1.1.BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Vocabulary is very important in language. When we learn the language it means that
we learn the words of the language. Vocabulary can be defined, toughly as, the words as
a phrase or combination of the words. However, a new term of vocabulary may be more

Vocabulary is one of the language components that can affect macro skills. Some
definition of vocabulary is proposed by some experts. Nunan (1999: 101) states that
vocabulary is a list of target language words. Furthermore, Jackson and Amvela (2000:
11) say that the terms vocabulary, lexis, and lexicon are synonymous. In addition,
Richards and Schmidt (2002: 580) state that vocabulary is a set of lexeme, including

vocabulary can the people to express the ideas precisely. Because of the reason the
students must be learn about the way how they can make their vocabulary ability will be
increasing. One of the way to teaching vocabulary is use the media to teach it, as like
use moving pictures and sound to tell stories or inform (help people to learn). People in
every part of the world watch movies as a type of entertainment, a way to have fun. For
some people, fun movies can mean movies that make them laugh, while for others it can
mean movies that make them cry, or feel afraid. Most movies are made so that they can
be shown on big screens at movie theatres. After movies are shown on movie screens for
a period of time (ranging from a few weeks to several months), movies are shown on pay
television or cable television, and sold or rented on DVD disks or videocassette tapes, so
that people can watch the movies at home. You can also download or stream movies.

2.1 VOCABULARY
explanations of their meanings. Vocabularyis very crucial in language learning and oneof
Vocabulary is the total number of words in a language; all the words known to a
person or used in a particular book, subject, etc; a list of words with their meaning,
especially one that accompanies a textbook (Hornby, 8 1995: 1331). Those definitions
show that vocabulary is the first element that the English learners should learn in order to
master English well besides the other English components and skills. The vocabulary of
language always changes and grows. As life become more complex, people devise or
borrow new words to describe man‟s activities. No one knows exact numbers of words
in the English vocabulary today. From the interpretation above, we can conclude that
vocabulary is the core component of language proficiency that consists of a set of lexeme,
7
including single words, compound words, idioms; provides much of the basis for how
well learners speak, read, listen,and write; and has similarities with the term „lexis‟ and
proficiency. The objective of the vocabulary mastery is to make the students have a good
language proficiency in the language skills. It depends on the quality and quantity of the
vocabulary that they have mastered. The richer the vocabulary that can be mastered by
the students, they will get the better skill that can be reached in using language. Talking
about vocabulary, Lehr, Osborn, and Hiebert (in Kamil and Hiebert, 2005: 2-3) define
vocabulary as knowledge of words and words meaning in both oral and print language
and in productive and receptive forms. More specifically, they use it to refer to “the kind
of word that students must know to read increasingly demanding text with
means knowing about meaning, word use, word formation, and word grammar.

Advanced learners can generally communicate well, having learnt all the basic
structure of the language. However, they need to broaden their vocabulary to express
The students might even have receptive knowledge of wider range of vocabulary,
which means they can recognize the item and recognize its meaning. Nevertheless, their
productive use of a wide range of vocabulary is normally limited and this is one of the
One classification involves the three types of reading vocabulary found in textbooks
(Richard, 1999:314);
c. The third type, technical vocabulary, it consists of words that are used only
in a particular area.
a. High-Frequency words

There is a small group of high frequency which very important because these
words cover a very large proportion of the running words in spoken and written texts and
b. Academic words
The text is from an academic textbook and contains many words that are common in
different kinds of academic text: policy, phase, adjusted, sustained. Typically these words
c. Technical words
The text contains some words that are very closely related to the topic and subject of the
text. These words include indigenous, regeneration, Pod carp, beech, rimy and timber.
These words are reasonably common in this topic area but not so common elsewhere. As
soon as it can be seen that the learners know that topic is being dealt with. Technical
words like these typically cover about 5% of the running words in a text.
d. Low-frequency words
This group included words like zoned, pioneering, and perpetuity, aired and pastoral.
They make up over 5% of the words in an academic text. There are thousands of them in
the language, by far the biggest group of words. They consist of technical words for other
subject areas, proper nouns, words that almost got the high-frequency list and words that

Based on the explanation above, it can be said that the kinds of vocabulary are: high

a. Active vocabulary
Active vocabulary is used in oral and written expression by the students. The words that
the students understand well enough they use the words effectively in both speaking and
writing.
b. Passive vocabulary

Passive vocabulary is deals with words the students will recognize understand in a context
that helps them recall the word meaning. The students usually apply passive vocabulary
From the explanation above, the types of vocabulary can be classified into two these are
active and passive vocabulary. Active vocabulary used in speaking and writing skills.

understand people from other countries, increasing your working vocabulary allows you
to understand those who may share your mother tongue but also have a special “dialect”
of their own.
3. Helps you understand what you read. Vocabulary not only aids you in understanding
other people, it is also essential in comprehending the books and articles you read.
5. Bolsters your ability to grasp ideas and think more logically and incisively. While we
often think of our thoughts as shaping our words, it works the other way around as well.

Based on the theories above, it seems that the study of vocabulary is one of important
thing in teaching foreign language. Students often instinctively recognize the importance
2.2 MEDIA
Media in a process of teaching is not a new thing for the teacher. Most of the teachers
use media to help them giving particular information to the students. Media itself
according to Azhar (2011:4) is a tool that to convey or deliver the message of learning.
He also said that media is a component of learning resource or physical vehicle that
contain instructional material on students’ environment that can stimulate student to learn.
There are a lot of media in teaching and learning processes. Nasution (2005:102)

2.3 MOVIE
In this study, the researcher use movie as media of teaching English vocabulary. A
movie is one of the visual aids that can be used in a class, it makes lessons more fun.
But movies or film can also teach people about history, science, human behavior and
any other subjects. Some films combine entertainment with instruction, makes the
learning process more enjoyable. In all its forms, cinema is an art as well as a business,
and those who make motion pictures take great pride in their creation ( Mery:2011).

etc.

Meanwhile, Azhar (2011:49) define movie as picture in a frame where frame by frame
is projected through the projector lens mechanically so that the pictures in the screen looks
alive. Jesse (2007) states that movie is a photographic record of an artistic performance,
Based on the definition of movie I can conclude that movie is a photographic record
of history, science, and human behaviour that projected through the projecter lens and
Nasution (2005:104) states that the advantages of using movie in teaching and

According to Azhar (2011:50), he states that the disadvantages of using movie in
2) When the movie showed, the pictures will keep changing making all students
are not able follow the information given through the movie.
3) Movies not always approriate with the needs and desired learning objective.
This is the reason why the writer is interested in taking up the title of the research,
because movie gives a new enjoyable atmosphere when they are learning in class.
Altough this procument movie has disadvantages, the writer has some planning to
overcome the problem by doing strategic stopping and rewind giving student a chance to
receive the information given from the movie and remove some approriate scene shown
in the movie so the students’ concetration will not wane if they watch for too long.
classrooms that use movie as a medium of education, usually hold a number of 40-50
students. With that number of students, it is still possible to observe the movie properly.
This means it will not disturb the learning process. To help students study through English
program, seriously considered. in addition, the teacher factor in the media also plays a
very important role, because it is very influential in communicating with children and
success or failure of the program depends entirely on the person who brought the show

to know students’ respond on strategy use by researcher. To give a clear understanding,
1. Pre-test
Pre-test consists of 10 items in the form of multiple choices. In pre test researcher
take the question from a narrative story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves.
2. Post-test
Post-Test is done after pre-test are conducted. The aim is to measure the students’
achievement and to compare the result between pre and post-test that would be processed
into data. The test consist of 10 items same with pre test but the question take from movie
3. Questionaire
The questionaire will be conducted after the two activities aboveare completely
done. The purpose only to gain data from the students’ response about the teaching
strategy applied. The questionnaire consist of five questions and it is in the form of
multiple choices.
The students’ success and failure in doing the activities plan above will be assessed
by referring to the criterion issued by department of education and culture. The criterion
said that a student could be said to pass the test if he/she could solve 65% of the whole
problems.
5. Data analysis
26
The data analysis is use to draw the conclusion of the research data. This study
consists of three activities in which it use a method of quantitative to process the data.
Then the researcher would compare them, in order to know the result of this study,
whether or not, the increase in the students’ results happen in this study. Below is the
formula to get valid result, the researcher use to process the data gained:
P = R X 100 %
