difference to them: they want
to become fully aware of its character. They enjoy dealing with it either for
what is can lead to or for its own sake. Their attention level is high; their
work output is sustained....
the
students will study regularly or effectively and they will get success well if
they have a high interest. David R. Stone and Elwin C Nielson, “....on personal
positive interest ..... will increase the chance for success.”
In teaching, a teacher not
only transfer knowledge to the students but also increases their interest in
learning in order to they will learn harder by some ways as follows:
1. Membangkitkan
adanya suatu kebutuhan (arousing need)
2. Menghubungkan
adanya persoalan yang lampau ( connecting with the last matter )
3. Memberikan
kesempatan untuk mendapatkan hasil yang baik (giving a chance to get a result
well)
4. Menggunakan
berbagai macam bentuk mengajar (using various teaching methods)
The success of
student in learning is very much influenced by two factors; They are internal
factors and external factors. Internal factors are factors that appear from the
learner’s inner side, and “interest” is one of them. While external factors are
factors that come from learner’s outside such at school, environment, and
community. To get aimed result, “interst” has an important role in teaching learning
activities. Besides there are other factors supporting the success of this teaching – learning
process, they are talent and ability. Kurt singer said that interest is the
most reliable base to the success of learning if a learner possesses a willing to learn he/she
will understand and remember something easily.
A lesson would be more interesting for
learners if the materials seem having some relation with their real life.
Zakiyah Darajat said that the first principle in the teaching is to grow the
students interst and it will bring and stimulate them to enjoy the lesson.
In the oxford dictionary interest
is mean as desire to learn or to know
about somebody or something.
The “kamus
Besar Bahasa Indonesia” describes that interest is the tendency toward something, spirit and willing. Torndike in a
book that written by Wayan Nurkanca describes that the interest is an
individual aspect that connecting with
tendency to look for and participate in certain activities.
Seen that interest is something
which drives person to participate in
some activities. Interest can motivate students to enjoy the lesson. It is important for someone to carry out activities
to its best way, it learn of mental
condition. Interest give someone to pay attention and makes him or herself to
be part in the activities. A child’s part experience interferes whether he/she
is going to be interested in something or not.
Interest
is the study of the "catalyst", its students have a magical effect
within the drive can become invalid for the effective, efficient technology is inefficient. Conversely, if there is
no interest in learning English has become a fairy tale. Real learning needs is
an obsessive emotions, the process of teaching is learning to share the fun and
passion. An English class success often depends on the classroom the atmosphere
is active. Ushinski Russian educator said, "there is no interest and
forced to learn, it will stifle the will of students to acquire knowledge.
shows interest in the importance of strong interest to develop students intellectual
curiosity, stimulate students a strong motivation for learning, encourage them
to hard work, study hard. at all times and all the great achievements of
people, both are the occupations of their own produce a strong, strong
interest.
Foster interest in the importance of students learning English The current status of secondary school students learning English To secondary school English teaching, for example, according to the survey, with the higher grade, the students interest in learning English levels. Led to the loss of interest in some students lose motivation to continue learning English, resulting in the tendency of weariness, making the poles the growing phenomenon of differentiation be seen, in English teaching, in order to enable students to learn actively and to achieve good learning results, students interested in critical, or even learningEnglish is a prerequisite and guarantee.

2.1.2. The Role of Interesest
One language, guru once said: not the language courses as a knowledge
lesson, learning a language is not primarily to learn the knowledge, but to
learn and master the use of such language skills and habits. Must pay attention
to students interested in English learning and study habits The training, which
teaches students a far more important than knowledge, the famous psychologist
Bruner said, "learning is the best stimulus is the interest of the
textbook." learning, the interest will a direct impact on learning.
interested in learning success factors affecting accounting for 25%, accounting
for factors affecting 35% of school failure, showing interest in the success or
failure of the importance of learning, so we have to find ways, better each
lesson, so that repeated practice becomes tedious lively and fun. new teaching materials close to the student life, and linked
to information technology in today's world, in the teaching
process, should fully tap its interest, to arouse emotional response, to
stimulate students interest in so-called " teaching is to not teach,
"" Give a man a fish, "say is the truth. interested in
everything we do is the best power source also remember when we first learn to
ride a bike, learning to swim, learning to use computers access the Internet
momentum it? curious and interested in learning the things that we, we always
work tirelessly to explore, even in the learning process encountered
difficulties, such as when you started riding a bicycle may fall, but we can
easily overcome so that the interest is not only a source of our motivation to
learn, it is more in the learning process enables us, firm confidence and
determination to overcome difficulties. develop students interest in learning
English method.Teachers teaching art a direct impact on students' interest in
learning A well-known foreign language educator once said: "The role of
emotions in foreign
language learning and cognitive
skills at least as important, even more important." English teaching is
not only a cognitive process, but also a process of emotional events here
mentioned The first emotion I am teaching from the teacher's own interest. teaching practice that students motivation to learn a foreign language is the most direct source of foreign language teachers, the emotional power as well
as their attitude. the attitude of teachers directly impact student interest in learning, impact on student learning
motivation and will to overcome difficulties and affect the efficiency of
students' cognitive activity. A teacher interested in teaching, because
teaching well and leaving the teaching lively and interesting, so that some had
no interest in learning for students interest, on the contrary, no side
teaching, scripted, then make some of the original students who are interested
in learning but are insipid, uninteresting, and less interested.
Secondary school students are younger, naive psychology, the teacher's impression of a direct impact on the interest in learning English. Otherwise, when scanning the classroom teacher the whole class so that students did not feel "forgotten corner." Teachers face is the feeling of "barometer" has rich connotations. Psychologists believe that: = seven percent expressed feelings words + thirty-eight% voice + fifty-five% facial expressions. In addition, teachers are indispensable, even the most important quality is to love students, usually pay attention to more contact with students, take the initiative to talk with students, make friends and help them build confidence in learning, I believe, good quality and personality of teachers to promote the teaching of communication with the tacit understanding.
Classroom learning to create a collective sense of security Students in the mood of fear, not for creative thinking. For the lifting of student confusion, tension and fear of negative errors and other adverse psychological factors of learning, first of all I take full advantage of the collective in the classroom, group, organization of language practice activities in the same table, and create one kind of an atmosphere of mutual support, so that students have to learn a sense ofsecurity.
Pronunciation of difficult words and reading through collective repeat it, so that poor students have the opportunity to self-correct if a student designated to speak immediately, under normal circumstances students will be very very tight, resulting in insecurity, so the variety of collective forms of classroom activities students can best create a sense of security. In addition, when students make mistakes, teachers should encourage a positive, rather than in error correction, because the students are trying to verbal drills, guilty of point error is inevitable. for these students, just started learning English, need more encouragement and appreciation. appropriate pertinent words of the students have a positive hints, can stimulate students to correct errors, and establish the courage and confidence to forge ahead to develop their potential. and direct blunt words of the students there are negative hints. regardless of the nature, see the error on the correction, the students will cause psychological stress, tension and enhance their sense of fear of mistakes and lose confidence, resulting in low self-esteem, psychological cowardice, so In class, teachers should not hesitate to praise and encourage their own, to meet students' psychological needs.
Develop self-confidence in learning English Students are most interested in obtaining good results. Good grades when they confident, otherwise dejected, so teachers should make full use of the psychological characteristics, in teaching the students proper assessment of the results slightly worse for students to use more encourage means to spur them to study hard to catch up, to praise for good scores, so that they redouble their efforts, the students of poor academic performance, try to find their strengths and to be commended. So that all students feel that English is not difficult to learn, as long as their efforts can achieve good results. Process in class, students know how to discover and seize every advantage and a small progress, even if it is a good sentence, a term used right, should be given prompt Good, Very good, Good job and other languages for recognition, encouraged to continue to develop as long as with the positive side, the conduct of praise and encouragement, so that the students will stick to the advantages and disadvantages will be less and less, to enable students to enhance self-confidence, self-esteem when teachers use praise, words of encouragement the answer to their students, their enthusiasm will improve when students, particularly poor students, answer questions be commended, they will excited, the whole class will head up, stare at the teacher, concentrating on serious lectures these praise, words of encouragement to students is nothing more than self-confidence, and only students from the self-confidence to start learning English, students learning English in order to find a breakthrough in the prevailing circumstances, to cultivate students' interest in learning English.

At all ages, interest on
important role in a person’s life and have a great inpact on the behavior and
attitudes. In learning, has a great contribution of success in learning
process.
A child is not born with interest
in English, because interest changes as long as physical an mental changes are
taking places for the most part interest develops because of experience, which
begin in early childhood, moreover, the important role of interest in a whole
life is to :
a.
Provide a strong motivation to learn
b.
Influence the form and intensity of
children aspiration
c.
Add enjoyment to cry activity the
individual enganges in
d.
Lead the people to achievment.
In class a teacher has
important roles in raising the learning interest. A teacher will find it
difficult to raise learner’s interest and attention if the learners do not like
the teacher.
The success of student in
learning English is very influenced by two factors; they are Internal
factors and external factors. Internal
factors are factors that appear from the learners inner side and “interest” is
one of them, while external factors are factors that come from learners out
side, such as shcool, environment role in teaching learning activities, basides
there are other factors supporting the success of this teaching-learning
process most reliable base to the success of learning if a learning process a
willing to learn he or she will understand and remember something easily.
2.1.3
Aspect
of Interest
Interest are personal,
they are influenced by the behavior of athers and by existing condition of
situation. My opinion of interest is “they are aroused early in life and are
affected by the individual’s physical condition, his mental and status, and the
social environment in which he hes reread. individual interest changes with
experience, because individual is not both with ready-made interst. He gets
interest from hisown learning experience in his life. All interest has two
aspect, the cognitive and affective.
2.1.3.1 Cognitive Aspect
The cognitive aspect is
based on concept that children develop
in the areas related to the interest. The cognitive aspect of interest pushes
will not only persist but also grow stronger as benefit and satisfaction become
evident. The revirie will be true if there is little or no evidence of personal
benefits or satisfactions.
Concept makes up cognitive
aspect of the interest is based on personal experiences and what is learn at
home, at school, in the community and from different forms of media. From those
sources people learns what will satisfy their need and what will not. The
former will develop into interest and the later will not.
2.1.3.2 Affective Aspect
The affective aspect is the
concept the makes up the cognitive aspect of interest which are expressed in
attitudes toward the activities give rise to.18 like the cognitive
aspect, the affective aspect is develop from personal experiences, from
attitudes of significant people parents, teachers, peers and other people
toward the activities related to his interest and from the attitude expressed
or implied in different forms of mass media toward the some motivates.
Both aspect, the cognitive
and affective, have an important rules in determining what people will or will
not do, and what types of personal and social adjushments they will make. But
the affective aspect has a great important role in motivations action than the
cognitive and tends to be more resistant to change than the cognitive aspect.
2.2
THE
IMPORTANCE OF MOTIVATION
A teacher as a motivator
and facilitator in school should be able to create the best teaching learning
condition aat all times. A good teaching learning condition will produce
success to in goal at the planned objectives.
Motivation has a significant role in
teaching learning process. The students who have a high motivation in learning
will get better opportunity to success in their activities than those who have
less motivation.
Express have given various
definitions of motivation. Motivation is a rather abstract concept that is not easy to define. It is internal to the
person and it can not be abserved. motivation is some kind of
internal drive that encourage somebody to persue a courseof action. Mackey said in his book that motivation
determines how much a person will learn and when he will learn. This depend on what he want to know it, how
he thinks he can learn it and on what he believes to be his advantage. It
depends on the needs, interest and tense of values of an individual, it is the
justification in large age teaching method and techniques of the efforts
expended to make the learner wants to learn the second language.
From the definition
above the writer get a conclusion that motivation is a complete problem because
it is an abstract concept and it will cause a chhange in human body, in
teaching learning process giving a motivation to the students is a meant to
support them to learn. It can change or influence their learning activities, it
is caused by need, interest and purpose.
Motivation appears in live
with the appearance of needs. When there is a need there will be action to
fulfil the need. In another words, motivation and interest appear after someone
knows about his needs. Maslow divided there needs into five, they are:
1. Psychology
need : food, drink, sex and shelter
2. Safety
need : security, order and
protection
3. Love
need :
affection and personal acceptance
4. Esteem
need : self-respect, reputation, achievement
of personal goals, ambition and talent.

THE
HABIT OF WATCHING ENGLISH FILMS
2.3.1.
Description
of film
In 1887 THOMAS Alva Edison
(1847-1931) created a mechanical device for recording and producing image. But
he did not find good material to produce image. Until George Eastman who of
fered celluoid tape, the problem had solved.
Edison named it kinescope. In New
York 1984, kinescope first perform held. Less than a minute, kinescope performs
pragments of boxing match and entertaiment sketch. At that time, kinescope
performance became popular in United States and Europed country.
Lumiere Brothers was one of
attract people by kinescope performance. They tried to create their own film
for kinescope. In fact, that created an instrument that combined camera,
processing film device and projector
into one, it called cinema tograph.
In December 1895, lumiere
Brothers projected their own film on public. First movie theater was born. On the late of 1920 a film with
sound created. Then color film published in 1930. Film mechanical denice also
had progress from time to time. Until now film is the most attractive
entertaiment for people.
2.3.2.
The
Meaning of Film
Film is full of messages.
Film is also one of important media for human. In modern era, people depend on
media. It becomes part of human’s life. Film is one of media to give messages
to another.
Film is acetate-based,
emulsion coated strip with perforations on the edges, used to make photographic
images when exposed to light in a camera or projected through a projector.
Film
is a story recorded as set of moving pictures to be shown on television or at
the cinema.; In a film, every moves frame by frame in front of the lens and
screen. Those picture also alternate at once and givea continue visualization,
there is no slit between one picture and another, and the picture move quickly
in the screen that produce medley pictures presenting a segent event, story and
thing a like the real life.
Film can be considered as
one of Audio-Visual aids in teaching learning process, though it is not
directly shown in the classroom. It can improve student’s conversation, and add
some vocabularies and comprehension about English culture. In film, student see
and hear recorded experiences. Fiction, shadow, drama and episode about the
past as well. It shows the real pictures that
are a combination of gestures, words, music and colors. Film does not
only gave facts, it also helps students understand themselves and their
environment that will support their daily life in society.
Structural/
Materialist film attempts to be non-illusionist. The process of the film's
making deals with devices that result in demystification or attempted
demystification of the film process. But by 'deals with' I do not mean 'represents'.
In other words, such films do not document various film procedures, which would
place them in the same category as films which transparently document a
narrative, a set of actions, etc. Documentation, through usage of the film
medium as transparent, invisible, is exactly the same when the object being
documented is some 'real event', some film procedure', some 'story', etc. An
avant-garde film defined by its development towards increased materialism and
materialist function does not represent, or document, anything. The film
produces certain relations between segments, between what the camera is aimed
at and the way that 'image' is presented. The dialectic of the film is
established in that space of tension between materialist flatness, grain, light,
movement, and the supposed reality that is represented. Consequently a
continual attempt to destroy the illusion is necessary. In Structural/
Materialist film, the in/film (not in/frame) and film/viewer material
relations, and the relations of the film's structure, are primary to any
representational content. The structuring aspects and the attempt to decipher
the structure and anticipate/ recorrect it, to clarify and analyse the
production-process of the specific image at any specific moment, are the root
concern of Structural/ Materialist film. The specific construct of each
specific film is not the relevant point; one must beware not to let the
construct, the shape, take the place of the 'story' in narrative film. Then one
would merely be substituting one hierarchy for another within the same system,
a formalism for what is traditionally called content. This is an absolutely
crucial point.'
2.3.3.
The
Kind of Film
There are many kinds of
film. The writer wants to classify film generally. There are :
2.3.3.1.Commercial
film
Mainstream
films
can best be defined as commercial films that are made by major entertainment
studios or companies that are owned by international media conglomerates.
Because of better financing, these films can afford more expensive actors, wide
releases or limited
releases, and are sold at popular retail stores. This has
become known as the studio system. Films made by major studios or companies
that are not owned by a media conglomerate but are distributed by a company
owned by a media conglomerate (see Lucasfilm)
are also considered to be mainstream and are often referred to as mainstream independent
films. Companies that are completely independent, such as
Lionsgate,
also produce mainstream films, from a cultural standpoint, but independent of
the studio system. The alternative to mainstream films are sub genre films that
appeal to a certain audience, such as African American films. Low
budget films, art
films, and experimental
films are often the starting point for entertainers who
wish to enter into the mainstream circuit or a sub genre circuit. Mainstream
films are targeted for all cultures and audiences, with the dominating culture
and audience being the primary marketing focus, while sub genre films are
maketed towards only one specific culture and audience. Mainstream films often
recruit talent from all film genres and backgrounds.
Commercial film is a film that
uses a lighting system, full of ballyhoo in front of movie theater.3 the
example Harry Potter, Lrd of the Ring, Matrix, the Scorpion King, Spidermen,
and Men in Black.
2.3.3.2. Documentary Film
Documentary film, in the
words of Bill Nichols, is one of the discourses of sobriety that include science,
economics, politics, and history discourses that claim to describe the real, to
tell the truth. Yet documentary film, in more obvious ways than does history,
straddles the categories of fact and fiction, art and document, entertainment
and knowledge. And the visual languages with which it operates have quite
different effects than does the written text.
The documentary films that
I most respect don't come to closure and don't produce audiences of
compassionate spectators of the dilemmas of others. They don't produce
identification with heroics or sympathy for victims, both of which are dominant
strains in the American documentary tradition. The welfare mother, the native
American, and the family with the Downs syndrome child - these are the typical
subjects of films that produce caring audiences, audiences who feel they're
somehow part of the solution, because they've watched and cared. The filmmakers
I admire, who might approach those same subjects, would be doing so in order to
deconstruct the subject, to take apart that exact relationship with the
audience. They would have a much more complex set of intentions and would
resist closure.
Documentary film is a film
that illustrating real life, life of someone, a period an history, a way of
human life. Generally, base on reality and accurancy.4 example, Wild
American, Discovery Dead Birds, Blackbarry wine, and Haiti Untitle.
2.3.3.3.Experimental
film
Today the term "experimental cinema" prevails, because
it’s
possible to make
experimental films without the presence of any avant-
garde movement in the
cultural field.
While "experimental" covers a wide range of practice, an
experimental film is
often characterized by the absence of linear narrative,
the use of various
abstracting techniques -- out-of-focus, painting or
scratching on film,
rapid editing -- the use of asynchronous (non-diegetic)
sound or even the
absence of any sound track. The goal is often to place
the viewer in a more
active and more thoughtful relationship to the film.
At
least through the 1960s, and to some extent after, many
experimental films took an oppositional stance
toward
mainstream culture.
Most such films are made on very low budgets,
self-financed or
financed through small grants, with a minimal
crew or, often a crew of
only one person,
the filmmaker. Some critics have argued that much
experemental
film is no longer in fact "experimental" but has in fact
as a non- narrative,
impressionistic,
or poetic approaches to the film's
construction -define
what is generally understood to be "experimental".
Experimental film is a
film, which has only one goal that is “art”. Art is a concept of this film. Classic
or conventional rules being ignore and experimental film has unlimited
duration.5 example, Diagonal Symphanie, Empire, First Fight and
Mashes of the afternoon.
2.3.3.4.
Animation film
Animated Films are ones in which individual
drawings, paintings, or illustrations
are photographed frame by frame (stop-frame
cinematography). Usually, each frame differs slightly from the one preceding it, giving the illusion of
movement when frames are projected in
rapid succession at 24 frames per second. The earliest cinema animation was composed of frame-by-frame, hand-drawn
images. When combined with movement, the illustrator's two-dimensional static
art came alive and created pure andimaginative cinematic images - animals and
other inanimate objects could become
evil villains or heroes.
Animations are not a strictly-defined genre category,
but rather a film technique, although they often
contain genre-like
elements. Animation,
fairy tales, and stop-motion films often
appeal to children,
but it would marginalize animations to
view
them only as
"children's entertainment." Animated films are often
directed to, or
appeal most to children, but
easily can be enjoyed
by all. See section
on children family film.
Animation film is a specialized
branc of film making whereby drawings or three-dimensional object are
photographed frame by frame. So that when they are projected at a normal speed
the illusion of movement is created sometimes ( in art films ), drawung or
painting is done directly on the film. Example, The Lion King Toy Story,
Aladdin, Pokemon and Tarzan.
2.3.4.
The
Criteria of Film Use to Learn Vocabulary
Film can also be considered
as one of the aids in learning English even though it is bot directly shown in
the classroom. Since it can be considered as one of the aids, now what can be
derivered from this visual aid ?
Many researchers have
found the criteria of film used to learn vocabulary. Some of them are :
2.3.4.1.The
film should stimulate a high degree of students interest.
2.3.4.2.
The film should provide a concrete basis for the dwvelopment of understanding
vocabulary
2.3.4.3.The
film provides experiences not easily secured in other ways hence contribute to
the depth and according to Peter J. Vernon in his symposium, can film be a
valuable stimulus to learning.6
2.3.5.
The
Advantages of Film
In this research the writer
will explain about the advantages of film, as follow : film provides the
cultures information more that other media. Film provides a lot of experiences
that can stimulate students’ motivation. Brings the students from a country to
another. Film show the past events in a short time. Every students, not only
the smarts students, can learn from film. Film can be repeated if it is
necessary to make it clearer.
How can watching
English film
programs help people
learn English? films are an excellent way to get a view into
the
ideas, myths and values of the culture.
Learning English by watching films in the language can be
a fun and enjoyable way to
help learn the language.
There are many benefits that can be achieved trough watching
movies or watching
English films.
The first, watching is something enjoyable,
moreover if we
understand about it. By watching, people can know the current
things. English movies are developing
very much nowadays and
know in Indonesia because of the effect of globalization era on
information sector.
The second, watching English films is
very good for
Englishstudents, not
only as something enjoyable but also as
motivation to learn English.
Finally, the students can also learn a lot of things from
watching English Films, such as pronunciation,vocabulary, style,
intonation even western culture
habit, ect.
2.3.6.
Using
Film to Teach English
We
should encourage the students to see as many films as possible outside the
classroom or parts of films in the classroom. Watching films is very important
as it increases their visual and critical awareness. Watching films in the
classroom can be realized through recording them. We have tried to make the
activity of film-watching an active rather than a passive one. This can be done
in a variety ways as setting questions about the film, promoting discussions in
small groups, asking the students to comment on various things, inviting
criticism, etc. We may also stop the film from time to time and ask the
students what has happened so far or guess what might happen next. Another way
might be turning the sound down and asking the students to imagine or make up
dialogues. Anyway it is difficult to use films in the classroom. Sometimes they
are difficult to understand but Western Films for example are easy to
understand because there is a lot of action in them. Some other films are easy
to understand because there is a clear conventional story line, as love
stories, epics and science-fiction drama which have simple plots. Of great
importance are the subtitles and dubbing which might be in English. They help a
lot the aim of helping learning English through films, depending on the
procedure the teachers decide to follow. Sometimes the teachers recommend students
to see a film dubbed into or subtitled in Albanian, if possible, before seeing
it in English. It would be great to find English films with English subtitles.
They make understanding the language easier as listening to authentic language
is more difficult than seeing the expressions written, thus matching the words
with pictures and voice. Jane Shermon says,
“The eye is more powerful than the ear”. ( Jane Sherman, 2003) In this case the students are offered both
reading and listening. Judging from our experience usually students prefer more
reading than listening, with few exceptions. While using a film in the
classroom to help our English we have paid attention to the accent, voice, body
language, choosing of the words, training ear and the eye, lifestyle, plot
idea, summary, what’s going on, why and how, and many other things depending on
the aim we have put to ourselves. The overall aim has always been to maximize
comprehension and learn more English. But we all know that watching a full
feature film needs more time than teaching hours. So, we need to be able to fit
films into a classroom schedule organizing different activities that help this
aim. In order to save time we might tell the story of the film ourselves, illustrating
it by showing three or four key scenes without telling the end. Another way is
the use of video-cassette. The students may watch the film themselves in the
video-classroom or at home and come the next day and present what they watched
and what happened in the film.
Another
way of using the films to teach English is that of comparing the film with the
book if the same story appears in both ways. This kind of activity can be done
before or after watching the film, it can be used to adopt or compare
characters, to compare differences and similarities.
Diagram,
between the book and the film, the examples might be enumerous. The book may be
used to supplement and clarify the film, but at the same time the film may be
used to illuminate the book. All these could be done through several
activities. We may also give assignments to our students, write about your
favorite film, your favorite characters, your favorite actors, what makes them
your ‘favorites’, the differences you see if a book has been made into a film,
etc. When a preliminary work is done before watching the film the above
activities may produce interesting writing activities. These kinds of
activities also contribute to the promotion of critical thinking especially in
evaluating films and improving language skills. Other ways of using films in
the classroom are: Segmenting the film, pre-watching, while-watching and
post-watching activities, which are very useful as cloze exercises, quizzes,
related readings, web sites,film presentations, discussions, research work,
etc. Of course, there are not ready made recipes to be followed. Teachers
should be creative and decide themselves for the procedures that they feel that
have worked well.
Watching a film in real
life is usually fun and relaxing. We the teachers should try to create a
similar atmosphere in the classroom so that both the teacher and the students
enjoy the film and the tasks along with it. Not all what we have prepared might
be successful, but we should not give up. We have to evaluate what went wrong
and try to improve it in the second attempt. After all, practice makes perfect.
2.3.7.
Film
as a teaching media
Before
the writer explain about the film as teaching media. The writer will discuss
about definition of media and the funcyion of media in teaching learning
process.
Media is a tool that can use as a teacher to sent messages to
students in order to can stimulate their mind, their sense and their motivation
to do learning process.
Media can use to lost
students’ bored. And if students like the media, they will understand and
remind the lesson with good. There are some advantages, if we use media in
teaching learning process, they the are : give motivation to students. Lost
students’ bored. Make the teaching learning process more sistematic. Make
students more easy to understand in learning process.
Media Education is
importantbecause it develops
students’creative powers
for those images, words and sounds that
come to the students from
various Media. Thus, creating more active
and critical media users,
who will always be more demanding in the
future. their impact on the
students’ progress. It has to do with what t
teach through media, when
and how. Its aim is to enable students to
develop critical thinking,
analyzing and reflecting on their experiences
while using various means
of Media.
Media Influence is Pervasive and Persuasive. Media
today have an enormous
impact. They have become so important
that it is rarely that we can live without them. Every morning we
may wake up with the radio
music in the background, or we play a
tape while having shower or
being dressed. Someone may run to the
PC or laptop to check the
mail or the news. On the way to
school
or work we may
grab a newspaper and have
a look at headlines.
At school we may go to the
library and consult a lot of books and
magazines for our research project. At home we
may watch television
for a while, etc, etc.
In
the years to come, media will become more
pervasive.
Understanding them and their influence will be crucial to
wise
use.So, as said above, everyday, everyone is affected by the
Mass
Media in some way or another, when you study a textbook for
school,
when you turn on the radio in your car, when you see amovie
on TV,etc.
The collective effects on society of all these media choice
are tremendous;
some times we are not aware of.
Despite the criticism of the mass media, most
thoughtful
persons
agree that mass media do a superior job in reporting the
news
and informing the public. It’s our task as teachers to help
students
and pupils understand thisinformation transmit it to the
coming
generations and try to use it for education purposes.
Media keep us informed about what is happening in
the
world, they extend our knowledge and deepen our understand-
ing.Nowadays the information is
abundant, it comes through
different
sources, but we should try how tobenefit from this
information,
how to learn about specific issues, how to become
aware
of problems,opportunities and resources, how to find issues
we are
interested in, how to identify the issues thathave impact on
us,
etc. So, it is easy to get this information but it is difficult to
choose
and more difficul to bring it to the classroom.
Beside the advantages,
media have three function, they are : to develop and keep student’ interest. To
stimulate students’ mind to think. To get high comprehension degree with
efficient in students’ learning.
Film can use as a tool in
teaching learning process, or we know it with film as a teaching media. As we
see from the explanation above, film ahve adventages and three function. Based
on it Indonesia and other countries has been declare the roles of film deparment.
The role of film department is a part of integral from construction roles as a
commonly. Philisophy about film is the same with country philosophy. TAP MPRS
No. 11 1960. Said that “film bukan semata-mata barang dagangan melainkan alat
pendidikan dan penerangan”.
2.3.8.
The
Meaning of Habit
The meaning underlying
habit is a fundamental or basic process of biological systems and does not
require conscious motivation or awareness to occur. Indeed without habit we
would be unable to distinguish meaningful information from the backgrround.
Unchanging information.
Habit is stimulus specific.
It does not cause a general decline in responsiveness. It function like an
average weighted history wavelet interfence filter reducing the responsiveness
of the organism to a particular stimulus. Frequently one can see opponent
processes after the stimulus is removed. Habit is connected to associational
reciproacal in hibition phenomena, opponent processes, motion aftereffect,
color constancy, size constancy, and negative afterimages.
Habit seems to be a nasty
word, at least for most of us. By and large, we are creatures of habit and, by
and large, we live fives of habit. Each of us has a set of routines or habits
for doing things that we have to do each day. Routines that we do everyday play
an important part in our lives. Routines or habits enable us to do things
without having to think too much about them. It is a behavior that we usually
do in our everyday
life.
It consists of two parts, good habits and bad
habits. Both habits have only one habit, which is clean
and dirty
habits. Do you know why we get those habits? It is because
we feel comfortable and it doesn't bother you from doing it. Most people do it
when they feel
uncomfortable.
There are two habit that the writer will explain. The first one is good
habits. Do you have any ideas what good habits are? In my opinion, good habits
are the behaviors, which are linked to our everyday
life.
There are a lot of good habits such as smiling always, greeting teachers,
helping, wake up early. The second is bad habit. For example, Don't you know
that smoking can shorten our lives by 5 minutes for one stick of cigarettes
Talking about smoking, drinking also the same as smoking. For instance, being
rude, uncourteous and the worst of all is bullying people. People dig their
nose when they feel
uncomfortable. Mostly, rude people do not face you
when talking and they often talk loudly. up early, exercise and habits needed
to becoming a good student. Speaking of bad
habits, rm sure all of you have your own bad
habits. Changing habit is a difficult job, so we have to
think positive and try not to give up. Well, I think it stinks and makes their
breath smell horrible. Actually, it has the same meaning with bad habit but the
only difference is that clean
habit is the hygienic and pleasant thing that we always
do. Biting nails is a rare habit done by people. Some think that smoking can
relax their minds and some think it's cool. Digging nose, biting nails,
smoking, spitting, coughing with mouth open, sneezing without covering your
nose are some examples. So my advice for you all is, try getting rid of your
bad habit and create yourself new, good habits. Of course, we know that
everyone like people with these kinds of habits.
2.4.
Description
of Vocabulary
2.4.1.
The
Meaning of Vocabulary
Vocabulary is one of the
most abvious component of language and one of the first thing applied
linguistics turned their attention to vocabulary also plays on important role
in improving our skills in English. As we know, learning English is different
from learning other diciplines, in learning it we ought to practice it very
often and we cannot practice or build that language if we are lack of
vocabulary. As Marianne says that words are perceived as the building blacks
upon which knowledge of the second can
be build.7 it means that vocabulary can not be separated from the
language.
The importance of vocabulary
learning such as : without grammar very little can be conveyed. Without vocabulary
nothing can be conveyed.
Words are the basic unit of
language form. Without sufficient vocabulary, we cannot communication
effectively or express ideas. Having limited vocabulary is also a barrier that
prevents students from learning a foreign language.
In some literature, the
writer found the meaning of vocabulary. There are some definitions of
vocabulary. A.S. Hornoby in : axford expanced learner’s Dictionary of current
English” states that is : Total Number
of Words, which (with rules) for
combining them make up a language. (range of) words known to, or used by, a
person, in trade, professions, etc.
Another dictionary.
Webster’s New World Collage Dictionary, “define vocabulary as a list of words
and, often, phrases, abbreviations, inflectional forms, etc, usually arranged
in alphabetical order and defined or other wise identified, as in dictionary or
glossary”.
Vocabulary is a collection
of words arranged alphabetically for reference and defined the special stock of
employed by individual or by on author.
Vocabulary is
central to language and is of great significance
to language learners. Words are the
building blocks of a language since
they label objects, actions, ideas
without which people cannot convey the
intended meaning. The prominent of
vocabulary knowledge in second or
foreign language learning has been
recently recognized by theorists and
researchers in the field.
Based on the definition
above, the writer can conclude that vocabulary is a total number of words,
which can be defined and identified. It can not be separated from people in all
social level.
2.4.2.
The
Kinds of Vocabulary
Vocabularies as
receptive vocabulary and productive
vocabulary. ‘receptive’ vocabulary to mean language items which can only be
recognized and comprehend in the context on reading and listening materials,
and ‘productive’ vocabulary to be language items which the learner can recall
and use approporiately in speech and writing.
Vocabulary also classified
into topic specific or content – specific vocabulary. Topic – specific or
content – specific vocabulary is the words that appear frequently in a
particular text because they are related to the topic of the text. For example,
in a text of the topic of ice cream, the words flavor, texture. Con, topping
and corton might appear frequently. So, those words can we call as topic –
specific or content – specific vocabulary.
And, vocabularyis divided
into two namely ; function and content words. The function words are a closed
class, we can not add to the prepositions or auxiliaries or modals or any
structure words of the language. The content words, an the other hand, can be
added to at any times as new inventions necessary.
Caleb Gattegno also
classified vocabulary into two kinds. They are luxury vocabulary and semi –
luxury vocabulary. Semi luxury is the words we would need to get along with
natives in the business of day – to – day life, which include food, clothing,
travel, family life, outings and the like. While vocabulary is the words we
would need in philosoophical discusssions, political arguments and sources of
languages of professions and trades.11
2.4.3.
The
importance of vocabulary
a
good mastery of vacabulary helps the learners to expresstheir ideas
toprecisely.by having many stocksof words learners will be ableto comprehend
the reading materials catch athers talking, give respon, speak fluentlyand
write some kinds of topics. On the contraty, if the learnersdo not recognizethe
meaning of the words use by those who address them,the will be unable to
participatein conversation, unable to express some ideas,or unable to ask some
information.
Considering of the important
of vocabularyrole in learning foreign language. The mastery of this element
should be ensured and develop. Otherwise,the vocabulary mastery of the children
will be limited and sequenceof it is that they will find difficulties in learning the skill of the language.
Therefore, school have the tast to teach the vocabulary to their students.
Although a considerable
amount of the vocabulary, learning is assosiatedwith primary language learning
in early years. The acquisition of most the vocabulary charactheristic of an
educated adult accur during the years of schooling, and infects ane of the
primary task of the school as far as language learning in concerned, as to
teach the vocabulary.
2.4.4.
Vocabulary
Mastery
Commonly,
most of students get difficulty in learning and mastering English vocabulary.
This is because of several faktors, such as the number of vocabulary that the
students need to memorize is high and the second factor is the existing method
is not attractive an just burdening the students’ because it can not help the
students.
Vocabulary mastery is the
first step to the students to master the other English skill with higher
difficulty like grammar, speaking, and listening. If the students have good
vocabulary mastery, they can master the other English skill easily. So, the
students should be prepared well in order they can learn and master the other
English skill above.
Unfortunately, the method
which id used does not help the students to get good vocabulary mastery. So, it
attracts the researcher to help them by implementing learning technique which
is attractive, interactive, qualified and interesting too. The writer’s
technique is watching English film. So it would encourage the students to get
long term memory toward the vocabulary that has been tought by the teacher in
school.
In this research the writer
will explain about the benefit of vocabulary mastery. And the benefit are :
Greater understanding means
being better informed. So it’s easy to read comic books but a bit more tricky
reading “The Times”. Want the edge on your collagues or competitors? You must
be easy with your language, and have a good understanding. It can be
embarrasing and even destructive to find yourself in a situation where everyone
is using a word that you don’t know.
Add spice to your public
speaking. Using the same words over and over gets boring. Having a large
vocabulary will always keep your audience keen. Be careful though, using long
words just to impress will always have the opposite effect, people will switch
off if they think you are being pompous.
Get your message across
more effectively. Many people believe that the word “synonym” means “another
word for the same thing”. This is not true. If two words mean exacty the same
thing, we wouldn’t need them. Synonym aresimilar words, but not the same.
Having a good range of synonym can add not only richness to your speech, but
also make you communicate more effectively. The nuances that you create in your
choice of vocabulary will hit the nail on the head as for as your listeners are
concerned. They will go away knowing exactly what the message was, not just
some vague idea.
2.5.
Relevance
of the Research
Most of the students know
that they have many different ways to mastering vocabulary. As, Michael J.
Wallece (1982 : 9) says that :
“ The students has been
exposed to a vocabulary item at the same stage, but can not bring it to mind
when he needs. In this situation either communications breakdown altogether or
else the student has to use some ‘repair
strategy’ such as expressing in his meaning in different way”.
But they are often confused
about how the way or which one the way that better to mastery of vocabulary.
They are unaware that their interest in English and their habit of watching
English film can influence their vocabulary mastery. They do not know that
their interest and English film can add some vocabularies. Improve students can
versation and comprehension, about English culture.
There are a lot of good
impacts of film on student’s English learning that are yiellded rich
opportunities for vocabulary learning activities and several conversation
during the film where clear enough (and short enough) to be dealt with word,
also a number of ongoing activities were used to maintain comprehension and
interest during the six weeks or so it took to work through the film. Finally
for student it was satisfying to see the pieces they know fitting together and
the dialogues and vocabulary they had studies gave them helpful pages on which
to hang their understanding.
2.6.
Conceptual Framework
Most research reports
cast the problem statement within the context of a conceptual or theoretical framework. A description of this framework contributes to
a research report in at least two ways because it (1) identifies research
variables, and (2) clarifies relationships among the variables. Linked to the
problem statement, the conceptual framework sets the stage for presentation of
the specific research question that drives the investigation being reported.
For example, the conceptual framework and research question would be different
for a formative evaluation study than for a summative study, even though their
variables might be similar.
interest
in English is very important because it can make the students feel enjoyment to
do the activities. Interest can motivate students to enjoy the lesson. Interest
is very important for someone to carry out activitiesmto its best way in form
of mental condition.
The success of the student
in teaching and learning process is influenced by his or her interest, because
the students feel enjoy to do the activities especially to follow the lesson in
the classroom.
Interest in English does
not only form one’s behaviour but also can support him/her to do the
activities. And of course with that the students will mastering the vocabulary.
By watching English film the
student can get new vocabularies that they did not know before. And if they are
watching more and more, even it is become their habit. Then they will mastering
the vocabulary.
So, In this research, the
writer will know the effect of students’ interest in English and the habit of
watching English films to students’ vocabulary mastery.
2.7.
Research Hyphothesis
Research hypotheses
are the specific testable predictions made about the independent and dependent
variables in the study. Usually the literature review has given background
material that justifies the particular hypotheses that are to be tested.
Hypotheses are couched in terms of the particular independent and dependent
variables that are going to be used in the study.
An example would
be, "Children who are exposed to
regular singing of the alphabet will show greater recognition of letters than
children who are exposed to regular pronouncing of the alphabet"
Notice the IV is
specified (singing compared to pronouncing) and the DV is specified
(recognition of letters is what will be measured). Notice also that this
research hypothesis specifies a direction in that it predicts that the singing
group will recognise more letters than the pronouncing group. This is not
always the case. Research hypotheses can also specify a difference without
saying which group will be better than the other. In general, it is considered a
better hypothesis if you can specify a direction.
Finally, note the
deductive reasoning principle of the scientific method when we test hypotheses.
If our theories and ideas are the truth we can devise controlled experiments
and find evidence to support them. This gives considerable credence to our
theories. If we work the other way, and gather data first and then try to work
out what happened (inductive reasoning) we could be faced with a large number
of competing theories all of which could be true or not true. This is sometimes
called posthoc theorising and is a common way in which people explain events in
their world. But we have no way of knowing which one is correct, we have no way
of ruling out the competing reasons and we usually end up with choosing the one
that fits best with our existing biases.
Inductive reasoning does
have a role in exploratory research in order to develop initial ideas and
hypotheses, but in the end the hypotheses have to be tested before they can
have scientific credence.
Hypothesis is a
presumption, which can be right or can be wrong. The hypothesis will be
rejected if it is proved wrong and it will be accepted if it is supported by
facts. The rejected hypothesis and the accepted hypothesis depend on the result
of the research. And the writer’s hypothesis are :
Ho :
- There is no effect of the
students’ interest in English and
the habit of watching
English films to the students’
vocabulary mastery.
-
There is no effect of the students’
interest in English to the students’ vocabulary mastery.
-
There is no effect of the habit of
watching English films to the students’ vocabulary mastery.
Ha :
- There is the effect of the
students’ interest in English and
the
habit of watching English films to the
students’
vocabulary
mastery.
-
There is the effect of the students’
interest in English to the students’ vocabulary mastery.
-
There is the effect of the habit of
watching English films to the students’ vocabulary mastery.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In this chapter, the writer
will be present some matter that relate with the research, they are the Aim of
the Research, Place and Time of the Research, Polulation and Sample of the
Research, Technique of the Collecting Data, Instrument of the Research,
Technique of Data Analysis and Statistic Hyphothesis.
3.1.
Aim of the Reasearch
An aim is an overall specification
of the intention or purpose of a programme of study or institutional mission or
policy. A programme of study may specify one or more
aims. These are generally specified so as to encompass the purpose and
philosophy of the programme.
Aims are usually further elaborated by programme
objectives or programmes
outcomes. These are usually framed to
indicate what students will be able to do as a result of studying the programme.
Aims specify the overall direction and content
of a programme of study. Module aims would do the same for a subunit of a
programme, usually showing how they relate to the overall programme aims.
The
aim of the research is to whether there is the effect of students’ interest in
English and the habit of watching English films to students’ vocabulary mastery at SMKN in Pasarkemis Tangerang.
3.2.Place and Time of the research
Time restrictions regulate
when individuals may express themselves. At certain times of the day, the
government may curtail or prohibit speech to address legitimate societal
concerns, such as traffic congestion and crowd control.
Place restrictions regulate
where individuals may express themselves. The Supreme Court has recognized
three forums of public expression: traditional public forums, limited public
forums, and nonpublic forums. Traditional public forums are those places
historically reserved for the dissemination of information and the
communication of ideas. Consisting of parks, sidewalks, and streets,
traditional public forums are an especially important medium for the least
powerful members of society who lack access to other channels of expression,
such as radio and television. Under the First Amendment, the government may not
close traditional public forums but may place reasonable restrictions on their
use.
Limited public forums are those places held out by the government for
civic discussion. Capitol grounds, courthouses, state fairs, and public
universities have all qualified as limited public forums for First Amendment
purposes. Although the government may designate such places as sites for public
speech under certain circumstances, the Supreme Court has recognized that
individual expression is not the sole objective served by limited public
forums.
The government is allowed to regulate non-public forums with even
greater latitude. Non-public forums include privately owned property and
publicly owned property devoted almost exclusively to purposes other than
individual expression. Airports, jailhouses, military bases, and private
residential property have all been deemed to be nonpublic forums under the
First Amendment. Public sidewalks and streets that abut private property
normally retain their status as traditional public forums.
from the explanation
above, the writer want use the time and place to support her research. And to
collect the data for this research the writer held a field research at SMKN in
Pasarkemis Tangerang. And for the time, the writer predict, it’s about february
or march 2013.
3.3. Method
of the Research
There are three main methods for collecting data in qualitative
research. The resulting data is usually transcribed then analysed using one of
a variety of techniques for analysis (development [and interpretation] on key
themes for example). The three main methods of data collection are:
Focus groups
For this
method the researcher brings together a small number of subjects to discuss the
topic of interest. The group size is kept deliberately small, so that its
members do not feel intimidated but can express opinions freely. A topic guide
to aid discussion is usually prepared beforehand and the researcher usually
‘chairs’ the group, to ensure that a range of aspects of the topic are
explored. The discussion is frequently tape-recorded, then transcribed and
analysed.
Direct observation
Data can
be collected by an external observer, referred to as a non-participant
observer. Or the data can be collected by a participant observer, who can be a
member of staff undertaking usual duties while observing the processes of care.
In this type of study the researcher aims to become immersed in or become part
of the population being studied, so that they can develop a detailed
understanding of the values and beliefs held by members of the population.
Sometimes
a list of observations the researcher is specifically looking for is prepared
before-hand, other times the observer makes notes about anything they observe
for analysis later.
In-depth interviews
Interviews
use the same principle as a focus group, but subjects are interviewed
individually, ideally in the patient’s own home. Interviews in qualitative
research are usually wide ranging, probing issues in detail. They seldom
involve asking a set of predetermined questions, as would be the case in
quantitative surveys. Instead they encourage subjects to express their views at
length. One particularly useful technique is the critical incident study, in
which subjects are asked to comment on real events rather than giving
generalisations. This can reveal more about beliefs and attitudes and
behaviour. The researcher may be able to obtain more detailed information for
each subject, but loses the richness that can arise in a group in which people
debate issues and exchange views.
To support this research, the writer
collects data based on the library research and the field research by using
questionnaire and test. In the library research, the writer goes to the some
libraries to find books that are related to the topic of the research. In the field research, the writer give
questionnaire about the students’ interest in English and The habit of watching
English films ( variable X1 and X2 ) and
gives vocabulary test ( variable Y ) to
the whole students at SMKN in Pasarkemis Tangerang.
3.4.
Population and the Sample of the
Research
Population is area that consist of
subject / object which have quantity and characteristic that is decided by
researcher to be learnt and to get conclusion. So, population is not only human beings but also everything that there
is in the world. Population is not only the total object / subject that will be
learnt, but consists of the whole chararteristic of the object / subject it
self.
The population of the research is the
whole students at SMKN in Pasarkemis Tangerang. The size of populations are schools ( SMKN )
Sampling is done usually because
it is impossible to test every single individual in the population. It is also
done to save time, money and effort while conducting the research. Still, every
researcher must keep in mind that the
ideal scenario is to test all the
individuals to obtain reliable, valid and accurate results. If testing all the
individuals is impossible, that is the only time we rely on sampling technique.
3.4.1
Types
of Sampling
The best sampling is
probability sampling, because it increases the likelihood of obtaining samples
that are representative of the population.
3.4.1.1 Non-Probability Sampling
In this type of population sampling,
members of the population do not have equal chance of being selected. Due to
this, it is not save to assume that the sample fully represents the target
population. It is also possible that the researcher deriberately chose the
individuals that will participate in the study.
Non-probability
population sampling method is useful for pilot studies, case studies,
qualitative research, and hypothesis development.
This sampling
method is usually employed in studies
that are not interested in the parameters of the entire population. Some
researchers prefer this sampling technique because it is cheap, quick and easy.
3.4.1.2 Probability Sampling
In probability sampling, every individual
in the population have equal chance of being selected as a subject for the
research. This method guarantees that the selection process is completely
randomized and without bias.
The most basic example of probability
sampling is listing all the names of the individuals in the population in
separate pieces of paper, and then drawing a number of papers one by one from
the complete collection of names.
The advantages of using probability
sampling is the accurancy of the statistical methods after the experiment. It
can also be used to estimate the population parameters since it is
representative of the entire population. It is also a reliable method to
eliminate sampling bias.
3.4.2 Steps in Recruiting the Appropriate Research Sample
3.4.2.1 First, the researcher must clearly define the
target population.
In research,
population is a precise group of people or objects that possesses the
characteristic that is questioned in a study. To be able to clearly define the
target population, the researcher must identify all the specific qualities that
are common to all the people or objects in focus.
A population
can be as simple as all the citizens of California or it can be specific like
all male 17-year old high school students with asthma who have been taking
bronchodilators since 12 years of age.
3.4.2.2 define the accessible population
considering the researcher’s time, budget and workforce.
This process
will help the researchers grasp a concrete idea pertaining to the sample that
they can obtain from the population.
If the
researcher has plenty of time, funds and workforce, he can opt to conduct the
study using a completely randomized sample but if the time money and workforce
is limited, the researcher can opt to use convenience
sampling.
But still,
the type of population sampling must depend on the research
question and design.
3.4.2.3 Allocate the available money, time
and workforce for recruitment.
3.4.3 Research Triad
Based on the
explanation above, the writer take the sample of the population. And she takes
five of SMKN that there is in Pasarkemis Tangerang.
3.5.
Technique of Collecting Data
The data will need in the research.
The writer will collect the data from the questionnaire score and the
vocabulary score at SMKN in Pasarkemis Tangerang. In collect data, the writer
uses :
3.5.1. Observation
Observation is either an activity of a living
being, such as a human,
consisting of receiving knowledge of the outside world
through the senses,
or the recording of data using scientific instruments. The term may also refer to
any data
collected during this activity. An observation can also be the way you look at
things or when you look at something.
The writer visit the school to asking
perittion to the headmaster for doing the research in his school and in order
to conduct research, and makes interview with the English teachers.
3.5.2. Questionnaire
of the responses, this
is not always the case. The questionnaire was
that they are cheap, do not require as much effort
from the questioner as
verbal or telephone surveys, and often have standardized
answers that make
it simple to compile data.
However, such standardized answers may frustrate
users.
Questionnaires are also sharply limited by the
fact that respondents
must be able to read the
questions and respond to them. Thus, for some
demographic groups
conducting a survey by questionnaire may not be
practical.
The writer uses questionnaire to be
responded by students to find out the students’ interest in English and the
habit of watching English films.
3.5.3. Test
In general, test is finding out how
well something works. In terms of human beings, testing tells what level of
knowledge or skill has been acquired
The writer uses vocabulary test to get the
vocabulary score in order to know that the students mastering vocabulary or
not,
3.6. Instrument of the Research
Instrument is the generic term that researchers use for a
measurement device (survey, test, questionnaire, etc.). To help distinguish
between instrument and instrumentation, consider that the instrument is the device and instrumentation is the course of action (the
process of developing, testing, and using the device).
Instruments fall into two
broad categories, researcher-completed and subject-completed, distinguished by
those instruments that researchers administer versus those that are completed
by participants. Researchers chose which type of instrument, or instruments, to
use based on the research question. Examples are listed below:
Researcher-completed Instruments
|
Subject-completed Instruments
|
Rating scales
|
Questionnaires
|
Interview schedules/guides
|
Self-checklists
|
Tally sheets
|
Attitude scales
|
Flowcharts
|
Personality inventories
|
Performance checklists
|
Achievement/aptitude tests
|
Time-and-motion logs
|
Projective devices
|
Observation forms
|
Sociometric devices
|
To
obtain the data will need for this research, the writer will be use
questionnaire and vocabulary test as instruments of the research. For using
questionnaire will consist fifty questions that consist of twenty five about
the students’ interest in English and twenty five questions about the habit of
watching English films. For using vocabulary test will consist of fifty
questions ( the meaning of vocabulary form ten numbers, the place names form
ten numbers, the vocabulary pairs form ten numbers, the synonym of vocabulary
form ten numbers, and the antonym of vocabulary form ten numbers too).
3.7.
Technique of Data Analysis
In analyzing data, the
writer uses the formula of regresi linear that have two variable, as follows :
Where :
X1 = The score of students’ interest in English (
independent
variable)
x2 = The score of the habit of watching English
films
(independent
variable)
b0 =
intersep
bi = koefisien regresi ( i = 1, 2, 3, …, k)
3.8.
The Statistic Hyphothesis
▪
The Null Hyphothesis Formula : Ho : β1 = 0, β2
= 0 ( there is no effect
of the students’ interest in
English
and the habit of watching English
films to the students’
vocabulary
mastery )
▪
The research Hyphothesis Formula : H1 : β1 ≠ 0 β2 ≠
0 ( there is the effect
of the students’ interest in English
and the habit of watching English
films to the
study vocabulary mastery)
