INTRODUCTION
A.
Background
English is one of international languages, which is used throughout the world
and also English is used in many fields of life such as : in Politics,
Economics, Social and Education. Therefore,
English as a
language in international communication
is clearly needed by
many learners to
deliver thought and
interact in a
variety of situation.
English is one of the foreign languages for Indonesian
students, that must be learnt in school since kindergarten level until
University level. English is considered as
a difficult subject
for the Indonesian
students, because English
is completely different from
Indonesian language being
look at from
the system of
structure, pronunciation and vocabulary.
English
teaching involves of
four language skills,
they are Listening, Speaking, Reading
and Writing. In
teaching and learning
a language, there
are four aspects that support
four language skill above such as : grammar, vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation
that are also
taught in English
teaching and learning
process
Vocabulary is one of important aspects in teaching language,
as stated by Edward (1997) Vocabulary
is one of
the important factor
in all language
teaching, student must
continually be learning words as they learn structure and as they practice
sound system.
Vocabulary is an important element in a language, besides
pronunciation and grammatical rules. Teaching vocabulary is not easy for the
teacher. According to Wright, (in Lynne Cameron, 2001:12), a teacher needs to
remember that children may still be finding it difficult to use pronunciation
correctly in their first language to control reference across a sequence of
events and plot actions, and not to demand unreasonable skills in the foreign
language. One implication is that when children learn a foreign language at the
earliest stages they have not developed skills and learning abilities in the
first language. The teacher needs to choose one of the techniques, which is the
best for students. Good vocabulary teaching techniques would interest the
learners.
Teaching vocabulary, a teacher must be able to make the
students excited and enjoyable. This means,
she should place a higher priority on having fun in her teaching, to do
this she can use environment in the learning process. Tree Diagram is a easy
way to ask students to deeply process words by organizing them and making their
meanings visual and more concrete.
Based on the explanation above the writer will apply the tree
diagram to improve the students’ vocabulary under the titile “Improving the
Students’ Vocabulary by using Tree Diagram at the (school)”
