INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
The importance of learning English in Indonesia is developing; it is
proved by the starting time of learning. Years ago English has been
firstly taught in high school then in junior high school, now the
government and schools begin to concern about teaching English from
early school. Brewster (1992: 23) says that one reason for starting
to learn a foreign language two or three years earlier might be
simply to increase the total number of years spent learning the
language, in the belief that such an approach cannot but be of
benefit, no matter what the circumstances. Brewster gives reason that
starting to teach a foreign language early is the indisputable fact
that young children have greater facility for understanding and
imitating what they hear than adolescents because they are less
distanced from the golden age when they acquired their mother tongue
naturally.
Indonesian Education Culture minister’s decision No. 0487/4/1992,
Chapter VIII, states that elementary school can add lesson in its
curriculum, if the lesson is not against with the national education
aim. That decision is followed with the education minister’s
decision letter No. 060/U/1993 on 25th February
1993 about the possibilities that English as the local content lesson
in Elementary School and can start at the fourth grade. Those
national policies are used by the local governor to make local
policy.
Sukoharjo regencies have stated the main feature of teaching program
(GBPP) of teaching English in 2004, which stated that in terms of
anticipating the developing use of English as global language, and
after considering and accommodating the parents’ need, Sukoharjo
regency in this term is education service, choose and ascertain that
English become regencies’ chosen local content for elementary
school in Sukoharjo. For temporary, English is taught in fourth,
fifth, and sixth grade.
In early time of learning foreign language, there are basic component
of language that need to be taught firstly, one of them is
vocabulary. Vocabulary is one of masteries that become the basic
element of using foreign language.
Vocabulary is essential for successful second language use, if a
person does not know what the English vocabulary of one word is, (s)
he can not deliver her/his taught or understand the meaning or the
other’s speaking or writing. That’s why vocabulary is mostly
taught for young learner like elementary school student.
From the informal pre research, researcher found that the problem in
teaching vocabulary in Elementary School was the low students’
vocabulary mastery. The indicators of the problems were students only
mastered little vocabulary (A2), they only know the words but were
not able to make sentence by using new words (A5) and also the
students could not implement the new words in communication activity
(A3). They still did overgeneralization from Bahasa Indonesia
principle. For example when reading English word, they read it
according to the spelling (A1) or they wrote the spelling of an
English word the same with its pronunciation (A4). The problems also
could be seen from class, the students were difficult to be
controlled (C1), because they preferred running, drawing, or clapping
the table to sitting, listening, and writing (C2). They did those non
academic activities, because they felt bored.
The problems occurred because the teacher applied an inappropriate
technique; she ignored the child’s psychology and the nature of
teaching English to children. Most teachers over generate children
and language teaching with adult and other subjects teaching. They
treat children same with adult and think that children is just adult
but in small size. They teach English same with other subjects, that
teacher presents the material; students listen and then answer the
questions in students’ worksheet book (LKS). In fact children’s
psychology is different with adult and English is also different with
other subject.
Children are active learner and their behavior is not same with adult
in other hand teaching language in this case English as foreign
language to children as young learner is building skill to
communicate. Teacher should adapt those special principles in the
teaching and learning process. Kasihani (2007: 29) state that English
teachers of young learner have big duty because they teach as an
early step that put the foundation both academic and psychological.
Most teachers apply an inappropriate teaching technique that neglects
the nature of children and the nature of language teaching. The
examples of inappropriate teaching techniques are memorizing English
vocabularies, repeating words list and teacher present then students
answer the task. Those techniques are not suitable and appropriate
enough to teach English especially vocabulary to children, because it
is still the low stage of learning. That techniques are still
teacher’s centered, in other hand the new paradigm of education is
student’s centered that stimulus them to learn by doing and the
center of learning is not just how teacher teach but how students
learn.
English teacher for children should know the principle of child
psychology and the way child are able to communicate. Experts of
children psychology like Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner have quite
different assumptions but they have same principle that child is
active learner. Ashworth and Clark in Brewster (1992: 40) also says
that the activities in the primary school also refers to aim for
active participation of pupils through physical involvement, making
things, and learning through concrete activities. It can be concluded
that the English learning for children should be activity based
teaching.
Piaget, Vygotsky and Bruner also have same principle that child learn
language in term of interaction in communicative situation. Children
learn to speak since infant time; in fact they try to communicate
with people and surrounding environment even with them self. Child
learns to speak little by little, firstly they are able to speak one
word only, but their short speech has entire message. Child’s skill
to communicate goes in line with their development. It can be
concluded that children language learning should be communicative
because child learn to communicate in communicative activity and the
use of language is a means of communication.
English teacher for children mostly do imitation-repetition drilling
and the teaching is teacher presenting material and then students
answering worksheet. Those kinds of teaching are not an activity
based teaching and communicative teaching. Brewster (1992: 31) states
that imitation and memorization are not sufficient in foreign
language learning. Children have to learn to create or invent phrases
which allow them to express what they want to say, whilst at the same
time, of course, making sure that communication is possible by
creating the rules governing intelligibility. Imitation and answering
worksheet give less impression to children; they will not enjoy the
learning. Those language teaching are not same with the situation
when child learn to communicate. They may be able to answer questions
in worksheet but it will be difficult for them to use English even in
very simple communication.
To solve the problem that students’ vocabulary mastery is still low
that is caused by teacher’s inappropriate teaching technique, the
teachers should build learning that match with child psychology that
is activity based teaching and the nature of language learning that
is communicative language learning. The researcher applies simple
drawing to teach vocabulary that is reflected in activity based
teaching and in communicative language learning. After the
researcher applied the use of simple drawing to teach vocabulary, the
students were interested. It was proved when the researcher entered
the classroom on the other day the students were happy and said: “
ye…..bahasa Inggris.. bu ngambar bu, ngambar ya bu., kayak
kemarin”. It proved that children like to do active activity
like drawing or singing (C3). It is different if the learning makes
them bore, when the learning just goes several minutes they demand to
go home or break (C5).
The researcher applies simple drawing because she also regards the
condition of school and students. The condition of the school is the
teacher can not implement activities that use sophisticated teaching
aid while the students and the school do not have it. Like in SDN
Gupit 02 that lies in remote area that does not have modern
facilities like LCD and English learning kit (B4) and the students
also come from middle below economic class (B5). The teacher should
create a teaching activities and teaching aid that are manageable,
possible to be done but effective to improve students’ vocabulary
mastery.
The condition of the students are English is a new thing for them and
they did not aware what is the importance of English (B1). The nature
of children is they love to do something than just sit and listen to
the teacher (B2). So the technique must interest and activate
student. Moreover vocabulary mastery is always needed in
communication so the students should memorize vocabularies by long
term memory. To memorize thing for long term, the students should be
impressed first. It will be difficult for them to memorize new
vocabulary by just memorizing by repeating (B3), because it does not
impress them. Simple drawing activates the students and gives them
impressions.
It can be assumed that simple drawing is effective to improve
students’ vocabulary mastery. It suits with the condition of school
and students who can not provide an expensive media. Simple drawing
is cheap and can be done by almost everyone. It is manageable because
it can be suited to the condition of the students, class, and
teaching activities. For example if the teacher draws on the black
board s(he) can manipulate the drawing so that all students from all
corners are able to see the drawing. When the teaching activities
need individual drawing, the teacher or students can draw on the
card. Simple drawing can be done by all students, because it is easy
and only needs existing material like a pencil and paper or a chalk
and board.
Cameron (1999: 73) says that the role of words as language units
begins with the early use of noun naming object in first language
acquisition, and the use of other words to express the child wants
and needs. So the vocabulary that is needed by children in early time
of learning English is vocabulary that naming something. In teaching,
the teacher can implement it by drawing picture simple, according
with the special characters that identify the things, and then write
the English beside it, instead of writing the translation with first
language. After that the teacher can use the drawing to conduct the
communicative activity. That technique makes the students happy and
focus, the drawing also brings context when it is used in
communicative activity. The activities that use simple drawing can
vary according to the material. The principle is using simple drawing
as teaching aid or activities that gives students context to focus.
The students are able to product their own hand-made vocabulary note
book and picture card that can be used as aids that store their
memorization. They will be motivated to study because they appreciate
their own drawing. The vocabulary note book can be leveled according
to the level of students, for example in lower level the vocabulary
note book can only contain drawing and its name, but in higher level
the vocabulary notebook can contain not only name or word but also
synonym, antonym or the example of sentences that use that word.
Based on statement above, about child’s characteristic and
problem indicators, the researcher has strong belief that teaching
vocabulary by simple drawing is effective to improve students’
vocabulary mastery.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW
OF RELATED LITERATURE
Vocabulary
Mastery
The
Nature of Vocabulary
Ur (1998: 60) states vocabulary as the words the teacher teaches in
the foreign language. He states five aspects that related with
vocabulary, that are pronunciation, grammar, collocation, meaning and
word formation. Manser (1995:461) states that vocabulary is defined
as the total number of words in language, words known by person or
used in particular book, subject, or list of words with their
meanings.
According to Hatch and Brown (1995: 1) vocabulary is a list or set of
word in particular language or word that individual speaker or
language might use. Burn (1983:34) defines vocabulary as the stocks
of words used by person, class of profession.
Shemes and Waller (2000: 3) list some of the language processing
skill that might need for accurate spelling. One of them is be able
to learn new vocabulary, to use it and recognize it, since it is more
difficult to spell unfamiliar words on some language.
Eliot and Travers (1996: 384) state that vocabulary refers to the
meaning of words and its pronunciation. Hammer (1991:62) also states
that teaching vocabulary not only teaching new meaning of words but
also teaching how to spell and how to pronounce the words.
Jordan (1997: 149) states that comprehension of vocabulary relies on
strategies that permit one to understand words and store them, to
commit them to memory that is while production concern strategies
that activate one’s storage by retrieving these words from memory,
and by using them in appropriate situations.
From the definition above it can be concluded that vocabulary is
total number of words in foreign language that is used to get the
meaning that need accurate spelling and pronunciation. Vocabulary is
the first and most important
mastery for second language learners, especially young learner
because it is use to express and understand the meaning. Without
knowing what is the vocabulary of words person can not deliver
their thinking and understanding other person speaking or writing
correctly.
The
Definition of Mastery
According Oxford Advance Dictionary, Mastery is defined as the
control of knowledge. This definition is supported by Hornby (1984:
777) who defines mastery as skill or thorough knowledge. Allen
(1983:12) says that vocabulary mastery is important for student. It
is more than grammar for communicative purpose, particularly in the
early stage when students are motivated to learn the basic word.
Without having proportional English vocabulary, students will get
some difficulties in using English.
From those definitions, it can be concluded that mastery means
competency to understand and apply something learn. As we know in
English there are some skill like listening, speaking, reading and
writing skill. Vocabulary uses mastery instead of skill. Vocabulary
is about knowledge and memorizing, in other hand skill is ability to
do something well and need experience or training (Oxford
Dictionary 2003: 114). So vocabulary mastery is an important element
to learn skills of communication.
It can be concluded that vocabulary mastery is number of words that
are used as a means to use four language skills, those mastery and
skills are integrated to be used in communicative activity. There are
four aspects in vocabulary mastery that are meaning, using, spelling
and pronunciation. In teaching vocabulary the teacher should able not
only to enrich student’s vocabulary but also make them able to make
sentence using new vocabulary then implement new vocabulary in
communicative activity, and also prevent student’s to do
overgeneralization with Bahasa Indonesia, so the students will not
read English word according to the letters and write the spelling in
English same with its pronunciation.
Teaching
Vocabulary
Choosing
Vocabulary
Haycraft in his book An Introduction to English Language Teaching
(1992: pp) explains many aspects of teaching vocabulary. He says that
before teaching vocabulary, teacher should choose the vocabularies
that are relevant to for students.
There are certain guidelines on which the choice of vocabulary can
be based:
Commonest
Words; Haycraft states that it is important to choose words that
are commonly used, or words that students need, the teacher is
helped here by the textbook where vocabulary is graded, and list of
the commonest words are also available.
Student’s
Need ; Haycraft suggests that if only a students who interested in
particular vocabulary but the others don’t, the best way to
teacher is suggest him to do research on his own with a dictionary.
Student’s
Language; to teach children the teacher should use the child
language.
Word
Building; Haycraft suggests that it is often worth choosing a word
because a general rule can be formed, the fact that most words
ending the same suffix have the same meaning.
Topic
Areas; Haycraft says that it is easier to teach vocabulary which
belongs to one area of sequence, as the student will be able to form
a pattern of interrelated words in his mind. Sometime teacher finds
that one word lead naturally to another, so the teacher teaches many
vocabularies. The students will probably welcome this because they
feel they are learning a lot of quantitatively, but in fact your
students will forget, or never use most of what you are teaching
them.
Cross
Reference; Haycraft states that a lot of words are applicable to
different situations or specializations. For example, if teacher
teach vocabulary connected with car, it is worth choosing term that
are also common to other means of transportation such as trains,
buses, etc.
Presenting
New Vocabulary
Haycraft states that before presenting vocabulary in class, it is
helpful to remember the following:
Whenever
possible, teach the words in spoken form first, and only when
students can pronounce them well, introduce the written form.
Otherwise, your students will always try and pronounce English words
as if they were written in their own language, and it will be
difficult for you to break this.
Try
to present new words in context.
Revision
is essential. Blend words you have presented into later practice.
There are many ways of presenting new vocabulary. The researcher only
describe briefly, because these are important so she can not omit
them, in other hand she emphasize on simple drawing that is one of
way in presenting new vocabulary. These are the ways in presenting
new vocabulary
In
context; if word occur in a text or passage, the meaning can often
be deduced when the other words in the sentence are already known.
Create
a context; it is the way to teach abstract words.
Description
of definition; that is by describing and defining object.
Outside
the classroom; the teacher can introduce words for things seen
outside the class.
Object;
simple object and the object that can be seen through the window can
be used to presenting new vocabulary.
Drawing;
Teachers can represent a simple object on the board, if he draw
badly; a guessing game ensues to determine what he actually has
drawn.
Mime;
This is particularly useful for action or verb and also involve the
object connected with these verb.
Opposite
or Synonyms; A word can often be defined by its opposite or
synonyms.
Translation;
it is simple way but the students will be easy to forget. Haycraft
suggests whenever teacher do translate vocabulary, make sure to
exemplify the word in context, setting them in context also brings
out their exact meaning.
Picture/
Wall charts; these are valuable because they are also present
vocabulary in a visual context, as long as they are clearly visible.
Word
Games; games are useful for practicing and revising vocabulary after
it has been introduced.
The
Rule Underlying the
Teaching English
In order to make the teaching English in Elementary School run
effectively, education service of Sukoharjo regency make a main
feature of teaching program (GBPP) of teaching English. It becomes
the supreme guidance that is used to guide the institutions that held
the program that is English teaching.
Aims
of Teaching English
The aims of teaching English in Elementary School in Sukoharjo are
stated below:
Recognizing
English as foreign language, so the students consider its existence
beside others languages that they have mastered, that is Javanese as
mother tongue or first language and Bahasa Indonesian as second
language.
Giving
motivation to students, so they can interested in English as
international language that in the future can determine their
future, so they can learn it with joy.
Building
the basic English skill that are the skills of listening, speaking,
reading and writing that can be used to understanding and expressing
the simple English expression that related to their daily life.
Giving
the basic of English to students so when they continue to junior
high school they have had enough schemata.
The
Scope of Teaching
English
The scope of teaching English in Elementary School in Sukoharjo are
stated below:
English
skills that covers skills of listening, speaking, reading and
writing.
Language
elements that covers grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and
spelling.
Topic
and language function that covers topics and language function that
related with student’s daily life both in house and in school.
Learning
Approach
English is given by using meaningfulness approach; these are some
important concepts underlying this approach:
Language
is mean of communication that is used to expressing meaning (feeling
and ideas) that is manifested through grammar and vocabulary.
The
meaning of an expression is determined by used context that covers
setting (place, time), participant, content, purpose, key and
channel.
One
meaning can be expressed with different expressions, so that one
expression can have some meanings; it depends on its contexts.
Learning
English means learning to use English for communication in spoken
(listening and speaking) or in written (reading and writing),
in repressive (listening and reading) or in productive (speaking and
writing). That using is supported by the enough knowledge of
language elements.
English
in this early learning is emphasized on language acquisition than
language learning. The implication of that concept in teaching
learning process is that English is taught while playing, speaking,
working, etc. So that students learn English with fun feeling.
Teacher should avoid the learning that formal and stiff that only
make students afraid and depress.
The choice should be match with point number 5. The use of colorful
picture, song and game are example of good choice.
The
Teaching Principle
These are the suggested learning principles to teach English:
The
student is subject; it means that students become the center of
learning process. Learning technique and teaching material should be
balanced with student’s interest and ability.
The
development of interests and motivations, it means that learning
process is focused in the effort of rising up student’s interests
and motivations to learn English.
Oriented
in process, it means that language skill is skill process. Therefore
development skill process is as important as the assessment toward
the language skill it self.
Integrated, it means that the development of the four language skill
and the four of language elements is done interestedly.
Contextualization,
it means that the language skills and language elements are taught
and learned in the context of language use so it forms a meaningful
learning.
Spiral
improvement, it means that the new development of language skill and
the language elements and other components are always bringing the
one that have been learned previously.
Interaction,
it means that the participations and interactions are very important
in learning process and in the process of developing student’s
confidence and social relations among students that have different
background.
Underlying and Psychological
Theories of Teaching
English to Young
Learner
Elementary school students in fourth until sixth grade belong to
young learner; young learner in this case is children. The proverb
that say children are not adult in small size is true. Children have
their special characteristic deal with development, communication and
also size that different with adult. So teaching young learner is
different with teaching adult, teaching children especially teaching
language needs the different treatment. To choose the teaching
treatment the teacher or educator need to know the children’s
psychological and development as underlying thought. Teacher need to
know the psychological development theories that relevant and related
with language learning, especially foreign language in this case is
English. Prof. Kasihani K.E. Suyatno in her book English for Young
Learner (2007) compiles the theories that are stated by psychological
experts Piaget, Vigotsky and Bruner, and these are Prof. Kasihani’s
resume of the theories that related with children development:
Jean Piaget (1896-1980)
Piaget’s theory related with cognitive element, he argue that child
learn from their environment by developing what they have owned and
interacting with what they have met. In the interaction they will act
to solve their problem and in this moment the process of learning
happen.
According to Piaget, all children are active learner. Knowledge that
is gained from their action is the knowledge that is developed by
them self. New knowledge is knowledge that actively arranged by
children them self. In early time, the one is related with concrete
things surrounding, then come into their thought and followed by
doing action then the action is processed and that can be understood.
By that way everything in child’s mind is seen as what is gained
from the action, then the thought are developed then child’s action
and knowledge will adapt and finally the new knowledge is happen.
Piaget (1969) defines four stages of child’s development:
sensorymotor stage from birth until 2 years old
preoperational stage 2 – 8 years old
concrete operational stage 8 – 11 years old
formal stage 11 – 15 years old
Development stages are different among children both in individual
and in group. The development stages for every stage can happen in
same time, but the development for every stage can be gained in
different time, moreover for every kind of subject is also different.
Piaget (1963) argue that the way child thing develop through direct
involvement both with things and surrounding environment. Every time
child reach new development stage, their ability also develop and
blend with new development stage. Because two from four transition of
development time happen in elementary school time, the language
teacher should be able to cooperate with the students, to make them
able to follow the characteristic and transition of student’s
cognitive development stage. Learning language happen through
interaction, language development and concept develop in line with
age development.
Prof. Kasihani (2007) argue that by using Piaget’s four development
stages, Indonesia elementary students lies in the end of
preoperational stage until concrete operational stage,
and sometime until beginning period of formal stage. She
concludes that elementary students need to be treat suitable with
their class grade. Child’s thought develop step by step in line
with knowledge development and intellectual skill point to the
thinking stage that more logic and formal. She suggests that English
teachers of young learner should have knowledge about child
development.
Lev Vygotsky
Vygotsky is a Russian psychologist, he also states that child is
active learner, but his theory is different with Piaget’s,
especially on the child learning process. In fact Vygotsky does not
ignore individual cognitive development; he also admits that the
development of first language or mother tongue in age two is used to
make differences in cognitive development, but he focus on social
aspect. Vygotsky theory is well known as sociocultural theory,
he believes that social interaction with other person -especially
with adult- will arise the existency of new ideas and can develop the
learner’s intellectual development.
For children who start to speak, language is a mean to open chance to
be used to doing something and arranging information through word
usage. Cameron (20: 2001) states that sometime child speak with
themselves when they play alone, that phenomenon called private
speech, in line with age development, the voice of children
accidentally less loud. In this development stage the child already
able to distinguish between private speech used for
them self and social speech for other people. Children who
begin to speak, usually say only one word but in fact they mean one
entire message. In line with biological and thinking development and
also language skill development, child will use some short words and
then short sentence when they express their thought. Vygotsky’s
statement is rather different with Cameron’s, Vygotsky distinguish
this term into two that are spoken speech and in hearth speech.
Development and language learning process happen in a social context,
which is in community that full with people that do interaction with
the child. People surrounding children has important role in helping
them to learn to use language. Children are active learner that live
among other people since they are infant. Through social interaction,
adult acts as transmission between child him self and with child
surrounding world. With adult help, children can do and understand
more than if they learn by them self.
Prof. Kasihani concludes the differences of Piaget’s Theory and
Vygotsky’s theory, Piaget’s state that children is active learner
that are busy with things around them, if they can’t do something,
it means that they have not already reach the development stage to do
that. But Vygotsky is more focus on social interaction that can help
children to learn to use language fast.
According to Vygotsky, adult can help child by various way. Adult
help can support to fluent the achievement of child development zone
that is called zone of proximal development (ZDP). Vygotsky’s
idea and concept of social aspect becomes the concept of ZPD. Learner
have two development stages, that are actual development and
potential development that is stage when thinking and learning
ability is successful because of their own effort. Actually every
child can reach that ability development with the help from other
person.
Vygotsky use the term ZDP to identify the intelligency stage,
according to him intelligency can be measured by knowing what
children can do with right help.
These are three important issues that are emphasized by Vygotsky and
Arends (1998):
Thinking ability develop when people is faced with new knowledge,
new idea and problem that are connected with what they have known
before or prior knowledge
Interaction with another people can develop intellectual development
or child thinking strategy to find something new
The important role of a teacher is as a good helper for a child in
study process.
Prof. Kasihani concludes that when learning something new, the
process of connecting what learners have known before with new
knowledge through study experience happens. In other words, it seems
that as if there is a bridge between prior knowledge and new
knowledge, and the bridge is called experience.
Jerome Bruner
Bruner is a psychologist and become the expert in curriculum
reformation in 1950’s and 1960’s. He states that the important
thing in learning process involving students actively since the
beginning, true learning comes through personal discovery.
Bruner (1983 – 1990) states that the most important from cognitive
development is language. He did research to find how adult use
language to connect real world to student and help them to solve
their problem. Talking with children while doing something is a form
of verbal aid to support students learning process. This activity is
implemented in the classroom in the form of speaking interaction
between teacher and students, this activity is called scaffolding.
Bruner and his friends (1976) did research about mothers and her
children, parents can help and support children development by doing
these activities:
Make children interested
Simplify their task, for example by dividing task into smaller task
Always remind children which one is important to do and tell another
way to do the task
Avoid the frustration feeling when doing the task
Demonstrate one ideal task, for example how to apologize, to take a
leave (Cameron, 2001: 8)
Scaffolding can be done by teacher thought doing various ways,
for example teacher can help children to understand what they learn
by giving suggestions, telling the importance of what they learn,
reminding and giving example. Brunner calls these efforts as activity
that is repeated every time or called as routine. These activities
arise the possibilities of Scaffolding, because children often
imitate speaking of their parents mostly said.
From the theories above the researcher can conclude that in teaching
children, teacher need to know child’s developments and suit the
methods with those developments. Piaget’s theory says that teaching
children should be learning by doing, the students able to expand the
knowledge by themselves more than just imitating. So the learning
should give chance to students to be active, let them understand by
doing activity that related with the material. Teaching children is
more demanding that teaching adult, the learning may not be teacher
just talking and the students just listening like what happen in
teaching adult. Children learn language unconsciously, they gain
knowledge by doing activity, they like playing game, drawing, singing
and others fun activity. Children language development, develop in
line with developments stage so teacher also suit the material that
match with students development stage.
From Vygotsky’s theory, the researcher can conclude that in
teaching children the teacher need to create society or environment
that support children to learn English. For example teacher can say
in simple English utterance, step by step the students can familiar
with English dialect and they can understand the meaning. Vygotsky
also said that social relationship can help students learn language
faster, it can be implemented by holding the group game or dialog,
and children can do interaction with their tablemates or speak in
front of class. By that activity the students can have the brave and
cooperation value.
Related with zone of proximal development (ZPD) that adult
help can support child’s development, can be implemented through
the teachers’ role, teachers not only the source of teaching become
facilitator, for example giving model, correcting error, encouraging
the students and managing the class activities and also become class
analysist. Interaction with another people can support the
intellectual development, so teacher should build the interaction
between her and students and students with their friends. By creating
the interactive environment, the teacher also creates the
communicative teaching. Students can use language to communicate,
although they are able to produce simple communicative English
sentences, it will become a great step to use English in
communicative activity.
From Jerome Bruner, the researcher can conclude that children
teaching should be activity based teaching, because scaffolding or
talking with children while doing activity is a form of verbal aid.
Children also have their own language, so when teacher give help by
talking, she should speak with them with their language. Children can
not understand abstract and high level language; teacher should speak
in simple language that clear and understood by students. The teacher
should also create the friendly environment, it does not mean that
the teacher does not have control on students but the students do not
fell impressed by students and also the material. Teacher should make
situation that students are free to involve and they are not afraid
with making error, because error indicate learning. The teacher can
give encouragement, enforcement, appreciation and impression to
motivate students to develop their effort in learning language. So
students will not have assumption that English is difficult and
scaring subject.
Simple
Drawing
Activity
Based Teaching
The type of teaching that suitable with students of fourth grade
students of elementary school that belong to children and young
learner is activity based teaching. Cobb and Webster in Brewster
(1992: 40) says that the teacher should involve the students
actively, trough classroom activities, questioning and reasoning,
dramatization and role play, song and games and miming activities.
Brewster (1992: 40) states the most common areas of the curriculum
which can be used to develop language learning are:
Math :
number, counting and quantity; measuring; telling the time
Science :
animal; outer space; how seeds grow
History :
understanding chronology/ the passing of the time; prehistoric
animals
Geography
and the environment: shop and shopping; parks; sport and games;
using maps and atlases; the weather and climate.
Cultural
Studies: famous people from other countries; festivals around the
world; food and music from other countries.
Art
and Craft : drawing and printing; making masks; puppets; clocks, and
making poster
Music
and Drama : songs and rhymes; role play and dramatization; miming
Simple
Drawing
According to the nature of activity based teaching, simple drawing is
including in it. Because it activates the students and makes them
fell fun, they learn language while drawing. Simple drawing can
become teaching activities and teaching aids in learning English
From oxford learners pocket dictionary, simple is easily understood,
not difficult and drawing is art of making a picture with pen,
pencil, etc. It can be concluded that simple drawing is making a
picture with writing media simply, easily understood and not
difficult.
Wright (1997: 2) defines simple drawing as an easy picture with a
writing media in order it can easily to be understood. There are many
kinds of object that can simply drawn like human, animal, things at
home, nature feature, and setting of place. Those simple drawing can
be used to teach English suitable with the material.
The
Procedure of Using
Simple Drawing to
Teach Vocabulary
According to Wright (1997: 7) says that many games and activities
suggested for use of simple drawing are referred to under two board
heading, first is challenges and second is opportunities. These
categories refer to the way in which the learner’s mind is engage
and represent a concern with communicative content and personal
values.
The
Types of Challenges
Activities
The
students are shown a simple drawing and being asked to remember what
the English for the things that are shown.
The
students are being asked to recognize an image and being asked to
use the foreign language in order to communicate what they think. In
this activity the students may see aspect of the picture in
different ways; they have a reason for speaking and listening to
other students.
Other
types of challenge are the challenges to describe, to match, to
group, to sequence, to order and to memorize. Other concept which
focus on challenges might include: to predict, analyze, deduce,
differentiate, account for, interpret, evaluate, verify and
convince.
The
Types of Opportunities
Activities
In this activity the teacher give the students an opportunity to do
something in context full of encouragement and free from stress. For
example, the teacher might want to encourage the students to talk
about themselves, or perhaps to speculate about other people. In such
cases, the role of the teacher is to provide a board suggestion, a
gentle stimulus and a helping hand. Consider these two activities:
The
students choose the simple drawing that she/he likes, and they write
some sentences according to the picture.
The
teacher shows a simple drawing of something for example a person.
The student, first of all individually and then in pairs, make notes
on who the person might be, their age, interest and occupation.
These speculations are then discussed by the whole class.
The
Ways to Provide
Simple Drawing in
the Class
In providing the simple drawing for the teaching material, the
teacher can draw the simple drawing by her/him self or they can copy
it from other resources. And there are also two ways in providing the
drawing on the students, first providing picture to whole class and
providing picture for individual use, the teacher can asks students
to make their own simple drawing. These are the explanation of each
way:
Providing
Picture to Whole
Class
Teacher should always draw to give students example, but in
particular cases the teacher can ask students to draw according their
imagination. It is better if teacher gives example to give control to
their students, and the students can do their improvement, but it is
important to give awareness to students that drawing just the media
to learn English not the main subject.
These are two ways in providing picture for a whole class:
Teacher
Draws on the Blackboard
The teacher draws picture by simple drawing on blackboard to students
all the class. Haycraft (1992: pp) says that the blackboard is the
most important visual aids, commonly available and inexpensive. It
has advantage of providing a focal point of attention for whole
class, and can be used for a variety of purposes.
Wright (1984:2) gives technical instruction in drawing on the
blackboard. If the teacher draws, (s) he must learn the approach of
simple drawing first. When (s) he draws, first they must judge the
proportions whether the line is longer or shorter than another, or
shape is thicker or thinner. Second, they must judge the angle of the
lines whether they are lines or the edge of shape.
The
Teacher Draws on Paper or
Photocopies to be Shown to the
Class
It is good if after the presentation there is a game that requires
students to touch the picture. If the teacher draws in black board
the drawing will be easy to erased, so it better if the teacher draw
of photocopy and paste the paper on the blackboard. Wright (1982:pp)
gives tips to teacher who photocopy from other resources, to not to
go to the edge of the paper and not to use large areas of black than
the machine can reproduce. If the teacher stick smaller pieces of
paper down so the level are different, put typist’s white opaque
along the edges to remove the shadowed line. To make the paper last
longer, the teacher can paste the paper on the card. Wright (1982: 2)
also explains the materials and techniques that are used in the use
in simple drawing:
Card
or Paper
Teacher’s flash card should certainly be on card and not paper.
Card is last longer and easier to handle. For pupils it may be cheap
to use duplicated sheets rather than card. In some places it is
possible to get cheap or free off cuts of paper and card from
printing houses.
Adhesives
These are ways to stick thin paper to card:
(1) Use rubber based glue which does not wrinkle paper, professional
designer do this.
(2) Use a paste, if the teacher uses a paste, paste it on the thin
paper and leave the paper to expand for some time before putting it
onto the card.
Grids
To give a sense of organization to your text and pictures arrange
them within a frame and align their edge. A frame (in British
English- a ‘grid’) may be made of one, two or even more columns.
Tracing
If the top piece of paper is too thick to see the images clearly put
them both against a window pane and copy it like that.
Size
Letter should be about two centimeters high. But guiding rules like
this are not very useful. Try a sample – see what it looks like
from the back of the class.
Providing
Picture for Individual
Use
There are also two ways, first students draw by themselves or second
the teacher photocopy small picture and give it to every students.
The second way needs much fund because the teacher should provide
many picture for all students. Determining the weakness that the
students can’t provide expensive media, this way is not effective.
The effective way is students make simple drawing by them selves,
because they will active and fell joy in making it and they will
appreciate their own drawing. There are two media that can be made by
simple drawing that are picture card and vocabulary note book.
Picture
Card
Haycraft (1992: pp) says that there are many advantages of using
picture card:
Picture cards are useful for presenting, practicing and revising
vocabulary or as prompts for other activities- for example, to
illustrate the character in a dialogue, to help students improvise.
Picture
card can be used as prompts for simple substitutions drills. Teacher
can hold up a card instead of saying word.
Picture
cards are also useful for identifying verb of action.
Card
can be used to indicate a sequence.
Vocabulary
Notebook of Picture Dictionary
Brewster (1992: 94) suggests teacher to encourage pupils to create
their own picture dictionary or vocabulary books. Discuss ways of
organizing these, for example, alphabetically or by topic. Picture
draw picture to illustrate the meaning of a word in English. Picture
dictionary enable pupils to find out the meaning of new words
themselves and help them develop useful study skills.
According to the explanation above, the researcher modifies the use
of simple drawing into two terms: teaching activities and teaching
aid. These are the principle steps of using simple drawing:
Becomes
teaching aid
Researcher uses simple drawing to help her in providing the aid. She
does not need to search, print or buy the picture. Moreover it is
difficult for teacher to find a non hand-made picture that really
fits to teacher’s need, it may be too less or too excessive in term
of content, size and quantity. For example it will need effort, fund
and it’s time consuming if teacher should find many pictures that
can be shown to whole class. It will be effective if the teacher
draws a simple picture whenever she presents new vocabulary. This is
easy and does not need much effort, fund and time and also the
pictures can cover teacher’s need because the teacher modifies it
by her self. Presenting new vocabulary by using simple drawing is
more effective than witting the translation in the first language
because it can make students focused and impressed more.
Simple drawing can become individual aid for every student; they can
make their own vocabulary note book and English learning aid. It will
solve the weakness that both students and school can provide the
expensive facilities.
Become
teaching activity
The students draw according to the material and their want then their
drawing is used to conduct communicative learning. For example
teacher teaches physical appearances, the students are asked to draw
person or cartoon actor that they like and they write the description
and they present it orally it will become writing and speaking skill
learning. Another example for listening learning is teacher held
simple dictation and students draw according to the dictation.
Thomas (1996: 4 pp) I her book entitled Mini flashcard Language
Game lists the process of teaching vocabulary use the material
that something similar with drawing and pictures
(1) Presentation, in this stage the teacher introduces new vocabulary
and phrases to provide plenty opportunity for the language to be
heard and practiced unobtrusively before students performs alone.
Repetition is useful at this stage.
(2) Practice activities and games, after the learners have becomes
sufficiently familiar with the new elements to be reasonably sure of
pronouncing them correctly, individual or group activities can be set
up. These activities will help the learners to improve their
familiarity with the new language and begin to transfer it to long-
term memory.
(3) Using target language, the games should be played using the
target language. Learners will need to be taught appropriate language
to use before embarking on the activities.
The researcher adapts those steps to make specific steps in using
simple drawing to improve students’ vocabulary mastery:
Presenting:
the teacher presents vocabulary by drawing or showing the simple
drawing. In this step the teacher should ask students guessing
questions about the appearance of the picture. It is used to avoid
misperception on what the drawing is, so the drawing can represent
what the picture is. For example the picture of a chicken is similar
with the picture of a duck. The teacher tells the students that the
differences between a chicken and a duck are on their feet and
height, so the students will not over generate the drawing. This
step is used to introduce meaning.
Drilling:
after the teacher draws and students understand what the picture is,
the teacher gives pronunciation model what the English of that
picture. Then asks students to repeat after her, the teacher checks
students’ pronunciation by holding class drilling, group drilling
and individual drilling then the teacher corrects students’
mistake. The teacher does this before she writes the writing because
she implement the theory that a child learn to speak before they
learn to write, so it’s better to teach oral speech first then
written form. If the teacher writes the writing immediately, it is
possible for the students to pronounce the words based on its
spelling and it will be difficult to be revised.
Copying:
After doing the drilling, the teacher writes the writing and spells
every letter with students. It is used to make students easy to
memorize the spelling. Then students copy the teacher’s drawing
and write on their vocabulary note book. This step is used to store
students’ memorization and trains the aspect of spelling when
students are in the process of copying the writing.
Using:
This step tends to be individual activity; the students use the
previous step to conduct further activity in mastering vocabulary.
For example the material is about fruits, every student is asked to
draw their own favorite fruit and write the description, and for
example “My favorite fruit is orange”.
Practicing:
This step concerns with practicing vocabulary in communicative
activity and tends to be group or pair activity. The students
practice their vocabulary mastery through game or dialog, for
example still in the material about fruit, after students have their
own drawing, the teacher asks students to conduct a dialog after she
gives a model. Two students come forward to do asking and answering
questions. One student ask “What fruit do you like” another
answer “My favorites fruits is orange” and then vice versa.
The
Benefit of Using
Simple Drawing
Scott (2000: 35) states that there are many ways to present new
language more interesting to the children. One of them is by drawing,
drawing are favorite types of interesting to children. He suggests
the teacher to keep the picture simple, like using simple line
drawing. He asks the teacher to learn and organize their worksheet
first, so the students are planed and pleased to look at. The
teachers can certainly all learn to have the chalk handy. It means
that the teacher must be more creative in teaching English to
children.
The
Weaknesses
of
the
Use
of
Simple
Drawing
to
Teach
Vocabulary
Wright (1984:2) assumes that many teachers think they cannot draw and
they are reluctant to copy from other resources. In other book Wright
(1997:2) state that simple drawing should certainly be subjected to
some practical criteria for assessment of their value, but such
criteria should apply to all activities whether they involve simple
drawing or not. There are five criteria to decide whether to use
simple drawing activity or not, whether the activity is a
conventional drill or a game making use of simple drawing.
Easy
to prepare: Don’t use simple drawing if it is difficult to prepare
in relation the teacher will get out of it.
Easy
to organize: Don’t use simple drawing if it is difficult to
organize in the classroom, it require organizational time and
energy. The teacher has to decide whether the effort of drawing more
complicated activity is worthwhile in term of the activity.
Interesting:
If the activity when simple drawing are considering is unlikely to
interest the teacher and the student, then the teacher should makes
question whether it is worth doing.
Meaningful
and authentic: The teacher ask her herself “will the language and
the way the teacher want to use it be authentic and intrinsic to the
activity”? Students are going to gain more if the language they
use is vital to the situation; there should be some reaction or
result if they use the language appropriately, or indeed
inappropriately.
Sufficient amount of language: Don’t use simple drawing if the
activity doesn’t rise to sufficient amount of language in order to
justify its inclusion in the language lesson, unless point 3 above
is sufficient justification.
C. Rationale
The problem in teaching vocabulary in Elementary School is students’
vocabulary mastery is still low. The indicators of the problems are
the students has only mastered few vocabularies (A2), they only know
the words but does not able to make a sentence by using new words
(A5) and also the students can’t implement the new words in
communication activity (A3). They still do overgeneralization from
Bahasa Indonesia principle. For example when reading English
word, they read it according to the letter (A1) or they write the
spelling of an English word the same with its pronunciation (A4). The
problems also can be seen from class, the students are difficult to
be controlled (C1), because they prefer running, drawing, or clapping
the table to sitting, listening, and writing (C2). They do those non
academic activities, because they feel bored. The problems occur
because the teacher applies an inappropriate technique; she ignores
the children’s psychology and the nature of teaching English to
children.
Simple drawing is an effective solution to cover the problem above.
It is effective and suits with the condition of school and students
who can’t provide an expensive media. Simple drawing is cheap and
can be done by almost everyone. It is manageable because it can be
suited to the condition of the students, class, and teaching
activities. For example if the teacher draws on the black board s(he)
can manipulate the drawing so that all students from all corner can
see the drawing. If the teaching activities need individual drawing,
the teacher or students can draw on the card. Simple drawing can be
done by all students, because it is easy and only needs existing
material like a pencil and paper or a chalk and board.
Teaching vocabulary by using simple drawing will be successful if it
is reflected in an activity based teaching and in communicative
learning by the teacher who regard and understand the nature of
children and the nature of language teaching. The students’
vocabulary will improve because they learn it in a joyful activity.
It will be easy for students to master four aspects of vocabulary
that are meaning, using, pronunciation and spelling because they are
impressed and learn the vocabulary by doing and using it in
communicative activity. So it can be assumed that simple drawing is
effective to improve the student’s vocabulary mastery.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Context
of the Research
In this part the researcher explains the context of the research that
will consist of the explanations about the subject of the research
that is the fourth grade of SDN Gupit 02 in the academic year of
2010-2011. The explanations consist of two scopes that are the
condition of the school and the condition of the students.
The condition of the school are; SDN Gupit 02 lies in remote area
that does not have modern facilities like LCD and English learning
kit (B4) and the students also come from middle below economic class
(B5).
The conditions of the students are; English is a new thing for them
and they do not aware what the importance of English is (B1). The
nature of child is they love to do something than just sit and listen
to the teacher (B2). It will be difficult for them to memorize new
vocabulary only by memorizing by repeating (B3).
Classroom
Action Research
This research is classroom action research. The principal of this
research is solving the problem in teaching learning activity by
applying certain action. The research begins by identifying the
problem and believing that certain technique or media could solve the
problem. Then by doing action and observation by applying technique
or media, the researcher can conclude and judge whether her belief is
proved or not. The researcher found that the problem is the low
students’ vocabulary mastery. The researcher has strong belief that
teaching vocabulary by simple drawing is effective to improve
students’ vocabulary mastery. So the point of this research is all
about the action how simple drawing can improve students’
vocabulary mastery.
According to the experts, Kemmis and McTaggard (1988:10) in Burn
(1999:33), action research occurs thought a dynamic and complementary
process, which consists of four essential moments that are planning,
action, observation and reflection. And can be shown in this picture:
This research is individual teacher classroom action research. The
researcher observing the problem, implementing the action and
collecting the data individually inside the classroom, but she is
still guided by thesis consultants outside the classroom. The
researcher is also the teacher in the class that is being observed.
So she did not need to conduct formal pre-observation about the
school, teacher and students because she has knew the problems faced
in teaching learning process and the characteristics of the students.
After identifying the problem, the researcher did the four essential
processes of a classroom action research that are planning, action,
observation and reflection.
1. Planning: The researcher’s plans are about how many cycle
will be, what the material and activities in every cycle and what
will the researcher do in every cycle. The researcher’s plan is
that there are two cycles. The researcher predict that it will be not
enough if there will be only one cycle, so the researcher will make
the revised plan after cycle 1 for cycle 2. For every cycle the
researcher make lesson plan for every meeting.
2. Action : In this process the researcher applying the plan
by conducting the teaching learning process in the classroom
3. Observation : This process is done in every part of the
research. For example in identifying problem, searching the
literature, and gathering the in formations about the improvements,
problems, and weaknesses in every action.
4. Reflection : This process is done after the cycle. The
researcher takes conclusions from the action and reflects what are
the cause and effect of the improvements, problems, and weaknesses in
whole actions.
Techniques
of Collecting the Data
In this research, the writer is active participant observer. The
researcher does the observation both as the teacher and researcher.
She teaches, observes and notices classroom events, happenings, or
interactions from the teaching learning process. The researcher
collects two kinds of data that are qualitative and quantitative
data, these are the explanations;
Quantitative Data
Quantitative data is the data that is in the form of number. The
researcher collects the quantitative data by holding two kinds of
test that are a pre test and post tests.
Qualitative Data
Qualitative data is the data that is in the form of words. The
researcher collects the qualitative data from notes, recording,
questionnaire and interview. These are the explanations of each;
a. Field Notes: is the researcher’s note that contains what the
researcher and the students do in every meeting. To make it easier to
be analyzed, the researcher make field note in the form of table that
consists of both researcher’s action and observation.
b. Recording: The researcher records the oral test of every student
in pre- test and post test.
c. Interview: The interview is done between researcher and students
informally and incidentally. Because it is flexible, she can predict
the next questions based on students’ answer and can modify the
language based on children language so that students can understand
the question and can answer based on their opinion.
d. Questionnaire: The researcher gives questionnaire after the
cycles. Actually she gave two kinds of questionnaire, closed
questionnaire that students chose yes or no and open questionnaire
that the students should answer the questions based on their opinion.
But the researcher only used the data from open questionnaire because
the close questionnaire did not raise the valid data. In close
questionnaire, the students did not answer the questions
independently. They chose the answer that is mostly chosen by their
friends, so the answers are mostly same for whole class. In open
questionnaire, some students could express their opinions and their
opinions fulfilled the researcher’s mean.
Technique
Analyzing The Data
After collecting the data, the researcher analyzes it with following
technique:
The
Technique of Analyzing
Quantitative Data
To analyze quantitative data, the researcher uses descriptive
statistic method. The researcher calculated the mean scores of
the pre-test and post-tests. The pre test and post tests are used to
observe whether there are any significant differences between the
students’ achievement before and after the action. The mean of the
pre-test and post tests can be calculated with the formula:
=
In which :
Means of pre test score
= Means of post test score
N= Number of sample
2.
The Technique of
Analyzing Qualitative Data
The researcher analyzes quantitative data using qualitative data
analysis written by Miles and Hubermann in their book Qualitative
Data Analysis. They define analysis as three steps that are data
reduction, data presentation and data conclusion or verification.
These are the further explanation of every step:
Data
reduction: is a process of choosing, focusing, simplifying and
transforming the data from field note. Data reduction is a form of
analysis that focusing, guiding and reducing useless data and
organizing the data, so the final conclusion can be verified.
Data
presentation: in this step the researcher limits the presentation,
so the information gives chance to the existence of conclusion and
action.
Verification:
This is the step of taking conclusion and verification. The
conclusion that arises from the data must be tested for its truth,
strength, and that will become its validity.
The researcher applies those steps in different actions. Data
reduction is done when the researcher do the pre-observation, pre
test, cycle, and post tests. The researcher take note every data then
simplifies the data to choose important and useful data only. Data
presentation is done when the researcher present the result in the
form of table both score table and field note table. After doing data
presentation the researcher do verification, to guarantee whether the
data was valid or not and to observe the cause. The researcher does
test validity or verification by reviewing the data or holding
interview to students. For example after pre-test the researcher
analyzes that students’ mastery on every aspect of vocabulary is
still low to verify the fact the researcher hold pre-test. From the
pre-test it is true that students’ vocabulary mastery were low, to
verify the reason why students were not able to do test and their
opinion toward English, the researcher hold interview. By doing those
steps the researcher is able to analyze the data and takes
conclusion.

B. Research Finding
1. Identifying the Problem
The problem in teaching vocabulary in Elementary School was the low
students’ vocabulary mastery. The indicators of the problems were
the students has only had little vocabulary memorization (A2), they
only knew the words but were not able to make sentence by using new
words (A5) and also the students could not implement the new words in
communicative activity (A3). They still did overgeneralization from
Bahasa Indonesia principle. For example when reading English
word, they read it according to the letter (A1) or they wrote the
spelling of an English word the same with its pronunciation (A4). The
problems also could be seen from class, it was difficult for the
students to be controlled (C1), because they preferred running,
drawing, or clapping the table to sitting, listening, and writing
(C2).
To identify which aspects of vocabulary that the students lack in and
how far the students’ vocabulary mastery, the researcher conducted
a pre – test. The pre test fulfilled four aspects of vocabulary;
meaning, use, pronunciation and spelling. Each aspect had the same
value score, but different forms of test. There were two forms,
written test and oral test; in written test students did two kinds of
forms that were multiple choice and filling cross word. Multiple
choice contained two aspects: meaning and using, filling crossword
contained aspect of spelling. Oral test contained the aspect of
pronunciation; the students came forward in pair to practice the
written dialog. Researcher gave score based on their pronunciation
and intonation. The material of the test was about part of the body,
that material has been taught in previous meetings before the test.
To make the valid score the researcher gave the pre- test without
telling the students before and they were not allowed to open books
or dictionary. The researcher divided students into two turns, one
turn did the test inside while another turn was doing another task
outside the class. One student sat on one table, so they could not
cheat to other friends and the researcher could control the students
easily.
The result of pre- test was the average score of the pre test was
still low, that was 5.4 and only six of students reached the passing
grade score of English that was 6.3. So it was true that the problem
of English learning was the low students’ vocabulary mastery.
Students’ low score was caused by the four aspects of vocabulary
contributed low value. From the four aspects of vocabulary the
highest average was on meaning and the lowest one was on using,
pronunciation and spelling which had the same average. The analysis
of the score can be seen from the table 2.

the picture, so they could predict the answer. But they only just
predicted without comprehending it. For some questions they over
generalized the vocabularies of some things that look alike but
had different vocabulary. For example most students named the
“toes” same with “finger” and named “lip” same with
“mouth” which seemed same but actually had each vocabulary.
|

|
Use
|
Contributed the
lowest score because the questions contained the explicit meaning,
so the students could not just predict the answer. They needed to
analyze the answer from their understanding. For example most
students wrongly answered the question “We watching with our….”
It proved that sometime students knew and could answer the
question of one vocabulary but could not use it in context of
using.
|

|
Spelling
|
Spelling did
not contribute the high score, it was still low. In spelling, the
questions that most answered correctly by students were the
shortest spelling that was “ear” and for the longer spelling
most students still misspelled for example Tenguo, ayelesh,
forheead.
|

|
Pronunciation
|
In
pronunciation the students still over generalized the spelling
with the writing, for example the still said /are/ instead of
/É™(r)/ or /kni:/ instead of /ni:/ and other mistakes. Some
students spoke with much filler. Some of them spoke with less
filler and almost fluent but they did mistakes in pronunciation
and intonation.
|
The researcher had assumption that the low score of the students was
caused by two factors; external and internal factor. The external
factor was that they had already felt tired and unmotivated, moreover
the learning and the test was done after sport. They also felt stress
because they did the test without preparation and they were forbidden
to open the book or cheated with their friend. The internal factor
was students had low vocabulary mastery. Moreover the material had
been given on previous time, and their memorization of vocabulary was
still in short term memory so they had forgot the vocabulary easily.
To verify researcher’s assumption and to find the reasons why
students still got low score and their feeling toward learning
English, the researcher conducted interview with some students on the
other day after pre test. The interview was done on March, 2nd
2011, the researcher asked three pairs or 6 students. Two pairs
represented the students who got lowest score and one pair
represented students who got the best score.
The researcher’s prediction was true; all of them have almost same
reason that they found the difficulties in doing the test. The
analysis of the interview about students’ opinion toward the
questions of pre-test can be seen from the table.

It was
difficult for students to arrange a meaningful English word, some
students misspelled the spelling. They just could arrange the
short jumbled letter. For example the word “ear” because it
was short and the way it was written almost same with the way it
was pronounced

The students
who got better score could get better score in filling the
crossword because they were creative. They searched the true

Students were
difficult to read the dialog because they still used the way of
Bahasa Indonesia to read English dialog. They read the word
same with its spelling. So they assumed that the written dialog
was difficult to read, different with common Bahasa Indonesia.
|
To overcome the problems, the researcher implemented simple drawing
as activity and teaching aid. The principle of both simple drawing
uses is how simple drawing can be used in the situation of activity
based teaching and in communicative teaching to teach English
especially vocabulary to the students that belongs to children.
2. Implementing the Action Research
a.
Cycle 1
Planning
After finding the problems from the pre-observation, pre-test, and
interview, the researcher made a lesson plan to teach vocabulary that
implemented the four skills of language. She prepared material from
the regent dictate book entitled Enjoy Your English 4 combined
with other relevant books. She used national syllabi as guidance for
the competency standard and compulsory standard. She prepared four
meetings in cycle one, first meeting was reception stage that was
listening, because she implemented the theory that children learn
language firstly through listening. Second meeting was speaking; this
meeting was the production stage after children have already listen
the vocabulary, they practiced it in the form of spoken activity.
Third meeting was reading, it was reception stage, in this meeting
the children learned to understand the written form of short, simple
passage. Fourth meeting was writing, researcher place this skill in
last meeting of the cycle because according the theory, writing was
the top skill because learners are expected to construct the idea and
express it through written language. In this meeting the students
learned to make a guided simple paragraph contains the vocabularies
that have been learned through three other skills.
Action
The
First Meeting
The researcher conducted the first meeting on Friday March, 4th
2011. She entered the class and greeted the students by singing
“Hello-hello 2x how are you” and students answered “thank you
thank you I am fine and I hope that you are too”. The researcher
started the lesson by giving guiding questions, she mentioned the
name of fruits in Bahasa Indonesia and students said those
were called “Buah-buahan” she said those names were called
“fruits” some students repeated “Fruits”. She pasted the
picture of fruits on the black board, then asked what fruit it was,
after the students mentioned in Bahasa Indonesia the
researcher said the name of fruit in English and did the class
drilling, group drilling and class drilling.
The next step was the researcher wrote the spelling and spelled each
word together with the students. Then researcher repeated the
drilling for all fruits, in this time the spelling were included.
Then, the researcher reviewed the ten vocabularies by conducting ask
and answer activity. She gave instruction that when she pointed a
picture of fruit she said “What fruit is it?” the students should
said “that is….”.
Then the researcher asked the students to copy the drawing and
spelling on their vocabulary note book. The next activity was
individual activity, she explained the rule that when she said “show
me a picture of banana” the students looked for the picture of
banana in their vocabulary note book and raised it while say “This
is banana”.
The next activity was group activity, she asked the students to say
“one” and “two”. After divided the name of the fruits to each
students, she asked each student to draw her/his fruits on the card
that (s)he got. After each student had their own drawing, she gave
pin to the students and asked them to put the drawing on their chest.
She asked group one come forward and group two come to the back of
the class. She explained the rule of the game and gave model, the
game name was “Basket Break” the students sat form a big circle
on the paper that was pasted on the floor and one student became a
player. Actually the students sit on the chair but because the chair
in Elementary is not individual chair but long bench that is used for
pair, the students sat it on the floor and use paper as boundary
site. The rule of the “Basket Break” game is, the player play
role as buyer, (s)he will buy fruits and their friend who is sit down
play a role as fruit based on their drawing. The player will buy by
calling one fruit by saying “I buy apple” the “apple” must
follow the player and put their both hand on their friend’s back,
The player will buy fruit as many as (s) he wants, After (s)he felt
satisfied, (s) he said “break” then every one race to sit on the
paper, the one who does not get the site will become the next buyer.
After the researcher explained and gave the model the students did
the game with the researcher’s guidance. Most students followed the
game actively. The game ran until the English class time over. She
came out the class after said “good bye see you next week” and
students answer “good bye see you next week”.
The
Second Meeting
On Saturday, March, 12th 2011, the researcher came for the
second meeting. She opened the lesson by greeting and pasting the
picture on the black board. She reviewed the lesson by holding
questions and answered drilling. The researcher started to do first
activity, she command the students to draw one of the ten fruits that
every students like most. She gave model that asking favorite food in
English was “What fruit do you like? and the answer was “ I like
bla…bla… bla…Than she did class drilling, group drilling and
individual drilling. After all students could pronounce correctly,
the researcher wrote the sentences and asked students to copy it on
their book. Then, she examined every pair when they conducted asking
and answering activity “What fruit Do you like?” “I like….”
(Showing the picture each draw).
Then, the researcher did the second game that used the card they have
drawn, 10 pictures and ten names. She explained the rule and gave
model. Students played in pair, after choosing who played first. The
player took one picture and one name, if the name was same with the
picture the player said “I like…..” And he got one score and
keep the cards. If the name was not same with the picture the player
said “I like…..but I don’t like….he did not get score and he
gave back the card randomly in the pile of cards. The researcher
decided to closed the class after the bell rang by giving home work,
then saying “good by see you next week”.
The
Third Meeting
On Saturday, March 19th 2011, the researcher came for the
third meeting. She opened the lesson by greeting and pasting the
picture on the black board. She reviewed the lesson by holding
questions and answered drilling.
Then, the researcher spelled the spelling one by one in English, but
only few students who followed to spell, the other were only able to
spell in Bahasa Indonesia. Then the researcher did drilling
the letter one by one.
The researcher started to do game, she distributed the small piece of
paper one students got 10 paper. Then the researcher explained the
game, if she asked “what fruit is it?” The student should
write the name, after that they should raise the paper. After
students understood, she erased all spellings on blackboard and
started the game. Then she conducted the game for all names of
fruits.
The researcher continued to the reading lesson. She drew a picture of
woman who carries to basket. She asked question to build students’
context and made them know the idea of text that will be presented.
The researcher presented the oral English first after the translation
in Bahasa Indonesia and held drilling.
The researcher wrote the text on blackboard and did drilling by
reading the written form. The researcher explained the WH question
(What, Where and When) then did drilling it. Then the students answer
the question. The time was offer, the researcher asked the students
to applaud for their learning and she closed the meeting.
The Fourth Meeting
On Wednesday, March 23rd 2011, the researcher came for the
fourth meeting. She opened the lesson by greeting. She gave building
knowledge for writing by telling a story that every one in her family
like fruit. Each people like certain fruit and dislike certain fruit.
Then she drawn the table and the drawing, and made students could
understand the idea. Then she wrote the written text and explained
the meaning of the text.
As writing activity, she gave the paper to every student and asked
them to make the same table and text but based on their real life.
Then the researcher became facilitator, who help and answer students’
difficulties. After they had finished, the researcher told the
students that next week there will be a test and asked students to
study. Then she closed the meeting.
Observation
The First Meeting
There was one student who did not attend the class because she was
sick. The researcher greeted the students by singing to make them
motivated and happy first. Most students were happy and enthusiastic
because that was on the first class, when students were still fresh.
When the researcher showed the picture, the students began to be
interested. In drilling, there were few students just opening their
mouth and pronounced improper pronunciation, the researcher commanded
and trained them to pronounce correctly. Some students did some
mistakes in pronouncing, for example /mÉ‘Å‹go/ instead of /’mǣŋgəμ/,
the researcher corrected students’ mistake. After doing correction
on students’ mistake,
In question and answered drilling, there were some students who still
repeated the researcher, so they were not answering but saying same
questions. The researcher corrected students’ mistake, that they
should not repeat but they should answer.
The students were happy and motivated to draw on their vocabulary
note book. They asked the researcher, whether they should color the
drawing or not. The researcher said that they did not need to color
it. Some students got an idea; they rubbed researcher’s drawing
that is colored by oil coloring pastel and rubbed it again on their
drawing, so some of their drawings became colorful. It proved that in
general children were interested in drawing and coloring activity.
Students were interested in “show me” game and they did
this game joyfully. The researcher gave appreciation to the students
who could show the picture fast and gave support to the students who
still look for the picture when the others had mentioned the picture.
The researcher found a student who was not fair; he was always left
by other friends because he was slow. He did not look for the drawing
but he drew a new picture when the researcher mentioned the name of a
fruit. The researcher warned him and asked him not to do it again.
She would wait until all students could show the picture and
pronounce correctly.
In “Basket Break” game there were some students who reserved
their card and forbade the player to call them. The researcher
encouraged them to be involved in the game and said not to be afraid
to become the next player. The class activities ran until the English
class time was over. When the
researcher informed that the time had to be finished, the students
were disappointed and asked the researcher to do the same activity on
the next meeting.
The Second Meeting
In this meeting, when the researcher pasted the picture on the
blackboard, some students fought for helping her. That was children’s
characteristic that they liked to be involved and demanded for
attention. It proved that they were interested in the lesson. When
the researcher reviewed the lesson by asking “What picture is it?”
and students should answer “that is……?” some students did not
answer fully just the name of the fruit. After doing correction on
students’ mistake, most of students were able to pronounce
correctly.
In the middle of class the researcher found two students who played
game, she told them to keep their game and play the game another time
in breaking time. When the pair dialog was conducted, the researcher
found some students who did mistakes in pronunciation for example
/wʌt/, /dɔ/, /ɔreŋ/ etc. She correctted and trained the students
until they could pronounce correctly.
The card game was not well done. The students did not pay attention
and they were out of control. The researcher pulled student’s
attention by using Hi Hello trick that when the researcher
said “Hello” the students should answer “Hi” and vice versa
after answering the students should keep silent. The trick did work
well because the students were confused and only did the game when
the researcher accompanied them. The researcher was not able to
control all pairs. Most pairs did not run the game autonomously after
the researcher left them. They did not focus because another class
started to go home. It only ran one turn when the researcher left the
pair only some pair who still kept playing, other pairs stopped the
game. The researcher realized that the game was not suitable for the
students. The game needed the student’s autonomy and advance
mastery. On the other hand the students had not reached that
condition yet. Moreover other classes had been over; the researcher
realized that the nature of children was doing the same action as
their friends do. Although the activity was joyful when they saw
other friends had gone home their concentration had gone too.
Third meeting
At the beginning of the class, almost all students submitted their
homework. It proved that they learned English at home. While the
researcher pasted the simple drawing about pictures on black board,
there were students who asked to do a game. The students were happy
with the game. The researcher said that today the class would do
another game.
The drilling of the letters in spelling was not done well. At the
beginning the students followed but later on they were not eager to
follow. It happened because the students were bored with excessive
and monotonous drilling, moreover the spelling activity was just
doing repetition without any media.
The drilling in reading did not work well. At the beginning the
students followed, but latter on they were not eager to follow. Only
some students who pronounced and some students only opened their
mouth. The researcher could not control every student well because
the drilling was class drilling and the sentences were long, so some
students were not able to follow. But the students could answer the
WH questions well because they had understood the idea of the text.
The drawing helped to build student’s context.
The Fourth Meeting
In this meeting one boy was absent because he was sick. This meeting
was about writing simple guided paragraph. The researcher used simple
drawing to build students’ context and also attracted their
attention. After giving model, all students wrote a text, although
they asked the researcher many times whether their works were true or
not. It was normal because students needed guidance to use the
vocabulary to construct a simple meaningful and communicative text.
Reflection
After analyzing the observation result in cycle one, the researcher
was able to collect the data in form of qualitative and quantitative
data. She also did reflection in order to evaluate the teaching
learning process in cycle 1. She found the students’ improvement
and also the problems that were still unsolved in cycle 1. The
improvement of students’ achievement and learning process at the
end of cycle1 can be seen in table 4. And the review on problem
unsolved in cycle 1 and its revised plan can be seen in table 5.

Vocabulary Mastery

Meaning
|
Vocabulary Mastery (Cognitive)
The score was the best among three other aspects. Students could
memorize the English of the name of the fruits well. So they could
answer the questions that are related to knowledge of meaning. But
the learning scope was still narrow; it was only about the name of
the fruits.
|
The researcher added the scope of learning material. The dimension
of vocabulary was not only about the name but also the dimension
of possession, color and adjective.
|
In all meetings in cycle 2, the learning discussed four
dimensions: name, possession, color and adjective.
|
Classroom
Situation (Affective)
When the students
were asked to draw they asked whether they should color it or not.
The researcher said that they did not need to color the drawing.
Some students got idea to color their drawing. They rubbed the
rearcher’s drawing that contain oil coloring pastel then rubbed
it on their paper. The researcher got the fact that most people
especially children still enjoyed doing something with color.
|
In
cycle 1 the researcher drew manually on cards and pasted the cards
on the black board. In the cycle 2 the researcher used printed
simple drawing because its color is clearer. Moreover the learning
was emphasized on dimension of color. Printed simple drawing
describes things better and it is last longer.
|
In all meetings in
cycle 2, the researcher used printed simple drawing.
|
Use
|
Vocabulary Mastery (Cognitive)
The score improved but there were still some shortages. Some
students still had difficulties in using the vocabulary of the
name of fruits in context. For example some students were still
not perfect in writing simple guided paragraph; some students did
not follow the instructions.
|
The
learning in cycle 2, the researcher used simple drawing more than
in cycle 1. It gave the students context to write or to speak.
|
All
meetings in cycle 2
|
Class Situation (Affective)
The game that
contained autonomous activity like vocabulary card game was not
successfully done. Only some students could still continue the
game without researcher’s guide. Most elementary students still
need to be always guided, they have been not able to conduct
communicative learning activity autonomously yet.
|
The researcher
chose the simpler game so the researcher could guide all students.
|
Group Activity in second meeting was simpler and easy to be guided
because all students were divided only into two groups
|
Spelling
|
Vocabulary Mastery (Cognitive)
This aspect was the worst mastery; the students still wrote the
spelling based on its pronunciation. The researcher assumed that
it was because the learning about spelling was not effective. The
students learned the spelling only by drilling.
Classroom Situation (Affective)
Monotonous drilling made students bored, they were not impressed
well so they forgot the spelling easily. They remembered well the
meaning and pronunciation but not the spelling, so they wrote the
spelling based on its pronunciation.
|
To improve the
aspect of spelling, the researcher used the technique Easy
Reading™ that is made by Herlina the expert of children English
Teacher. The learning needs the aids, that are the small sticks
made from palm-leaf ribs and paper with written letters a to z and
also a long paper box. The researcher had asked the students to
make it by themselves, so every student had their own aid. When
students got new word they took the letters of the spelling and
sticked it in the box then pronounce the word.
The
technique “Easy Reading” attracted student
because it impressed them more about spelling, so they will
not forget the spelling easily.
|
|
Pronunciation
|
Vocabulary
Mastery (Cognitive)
Students could
pronounce the name of the fruits well but they still made error
when they said other vocabularies. The improvement was they had
done the system of English that pronouncing is not like reading
the entire spelling. For example in word “like” that the
pronunciation is /laIk/, they pronounce it /lik/. It proved that
they had used the English system, but they still made error.
Before cycle 1 they used the Bahasa Indonesia system in
English; they pronounced “like” as /like/. It proved that
students had been aware that English is different from Bahasa
Indonesia system.
Classroom
Situation (Affective)
Repetition drilling that was done
too often made students bored. It is seen in the activity when the
researcher asked the students to spell the spelling of the name of
the fruit in English. Only at the beginning of drilling, every
student spelled it but then only few students followed the
drilling.
|
The researcher made drilling
activity more effective. The researcher conducted question and
answer drill but the way was by syllable clapping.
|
On first Meeting
|
Drilling that contains long
sentences could not be successfully done by whole class. Because
there were students who did not really speak but just opened their
mouth, like what happened in the third meeting about reading, the
drilling was not well controlled.
|
The researcher
divided the sentences, one group drilled one sentence and it was
chained to the next group who drilled the next sentence. After
that the researcher combined all sentences into a text. So all
students were well guided and controlled to pronounce well.
|
Third Meeting
|
b. Cycle 2
Revised
plan
To solve the unsolved problems in cycle 1, the researcher made a
revised plan in cycle 2 based on the observation and reflection from
teaching learning process in cycle 1. The plan covers the weaknesses
on both scopes that are vocabulary mastery or cognitive and
what happens in a class or students’ affective. The explanation of
the revised plan has been stated in table 5. The researcher made the
revised plan by relying on the theories stated by the experts. These
are the underlying theories for the actions in cycle 2:
Meaning:
In chapter 2 has been explained that teaching vocabulary should be in
context and integrated with dimensions of subjects. The researcher
realized that in cycle1 the learning had narrow context and
dimensions; it was just about the name and expressions of like and
dislike. In cycle 2 the dimensions of vocabulary was added with
possession, color, size and name.
In cycle 1, the students actually wanted to color their drawing, but
the researcher did not suggest them to do so because the learning was
not about color. In cycle 2 the researcher asked students to color
their drawing because Wright (1982: 2) argues that
……It is too tempting to use lots of bright colors in order to
please the students. It is much better to choose colors for other
purposes, like
To
direct attention to something; particularly if it is small within a
picture, for example, one person giving another a present. The
people could be drawn in black line and the present in a color.
To
express feeling and to make the picture look nice.
Use:
The aspect of using deals with the activities that can make students
use English in communicative activity. In cycle 2 activities like
game, reading and writing activity maximized the use of picture that
is simply drawn by students. Wright (1997:2) states that pictures can
motivate the student and make him or her want to pay attention and
want to take a part.
The researcher realized card game in cycle 1 was not successfully
done because she expected too much, that the students could speak
English fluently like they speak in mother tongue or in Bahasa
Indonesia. Linse (2006: 49) states that in teaching EFL teacher
should avoid unrealistic expectations because the expectation for
children learning ESL of EFL should not be greater or more demanding
than the expectations for children learning to speak in English as
their native language. In cycle 2, the researcher held game in
smaller scope so the students could well guided. The researcher’s
expectation is althoygh the students can speak just few sentences,
they can pronounce well and really understand what they say.
Spelling:
The learning of spelling in cycle 1 was monotonous. It made the
students’ achievement in spelling was bad. They also were not
interested while drilling the letters. In cycle 2 the learning
impressed students more because it used the aid like in Easy Reading™
that used the phonic method. Herlina (2009:27) states that teaching
with phonic method should be creative that used the hand made aid.
The researcher adapted the use of aid like scramble but using sticks
and box in teaching spelling in cycle 2. It will be effective because
it impressed students more.
Pronunciation
The drilling in cycle 1 has been quite communicative because the
students did not repeated but they answered the questions. In cycle 2
the researcher used the same drilling but the way was by syllable
clapping. Linse (2006:38) states that syllable clapping is one of
ways that help children become more aware of auditory pattern that
occur in language. It gives children awareness foundation, prepares
them to engage in beginning formal reading instruction.
Action
In second cycle, the researcher applied the revised plan. This cycle
was conducted in three meetings. The material was about vegetable.
The learning in every meeting used integrated skills but emphasized
on one skill. The skill in first meeting was writing, because it used
to revise the worst achievement that was spelling. The second meeting
was speaking, the students tried to use the material they got in
previous meeting by speaking. The third meeting was reading, the
students learned to understand simple English text with the use of
simple drawing.
The
First Meeting
The first meeting was on Tuesday 29th March 2011. The
researcher came to the class at 7.05 am. Actually the first class was
Math but its teacher became the supervisor for the sixth grade exam.
After the agreement with the students, Math was changed into English.
Some students argued that they did not bring English book. The
researcher replayed that it was no problem because it was new
material and they have had the vocabulary note book. Because that was
the first class, the researcher asked
one of students to lead the pray by saying “let’s pray begin”
and finished it with “Amen”. After that she greeted students by
singing “Hello-hello how are you” and students answered “thank
you thank you I am fine and I hope that you are too”
The researcher pasted the pictures on the black board. Then she gave
background knowledge that the material would be about vegetables. She
held questions and answer about the name, the color and the size in
Bahasa Indonesia first. Then she gave modeling by saying “It
is carrot, it is big (small) its color is orange” etc. The
researcher held repetition drilling, by asking one of students, group
of students and whole class. Before the researcher held the question
and answer drilling, she explained in Bahasa Indonesia first
then translated it into English, and gave modeling. For example she
pointed the picture of big carrot. She asked and answered by her self
“what vegetable is it?” “Is it carrot”, “What color is it”?
“ it is orange”, What is it look like?” “it is big”. To
vary the drilling and avoid students’ boring, she introduced
syllable clapping. She explained and gave model that the
students should answer syllable by syllable and should clap their
hand in every interval. Then she held drilling alternately, for whole
class, group and individual student.
The researcher started to do game. She distributed the aid that
students have made before to every pair. The aid was adapted from
Easy Reading ™ technique. The researcher explained the rule of the
game, that when she asked question, for example “What vegetable is
it?” students should arrange the letters of spelling and stuck it
in the box. After finished they should rise the box and pronounce the
word. The researcher started the game.
After the time was over, the researcher asked the students to tidy
up their aid and submit the aid. She closed the meeting by saying
“Good bye see you on Saturday”.
The
Second Meeting
On Saturday 2nd April 2011, the researcher conducted the
sixth meeting. As usual, the researcher came to the class and greeted
the student by singing, but the students should sing first. They sang
“Hello-hello how are you” and the researcher replied “thank
you,, thank you, I am fine and I hope that you are too”. For
review, she held drilling about the material last week, after she
pasted the pictures on the black board. The drilling was question and
answer drilling done by syllable clapping. She chose the one who
answered alternately, whole class, group and individual student.
The researcher started to do individual game. She divided the duty,
one table one vegetable. After each table has known its vegetable,
she distributed two papers to each table, one was big and one was
small. She explained that student who got big paper should drawn big
size of vegetable and vice versa. The researcher explained and gave
model; students should write the description according to each
student’s drawing. For example “This is my big orange carrot”
etc. After finished she gave each student pin and asked them to pin
their drawing on their chest. The researcher started the group game,
she made group by asking the students to say “one” “two”.
Then she asked them to gather according their group. Group A came
forward first, the teacher explained and gave model. The rule was the
student who got ball should described his/ her friend’s vegetable
then his/her own vegetable for example “ that is Anisa’s
big carrot and this is my big white cabbage” and then threw the
ball to another friend and the friend chained the message, so forth
until all students got turn and continued for group B. The bell rang,
the researcher asked the students to submit their drawing. She closed
the meeting by saying “Good bye see you next week”, the student
replied.
The
Third Meeting
On Saturday 9th April 2011, the researcher held the Third
Meeting. As usual, the researcher came to the class and greeted the
student by singing. As giving background knowledge, she drew a woman
and cooking utensils and material that were vegetables. She held
question and answer about drawing to build context for the reading
text. After the students knew the text will about, she held message
chain every group drilled one sentence and would be continued the
next group. The drilling is in Bahasa Indonesia first and
then in English. After the students’ pronunciation was correct, the
researcher wrote the text besides the drawing. After that the whole
class read the text.
From the text the researcher explained the WH questions by using
Bahasa Indonesia first. She mentioned the answer and asked
students what was the questions word. After the students mentioned
the words in Bahasa Indonesia the researcher mention the
English. Then she held drilling for WH questions. For review, she
wrote the WH questions on cards, one side in Bahasa Indonesia
and one side in English. The cards were used to hold drilling, when
the researcher showing the English, students mentioning the
translation in Bahasa Indonesia and vice versa. The researcher
wrote the full questions and asked students to answer those
questions. The bell rang; she announced that next meeting there would
be a test about vegetable. She closed the meeting by saying “Good
bye see you next week”.
Observation
The
First Meeting
The researcher did not spend much effort to control the student and
attract their attention, because the class was in the first class
when students still fresh and powerful. The researcher applied the
use of English to lead the pray, to make students familiar with
English. She was happy because most of students gave attention. When
she pasted the pictures on the black board, some students guessed
that she would teach the name of fruits again. After they saw that
the pictures were different, they were interested, they said
“o…sayur-sayuran”. It proved that the students have
already boring with the material about the name of the fruits because
it already taught for several meetings. Then the students asked the
teacher why there were two same pictures for one vegetable. They were
curious; it indicated that they were interested.
When the researcher gave model, she did not command the students to
repeat but some students repeated. Moreover they repeated all
teacher’s saying whether it was in Javanese. It the characteristic
of children that they like to made something to be laugh. In drilling
moment, there were students who were not serious they just open their
mouth and behave that English was difficult to be said. The
researcher trained students until they imitated correctly, then she
gave appreciation by saying “good”.
When the researcher started the learning spelling using aid, the
students argue each other fought for choosing the aid. She tried to
calm them down. Some students followed the game happily but some of
them did not. Some students were not patient and strenuous enough and
they were not cooperative with their tablemates. The researcher
realized that those students might not be interested with the game
because of their personality. That kind of students might not belong
to kinesthetic children, so they did not like to learn with doing
detailed activity. While doing the game there were some technical
problem, for example some students found that the letters paper was
discharged from its stick. And the letters of some students were not
complete so they could not arrange the word completely. The
researcher had anticipated that problem by providing extra letters
and glue. The students who had finished came forward and show their
box to the teacher. They were very happy after the researcher said
“yes”. But, some students still did mistake in pronunciation for
example /cɑ:rrɔ;t/ , /smɑ;l/, /kɑbɑgə/ etc. When the class was
over, she gave appreciation by asking the students to applaud.
The
Second Meeting
In the process of doing individual game, all students did the duty
well. They drawn and describe their drawing well. But when the
researcher started the group game by dividing the groups, students
became noise because some of that forgot their number and they argued
each other. The researcher asked the students to repeated counting.
To make sure, she asked group A to raise their hand and group B to
raise their hand. She realized that the students would difficult to
be controlled and the game would be unqualified if both group played
in same time. So she decided Group A played first and then group B.
When doing the game, some students still forgot the vocabulary of
certain words, not only the researcher who helped but other friends
also helped to revise. Students laugh when their friend added the
apostrophe (‘s/ es) after name. It was the improvement because some
students already could revise other friends’ mistake. When group B
played the game, some students made mistake in pronunciation for
example /witə/, cɑ:rrɔ;t/, /smɑ;l/, /kɑbɑgə/ etc. And also
some students forgot the vocabulary. The researcher revised students’
mistake. The weakness came from the characteristic of the students,
when certain group played the game, the other friend disturbed by
making noise.
The
Third Meeting
In message chain drilling, most students followed it well. By cutting
the text into message chain per sentence, the students could follow
the drilling well. Because the text was not too long and the
researcher could control student better. The drawing also helped to
give students context so they could predict the text it also
interested them. The drilling that proceeded before the written text
prevented students to pronounce words according its spelling.
The students could mention the WH questions in Bahasa Indonesia,
when the researcher mentioned the answer in Bahasa Indonesia.
It was good beginning when some students could answer what were WH
questions words although in Bahasa Indonesia. Flash card
helped the students to memorize the WH questions well. Finally, with
the guidance of the researcher, the students could answer the
questions in English.
Reflection
and Evaluation
In cycle 2, the researcher found some improvements compared with
actions in cycle 1. The improvements were seen from the scope of
students’ vocabulary mastery and class situation. The improvements
could be seen in table 6.

|
The problem in Cycle 2
|
From the note
that was made by students, the researcher found that:
There was one student who admitted that he felt bored with
learning English but he preferred with drawing people, fruits and
vegetables.
There were four
students who did not like the learning about reading and writing
English text.
|
From the result above the researcher states that by doing action
until cycle 2, it has been enough to improve students’ vocabulary
mastery, so she does not need to conduct cycle 3. The findings could
answer the problem statements as follows:
Simple
drawing can improve students’ vocabulary mastery in extension when
the uses of simple drawing are in two terms: teaching activities and
teaching aid. The principle of both simple drawing uses is how
simple drawing can be used in the situation of activity based
teaching and in communicative teaching to teach English especially
vocabulary to the children. So simple drawing is one of means to
deliver the main subject that is English. The teacher should modify
the use of simple drawing to please students so that they can be
motivated and can learn English unconsciously.
When
the researcher used simple drawing to improve students’ vocabulary
mastery, the students were motivated. They felt enjoy when learning
English. Their childish bad habits were minimized. The students were
easier to be controlled.
Discussion
The discussion of research findings could be summarized as follows:
The
improvement of vocabulary mastery: the uses of simple drawing could
help students to learn aspects of vocabularies. Simple drawing could
become a means for presenting the meaning. It gave the impressions
for students to memorize the vocabularies, so that they could easily
memorize in long term memory. Simple drawing also gave them context
to understand, to speak and to write. So it could be used in
learning four skills of language. Their achievement could be seen
from their performance in learning and the score that improved
gradually in every test.
Simple drawing is able to improve the learning in the aspect of
vocabulary mastery. Wright (1997: 2) assumes that many teachers
recognize the usefulness of simple drawing in their teaching. Drawing
has many advantages; they are quick to do, their content can be
determined exactly by the teacher; they are easy to reproduce.
Teachers and their students can draw their own picture with computer
software drawing, packages, as well as more traditionally on the
board, on handout and in display.
The simple drawing also has some roles, they are:
Pictures
contribute to the context in which the language is being used. They
bring the world into the classroom (a street scene or a particular
object, for example , a train)
The
pictures can be described in an objective way (This is a train) or
interpreted (“Its probably a local train”) or responded to
subjectively (“I like traveling by train”).
Picture
can cue responses to question or cue substitutions through
controlled practice.
Pictures
can stimulate and provide information to be referred to in
conversation, discussion, discussion and story telling.
The
improvement of class situations: Before using simple drawing in the
context of activity based teaching and communicative language
learning, the teacher found difficulties in motivating and
encouraging the students to learn English. After implementing the
uses of simple drawing, the researcher could reduce the
difficulties, the teaching learning process were more effective
because the students are more motivated. Simple drawing is able to
improve the learning in the aspect of class situations. Hanks (1992:
ii) says that almost without exception, children love to draw; it is
joyous experience of communication and expression for them. If the
students fell enjoy first, they will be motivated in learning, so
the class situation will be more effective.
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION,
IMPLICATION, AND SUGGESTION
Conclusion
Based on the discussion in the previous chapter, the findings of the
results show the positive improvements in the students’ vocabulary
mastery and class situation. The findings are as follows:
The
improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery or in the scope of
cognitive, such as; the students have been aware that English is
foreign language that they learn beside mother tongue and Bahasa
Indonesia so they did not do overgeneralization, the way they
wrote and read English text were not same with the way in Indonesia.
Their vocabulary memorization increased and with the guidance of
researcher they were able to implement the new vocabulary in
communicative activity both oral and written. Students’ mistake
decreased gradually and their achievement increased gradually. It
can be seen from their score that improved in every test.
The
positive improvements of situation of the class or in the scope of
affective during the teaching learning process indicated by
students’ motivation in learning was increased; students listened
to the researcher enthusiastically; students involved in learning
actively. Meanwhile, the researcher should guide and facilitated the
students intensively.
Other conclusions are the strength and weakness of the uses of
simple drawing in teaching vocabulary. The point of the strength is
students love drawing and picture. So if the teacher modifies the
learning using simple drawing, the students will like the learning.
When the students like the learning, they will learn the subject
well, that is English. The weakness is the teacher should be creative
to modify the learning with the uses of simple drawing. Since some
materials are not flexible enough to be modified with simple drawing,
for example the materials about reading and writing English text.
There are some students who admit that they do not like those
learning. It is reasonable because the researcher has assumption that
it is quite difficult for Elementary students to learn about text in
foreign language while they have been already able to read and write
in their native language. Moreover the system of their native
language is different with foreign language especially English.
Meanwhile the ability to read and write in foreign language is in
line with the intensity of using foreign language. So, the researcher
believes that the students’ ability in reading and writing English
text will improve gradually.
Generally, using simple drawing in English class can improve
students’ vocabulary mastery and their attitude toward learning
English. Somehow, this teaching vocabulary strategy is not the only
way that can improve students’ vocabulary mastery. It should be
supported and influenced by external and internal factor, such as the
teacher’s - students’ condition and the situation of learning.
Implication
Based on the result’s observation which is aimed to improve the
students’ vocabulary mastery, the researcher concludes that
teaching vocabulary by using simple drawing can improve the students’
vocabulary mastery. Practically, the uses of simple drawing that
implemented in the situation of activity based teaching and in
communicative teaching, enable students to learn English well. The
drawing can help teacher to present the meaning. The students can
also store their memorization by making vocabulary note by drawing.
Simple drawing impressed them, so that it is easy for them to
memorize and difficult for them to forget the vocabulary easily. The
simple drawing also gives them context for helping them in speaking
or writing activity, because they can easily imagine the idea what
will they read or speak.
Using simple drawing in teaching English also improves the students’
interest toward the lesson. They can learn in the activity that they
like, so that they can be interested. With the suitable drawing,
goal, material and activity the students can learn English well.
Suggestion
The writer would like to give some suggestions related to this
research for teachers, students, institution of education, and other
researchers. The suggestions are as follows:
To
the Teacher
The teacher especially English elementary school teacher should be
creative in teaching. Teachers should give students impression by
using media or conduct learning activity. So children are not only
stimulated by audio but also visually or can be from kinesthetic.
To
the Students
The students should find their fun in learning. They should learn in
process not only to find great number but also to gain experiences to
be good personality and great experienced students.
To
the Institutions
The Education Institutions should comprehend the conditions of school
so that they can make appropriate policies to make teaching learning
process run well.
To
the Other Researcher
This research is expected can become additional references for
further research conducted in the future. Since there are many other
techniques and strategies in teaching especially English and
classroom action research is most demanded research in recent time.
The researcher expects that the teacher and teacher candidate are
able to conduct classroom action research by their own, so that there
will be many techniques and strategies applied in teaching.

Class was the second subject after sport and it was done after
break. The bell rang at 9.20 am then the researcher came to the
class. Researcher started the lesson by singing “Hello-hello
how are you” and students answered “thank you thank you
I am fine and I hope that you are too” the researcher
revised some students who just opened their mouth. Finally all
students could answer teacher’s greeting.
|
√
|
|
|
|
This activity was used to start and warm up students’ interest.
Students answered researcher’s singing greeting more
enthusiastically than by common greeting.
|
2
|
Almost
students submitted their homework, and the other said that they
did not bring the homework
|
√
|
|
|
|
Almost all students did the homework, it proved that they learn
English at home
|
3
|
While
the researcher pasted the simple drawing about pictures on black
board, there were students asked to do game.
|
√
|
|
|
|
The students were happy with the game. The researcher said that
today the class would do another game.
|
4
|
Researcher
reviewed the learning by asking “what fruit is this” and
student answered “that is …” Most students could
answer well.
|
|
|
√
|
|
The students were able to memorize the vocabulary and pronounce it
well.
|
5
|
The
researcher spelled the spelling one by one in English, but only
few students who followed to spell, the other were only able to
spell in Bahasa Indonesia. Then the researcher did drilling
the letter one by one, at the beginning the students followed but
later on they were not eager to follow.
|
|
|
√
|
|
The students were confused because the way in English is not same
with Bahasa Indonesia. Which the spelling was not same with
the pronunciation.
|
6
|
The
researcher started to do game, she distribute the small piece of
paper one students got 10 paper, if they got more they should gave
the excess to friends who got lack than 10. There were some
students who tried to corrupt the paper but later they
intentionally gave the paper back to the researcher.
|
√
|
|
|
|
Students’ learned to be honest
|
7
|
Then
the researcher explained the game, if she asked “what fruit
is it?” The student should write the name, after that they
should raise the paper. After students understood, she erased all
spellings on blackboard and started the game. All students compete
to be the first, and if they have finished they yelled.
|
√
|
|
|
|
Children love to compete
|
8
|
After
all students finished, the researcher checked the answer. Only few
students were right. Moreover there were students who preceded the
command; they wrote all spelling at the same time before the
command.
|
|
|
√
|
|
Most students were difficult to write the spelling, because
English spelling is different with its pronunciation. To give
appreciation the researcher asked the students to yelled “I am
true” if they were right, and “I am wrong” if they were
wrong.
|
9
|
Most
students were disappointed because they still confused to write
the spelling and their spelling was wrong.
|
|
|
|
√
|
10
|
The
researcher continued to the reading lesson. She drew a picture of
woman who carries to basket. She asked question to build students’
context and made them know the idea of text that will be presented
|
√
|
|
|
|
Simple drawing becomes strategies to give students context.
|
11
|
The
researcher presented the oral English first after the translation
in Bahasa Indonesia and held drilling. The drilling did not
work well. At the beginning the students followed but latter on
they were not eager to follow. Only some students who pronounce
and some student only open their mouth. The researcher could not
control every student well because the drilling was class
drilling.
|
|
|
|
√
|
Children will bore and uninterested if the drilling was done
repeatedly. The researcher could not control every student well,
because the drilling was class drilling. There will be students
who did not really pronounce but only hide in choir.
|
12
|
The
researcher wrote the text on blackboard and did drilling by
reading the written form.
|
|
|
|
|
Learning oral first then the written form is good, because
children learn to speak first before reading.
|
13
|
The
researcher explained the WH question (What, Where and When) then
did drilling. Students could answer the question well.
|
|
|
√
|
|
The students could answer well because they have understood the
idea of the text.
|
14
|
The time was offer, the researcher asked the students to applaud
for their learning. And said “good bye”. They students were
happy and answered good bye all at once.
|
|
|
|
|
The students were happy with the learning.

The researcher
came to the class at 7.05 am. Actually the first class was Math
but its teacher became the supervisor for the sixth grade test.
After the agreement with the students, Math was changed with
English. Some students argued that they did not bring English
book. The researcher replayed that it was no problem because it
was new material and they have had the vocabulary note book.
|
|
|
|
|
The researcher did not spend much effort to control the student
and attract their attention, because the class was in the first
class when students still fresh and powerful.
|
2
|
Because
that was the first class, the researcher asked one of students to
lead the pray by saying “let’s pray begin” and finished it
with “Amen”. After that she greeted students by singing
“Hello-hello how are you” and students answered “thank you
thank you I am fine and I hope that you are too” after that she
asked who was absent, and no one was absent on that day.

The researcher applied the use of English to lead the pray, to
make students familiar with English. She was happy because most of
students gave attention.
|

|
When
the researcher pasted the pictures on the black board, some
students guessed that she would teach the name of fruits again.
After they saw that the pictures were different, they were
interested, they said “o…sayur-sayuran”
|
√
|
|
|
|
It proved that the students have already bored with the material
about the name of the fruits because it already taught for several
meeting.
|
4
|
The
students asked the teacher why there were two same pictures for
one vegetable.
|
√
|
|
|
|
The students were curious; it indicated that they were interested.
|
5
|
The
researcher gave background knowledge, that the material would be
vegetables. She held questions and answer about the name, the
color and the size in Bahasa Indonesia first. Then she gave
modeling by saying “It is carrot, it is big (small) its color is
orange” etc. She did not command the students to repeat but some
students repeated. More over they repeated all teacher’s saying
whether it was in Javanese
|
|
√
|
|
|
It the characteristic of children that they like to made something
to be laugh.
|
6
|
The
researcher held repetition drilling, by asking one of students,
group of students and whole class. There were students who were
not serious they just open their mouth and behave that English was
difficult to be said.
|
|
√
|
|
|
The researcher
trained students until they imitated correctly.
|
7
|
Before the researcher held the question and answer drilling, she
explained in Bahasa Indonesia first then translated it into
English, and gave modeling. For example she pointed the picture of
big carrot. She asked and answered by her self “what vegetable
is it?” “Is it carrot”, “What color is it”? “ it is
orange”, What is it look like?” “it is big”
|
|
|
|
|
The students should pay attention
|
8
|
To
vary the drilling and avoid students’ boring, she introduced
syllable clapping. She explained and gave model that the
students should answer syllable by syllable and should clap their
hand in every interval. Some students laughed while tried it.
|
√
|
|
|
|
The students were interested
|

|
Then
she held drilling alternately, for whole class, group and
individual student.

|
|
|
The students followed the drilling well. The researcher gave
appreciation by saying “good”
|
10
|
The
researcher started to do game. She distributed the aid that
students have made before to every pair. The aid was adapted from
Easy Reading ™ technique. The students started to argue each
other fought for choosing the aid.
|
|
√
|
|
|
The researcher tried to calm them down.
|
11
|
The
researcher explained the rule of the game, that when she asked
question, for example “What vegetable is it?” students should
arrange the letters of spelling and stuck it in the box. After
finished they should rise the box and pronounce the word.
|
|
|
|
|
The students should pay attention
|
12
|
The
researcher started the game. Some students followed the game
happily but some of them did not. Some students were not patient
and strenuous enough and they were not cooperative with their
tablemates. The researcher tried to guide them.
|
|
√
|
|
|
The researcher realized that those students might not be
interested with the game because of their personality. That kind
of students might not belong to kinesthetic children, so they did
not like to learn with doing detailed activity.
|
13
|
While
doing the game there were some technical problem, for example some
students found that the letters paper was discharged from its
stick. And the letters of some students were not complete so they
could not arrange the word completely.
|
|
|
|
|
The researcher had anticipated that problem by providing extra
letters and glue.
|
14
|
The students who had finished came forward and show their box to
the teacher. They were very happy after the researcher said “yes”
|
√
|
|
|
|
The researcher became facilitator, who accompanied students while
doing the game.

Some
students still did mistake in pronunciation for example /cɑ:rrɔ;t/
, /smɑ;l/, /kɑbɑgə/ etc.
|
|
|
|
√
|
Researcher revised students’ mistake and asked them to repeat
until they pronounced correctly.
|
16

The bell rang, so the researcher asked the students to tidy up
their aid and submit it. She gave appreciation by asking the
students to applaud. She closed the meeting by saying “Good bye
see you on Saturday”. The students replied and they were laugh
