Background
Language as
a tool of communication cannot be separated from human life. It is used to
communicate in order to fulfill our needs in social interaction. Language can
be used in written or oral communication. Communication is a message being transmitted from a speaker to a
listener; both speaker and listener need vocabulary to communicate each other.
Vocabulary
is an important element in four language skills, namely reading, writing,
speaking and listening. Without understanding vocabulary, the students will
find some difficulties. Therefore, the students must have knowledge of
vocabulary because it can positively facilitate the students to use English
effectively in their communication. In other words, it leads the students to master and to use English well.
The students cannot express their
communicative needs (ideas, emotion) to someone clearly because of lacking
vocabulary. The students are not able to master English if they are still lack
of vocabulary (Allen in Sattari, 2006). The students cannot communicate and grasp someone’s ideas that are transmitted to them, therefore
vocabulary is regarded as the most essential aspect in English. It does not
only influence oral form; speaking and listening but also written form; reading
and writing. Obviously, vocabulary affects the four language skills as a key to
succeed in mastering those skills.
From the statement above, it is clear
that vocabulary is very important for those who wants to master English well. There are
many factors that the students will master English vocabulary such as the
interest, motivation, or the using of some
method in classroom. To teach the students in the classroom the teacher should
have a good technique and preparation in teaching because the technique can
help their students to understand more their lesson. According to Anthony in
Richard and Rodgers (1986: 15), “a technique is an implementation that actually
takes place in the classroom.” Technique can be also defined as the
step down in the classroom in the application of the method.
One of strategies that can be used to
make the students master vocabulary is Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy.
This strategy involves students to choose the words they want to learn, chat
about the rationale for selecting word and agree upon words for a classroom
collection.
The purpose of Vocabulary
Self-Collection Strategy is to teach the students how to make decision about
the important of concepts and how to use context to determine word meaning, so
this can help the students become more aware of words in general and become
especially attentive to ?????????????????????
