In teaching English as Foreign Language (EFL), there are several components

which have an important part, such as grammar, pronunciation, Vocaubalry, etc. By
considering those components, vocabulary is one of the language components that
espouse the process of language learning.

in the field, the young learners are difficult speaking English with their friends
because they
don’t have enough vocabulary capasity. The problem appears because the
teacher’s teaching technique
is not apposite with the students learning aim. The teacher often asks the students to
memorize the
vocabulary by using flashcard, words list, etc. As a consequence, the young learners just
know the
meaning of the vocabulary without knowing the used of each word. During speaking
with their friends,
the young learners will get problematic with unknown words because they are not
taught to understand
the context of the words. Furthermore, the problem can occur on reading activity. While
the students get
the difficult words, they will be difficult to predict the unknown words meaning.
Vocabulary is one of the central components in a language included in English.
According to Luppescu and Day (1993: 266)," Building a large vocabulary is essential
when learning
English because people with large vocabularies are more proficient than those with
limited
vocabularies.
 In the context of EFL, It also has big role in learning foreign language especially in
English as one of the foreign languages which has been an international language.
Vocabulary becomes
a necessary language part because Vocabulary can be used to know the name of things,
activities,
concepts, etc.
