INTRODUCTION

A.

The background

Education is a fundamental aspect of life for a nation to build a country. Education in school is involved teachers as educators and students as learners; it is realized by the interaction of learning and teaching or learning process. In the context of this implementation, teachers with a conscious plan teaching activities in a systematic and guided by a set of rules and a plan of education that is packaged in a curriculum.

The curriculum continually refined to improve the quality-oriented education and advancement of national education systems, seem not yet to be realized to the fullest. One of the problems faced in education in Indonesia is the weakness of the learning process. Based on real observations in the field, the learning process in schools nowadays less enhance students' creativity, especially in learning English. Many educators use conventional methods monotonically in learning activities in class, therefore it causes an atmosphere of learning seems rigid and is dominated by the teacher.

The learning process is done by many educators now is tending to target curriculum materials, more emphasis on memorization rather than understanding concepts. It can be seen from the learning activities in class that is always dominated by the teacher. In the delivery of material, usually teachers use lecture method, where students just sit down, record, and listen to what it conveys and few opportunities for students in asking questions. Thus, the atmosphere is not conducive to learning in order students become passive.

To improving the ability to understand English language learning, teachers need someone who professional, skilled and creative by using one of the picture media. It expects that students understand and develop students' ability to develop well. Thus, the teaching objectives can be achieved by a good and optimal.

Based on explanation above, the writer will take an example of vocabulary learning, where students in memorizing vocabulary faced many challenges. Vocabulary holds significant role in order to understand whole sentences, as we know vocabulary is group of words which can be interpreted its meaning and useful in kind of language, in other words it usually defined group of words which can be understood to make a sentences.( ).

Therefore, in this writing the writer tries to examine about picture media in Junior High School. Because by learning vocabulary will make students easier to make a sentence.

The way to learn vocabulary is to use picture media method because by this method teaching learning process will easy and will be fun for students and the teacher. Besides, by

using picture media will be easy to remember the lesson because more practices and enjoyable. The researcher chooses this method because it is suitable for teaching foreign language especially in English.

The researcher hopes this method can improve the students ability in learning vocabulary. For example, when a topic of learning is about the jungle, and then the teacher will show some pictures related to jungle itself, it can be picture of trees, river, animals, etc. After showing the picture, the teacher will pronounce it one by one and the student will repeat it. Therefore, teaching learning process will make them fun and enjoyable.

Based on the description above, the researcher is interested in studying the research by the title MEMORIZING VOCABULARY BY USING PICTURE MEDIA AT CLASS VIII SMP XX

B. The Formulation of the problem Based on the background above, the problem of this study formulated in the following question: 1. How to use picture media in memorizing vocabulary At Class VIII Junior High School XX ? 2. What are the difficulties of memorizing in memorizing vocabulary by using picture media? 3. How is the result of teaching vocabulary by using picture media?

C. The Limitation of the problem

To make this research focuses, the writer limits the problems in analyzing how to memorize vocabulary by using picture media at class VIII SMP XX , as mentioned bellow; 1. The using of picture media in memorizing vocabulary at Class VIII Junior High School XX 2. The difficulties of memorizing vocabulary by using picture media. 3. The result of teaching vocabulary by using picture media.

D. The Objective of Research 1. The Objective of Research a. To know teaching vocabulary process by using picture media b. To know students problem in vocabulary process by using picture media c. To find the result of teaching vocabulary by using picture media

E. The Framework of Theory 1. Memory Memory is soul power to receive, store and reproduce impressions. There are three elements in the act of memory, impressions is receive, store, and reproduce. With the ability to recall in humans, there is an indication that humans are able to store and recreate something that never experienced. However, does not mean that all who experienced it will ever remain entirely in memory, therefore memory is a limited capability. Abu Ahmadi (2009 : 73)

 Galotti (2004) mendefinisikan memori sebagai suatu proses kognitif yang terdiri atas serangkaian proses, yakni : penyimpanan (storage), retensi, dan pengumpulan informasi (information gathering). Sebagai suatu proses, memori menunjukkan suatu mekanisme dinamik yang diasosiasikan dengan penyimpanan (storing), pengambilan (retaining), dan pemanggilan kembali (retrieving) informasi mengenai pengalaman yang lalu (Bjorklund, Schneider, & Hernndez Blasi, 2003; Crowder, 1976, dalam Stenberg, 2006). Galotti (2004) defines memory as a cognitive process, which consist of a series of processes, namely: storage, retention, and the collection of information. As a process, memory suggests a dynamic mechanism associated with the storing, shooting, and recalling information on experience. Irawanto (1999) memory as the ability to store information so it can be used again in the future. (http://repository.usu.ac.id/bitstream/123456789/18437/4/Chapter %20II.pdf) Memory in the abstract and most general sense, that characteristic of living organism, in victue of which that they experience leaves behind effects which modify future expriences and behavior, invirtus of which they have a history, and that history is recorded in themselve; than charatestic which underlines all learning, the essential feature of which is retention; in a narrow sense it covers recall and recognition what we call remembering but there may be learning withot remembering (Drever, 1960: 165). With what is argued by these drever illustrates that memory is not only limited to the matter of remembering it. Woodworth and maqueis (1957) as also point it out. Memory consists in remembering what has previously been learned. It would be better, however to say that memory consist in learning, retainingand remembering, what has previously been learned.... we have thus three main topics under the general head of memory: learning, retention, remembering (woodworth dan marquis, 1957:542)

2.

Definition of Media Azhar arsyad (2003:3-4) provides a sense of the media by citing the opinion of several experts in their fields, including the definition according by Gerlach & Ely (1971) says that the media in general is human, material, or events that establish the conditions that make students able to acquire knowledge, skills, or attitudes. AECT (Association of Education and Communication technology, 1977) defines as all forms of media and channels used to give messages or information. Meanwhile, Heinich et al (1982) defines media as an intermediary that delivers information between source and receiver. From some sense it is understandable that the media are things that can help Submitting a message from its message (the teacher) to the recipient of the message (students). Thus the media serves as a means of delivering a message from the giver to the receiver.

3. The function of Media in Learning Utilization of instructional media in teaching component as part of efforts to enhance the process of interaction with teachers and colorations students in learning and teaching environment, the function of media to stimulate learning. by nana Sudjana (1991) by which: 1. The use of media in teaching and learning is not an additional function, but has its own function as a tool to achieve effective teaching and learning situations. 2. Use of instructional media is an integral part of the overall situation of teaching. That the medium of instruction is one element that must be developed teacher.

3. 4.

Media in teaching, its use is integral to the purpose and content of lessons. The use of media in teaching rather than as mere entertainment alt used just complete the process of learning to better attract the attention of students.

5.

The use of media in teaching more mainstream to accelerate the learning process and assist students in capturing the sense of a given teacher.

6.

The use of media in teaching preferred to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.

7. When the function is applied to teaching media in teaching and learning, then seen its role as follows. The media used by teachers as an explanation of the statement of a

material that teachers convey Media can bring problem weeks to be further reviewed and resolved by

the students in the learning process. At least teachers can acquire the media as a source of questions or the stimulation of student learning. Media as a source of learning for students. Media as a tool concrete

contain ingredients that must be learned students, either individually or in groups. Concreteness media properties will help the teacher in teaching and learning activities.

4. Picture of media

Picture is the most common medium used by people. Therefore, this medium is easy to understand and enjoyable, easily obtained and are found everywhere, and many give an explanation when compared to the verbal.

Presentation of learning materials by using pictures, of course is the main attraction for learners. So the use of images must be in accordance with the learning material is taught, so that the desired goal is reached. In addition, the use of images in the learning process depends on the creation and darting through the initiative of teaching itself, provided that the image of the fine arts and in accordance with the purpose of learning. a. Excess picture media that is: 1. Properties of concrete, more realistic shows on the subject matter when compared with purely verbal language. 2. images can overcome space and time

3. images can overcome the limitations of sensory observations 4. clarify a dish problem in any field and for any age level 5. This media is cheap, easily obtained and used without requiring special equipment. b. The weakness of the media image that is: 1. greater emphasis on perception in vision 2. objects are too complex, less effective for learning 3. size is very limited for large groups

In addition, media images as a medium of instruction, must meet three criteria, namely: 1. Must be authentic, meaning that the picture should be honestly described the situation as is in accordance with the original object. 2. simple, meaning that the composition must be sufficiently clear indicate points play in the image 3. Relative size, that is, not too big or too small, but tailored to the needs.

5. Vocabulary a.Definition of vocabulary

Vocabulary is one of important elements in learning of language, because without vocabularies, we can not understand enough to speak and make the communication with other if we do not supply the words in our conversation. vocabulary knowledge is fundamental to read comprehension.

(http://www.ucf.edu/.startwordB.htm,2004/15.00/5/1/2011)

Vocabulary is all the words used by a certainly person or certain work. Vocabulary is a list of word with their meaning (Websters English dictionary, 2006:522)

Vocabulary is a list or collection of words and phrases; alphabetically arranged and explained of the fined; or sum or stock of words employed by a language, group, individual or work in a field of knowledge. (Francelexander,2004/15.00/5/1/2011/http/www.knowladgestorm.co m)

Vocabulary is one of language component, which needed the learners to develop their skills. For the second language learners, acquiring vocabulary take an important role. Earle W. Brockman (1971; 1) Once a student has mastered the fundamental grammatical patterns of a language, his next task is to master its vocabulary or at least that part of its vocabulary that he needs. Nobody ever learns all the words in any language. Renny Ur (1996; 60) Vocabulary can be defined, roughly, as the words we teach in the foreign language. However, a new item of vocabulary may be more than a single word. Nasrul Mahmud (1997; 1) a good vocabulary goes hand in hand with ability to think logically and to learn easily and quickly, it makes school work easier and more rewarding. David Nunan (1999; 56) Vocabulary is more than lists of target language words. As part of the language system, vocabulary is intimately interrelated with grammar. So, it means that vocabulary is the main component in learning a language and every student has to enrich their vocabulary with different ways to make their better language.
