Abstract
IMPROVING THE STUDENTS’ ENGLISH VOCABULARY THROUGH PICTURES IN GRADE VIII A OF SMP N 10 YOGYAKARTAIN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2008/2009 by: TATI APRIYANTI 032224047 ABSTRACT The objective of this research study was to improve the students’ vocabulary mastery in the English teaching and learning process through pictures. This action research study was based on the preliminary observations. The problems which were derived from those observations were not only from the students, but also from the teacher. The problems were the low curiosity of the students to know something new and the low motivation to speak English, the classroom management, and the use of the teaching media. The study consisted of two cycles. The data were obtained by observing the teaching and learning process, interviewing the students of class VIII A, and holding discussions with the principal, the English teacher, and the critical friend. The instruments for collecting the data were a digital camera, observation guidelines, and interview guidelines. The data collected were qualitative. The data were analyzed from the field notes and interview transcripts during the research. To avoid the subjectivity of the analysis, the triangulation procedure was carried out. All involved members previously mentioned gave their perception to analyze the data together. It was done to fulfill the reliability and the validity of the data, namely, democratic, process, outcome, catalytic and dialogic validity. The results of this study showed that the students’ English vocabulary improve through pictures. There were successful and unsuccessful results. In Cycle I, the successful results were power-point slides, photographs, semantic table and word puzzle. Using the classroom English, various activities and respecting students were also successful. Meanwhile the cards were not successful. It was because the cards were distributed first before the explanation. In Cycle II, all actions given produced the successful result.
