CHAPTER
I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of
the Study
In teaching English, we need pay attention to many
aspects. Some of them are: reading, listening,
speaking and writing.
But from all
aspect, vocabulary is considered
as the most
important. Learning language
will never be
successful without learning and
understanding the vocabulary.
Have a good
knowledge of vocabulary and can
support students to mastery English. Vocabulary
is the fundamental
part of language,
which is used
in any situation either. It is in
the form of spoken and written language. Vocabulary is the one four
language components, which
are spelling, grammar,
phonology and vocabulary. According
to Heibert (2005
:3), “vocabulary is
word come in two
forms; oral and print . Oral vocabulary
included those words that they recognize use
in listening and
speaking. Print vocabulary
includes those words
that they recognize use in
reading and writing “.
Based on the researcher experience teaching English in
teaching training practice (PPL) to VII grade, the researcher
found some problems
in learning vocabulary.
The problem was related to the English teacher. The
teacher used a textbook as the only material in English teaching and learning
process, the materials was not developed from other English resources such as
internet, and other relevant books. The English teaching technique was
not creative, one
and most of
the English teachers
did not use media to facilitate and support the
English teaching and learning process, such as: dictionaries, English stories,
pictures, and flashcards.
The second problem was related to the students. Most of
the students often felt bored during
the teaching and
learning process, because
the students have limited English vocabulary. The teachers
should also be
able to find
suitable method like
using a method supported
by the media
in teaching vocabulary.
The aim is to make
the students easy to understand the lesson and the student enjoy
studying English.
This method is not only will be intended to give them
practical guidance about the easiest
method to learn
vocabulary but it
will also make
their English learning process
becomes more interesting,
comfortable and memorable
for the students .One
of the methods
that can be
used to help
language learners learn vocabulary is Mnemonic method with
flashcard as a media.
According to Muhibbin
(2002) Mnemonic trick is our custom made “a hook tool” mentally to
enter the items
of information into
the students mind. According Jhon W Santrock, Mnemonic
method is a memory aid to remember the information. Mnemonic
memory method is
a system of
“memory code “that makes
people remember perfectly
whatever you want
to remembered (Buzan, 2006:22).
Arsyad
divides types of
flash card, one
of which is
a picture card (containing images
– images) are
useful to train
students to spell
and enrich vocabulary
(2011).Flash card is any of a set of cards bearing information, as word or
number, on eitheror both sides, used in classroom drills or in private
study.The teaching process will
be more fun
if the teacher
has competency to
develop his/her own ways
or techniques according
to his/her need,
the situation, and
the classroom condition.
Based on the
explanation above the
researcher attempts was
conducted a research entitled
“The Effect of Applying Mnemonic Method
