Chapter I
Background
In learning English including writing, reading, speaking or listening of
course it we need to understand about vocabulary first. Vocabulary is
very important thing because it can listing of the words used in some
enterprise, a language user's knowledge of words and the system of
techniques or symbols serving as a means of expression. Vocabulary also
the set of words they are familiar with in a language. A vocabulary
usually grows and evolves with age, and serves as a useful and
fundamental tool for communication and acquiring knowledge.
A usually alphabetized and explained collection of words e.g. of a , or
prepared for a specific purpose, often for learning; The collection of
words a person knows and uses; The stock of words used in a particular
field; The words of a language collectively. Refers to the words we must
know to communicate effectively.
So, the teachers have to make some ways so that the student’s motivation
to learn English is increase. There are many ways to make the students
are interesting in learning vocabulary. One of the ways is using Word
Walls.
Statement of problem
Many learners are not interested to learn about vocabulary. They think
that the vocabulary in English is difficult to understand. They also
think that the pronunciation of English vocabulary is confused. And the
biggest problems of them are they still confused about the meaning of
the word.
Vocabulary is the basic of writing, speaking, reading and listening. So,
if they want to be able to mastery all of them, they have to know from
the basic. It is vocabulary.
CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
Improving student’s Vocabularies about Verb by Using Word Walls
Traditionally, the teaching of vocabulary above elementary levels was
mostly incidental, limited to presenting new items as they appeared in
reading or sometimes listening texts. This indirect teaching of
vocabulary assumes that vocabulary expansion will happen through the
practice of other language skills, which has been proved not enough to
ensure vocabulary expansion. Nowadays it is widely accepted that
vocabulary teaching should be part of the syllabus, and taught in a
well-planned and regular basis. Some authors, led by Lewis (1993) argue
that vocabulary should be at the centre of language teaching, because
‘language consists of grammaticalize lexis, not lexicalised grammar’.
There are several aspects of lexis that need to be taken into account
when teaching vocabulary. In my opinion the most important aspect of
vocabulary teaching for advanced learners is to foster learner
independence so that learners will be able to deal with new lexis and
expand their vocabulary beyond the end of the course. Therefore guided
discovery, contextual guesswork and using dictionaries should be the
main ways to deal with discovering meaning.
Robert Lado (1955) talked about patterns of difficulty in vocabulary
teaching. He highlighted key issues related to words, the native
language factor and about patterns. He even analyzed Spanish, French and
Mexican patterns of difficulty in their respective vocabulary items. He
stated that while dealing with vocabulary one should take into account
three important aspects of words - their form, their meaning and their
distribution - and one should consider various kinds of classes of words
in the function of the language. He said that the forms, meaning
distribution and classification of words are different in different
languages. He revealed that these differences might lead to vocabulary
problems.
In teaching vocabulary of course there are many methods that can use. One of them is using word walls.
Teaching 70 vocabulary about verb by using Word walls
A word wall is literacy tool composed of an organized (typically in
alphabetical order) collection of words which are displayed in large
visible letters on a wall, bulletin board, or other display surface in a
classroom. The word wall is designed to be an interactive tool for
students or others to use, and contains an array of words that can be
used during writing and/or reading.
Although typically associated with reading/writing instruction, word
walls are becoming commonplace in classrooms for all subject areas due
to their ability to foster phonemic awareness, display connections
throughout word "families" (such as "-ick" words), serve as a
support/reference for students, as well as create meaningful/memorable
experiences with new vocabulary words.
Due to their flexible nature and ability to "grow" alongside the
students, word walls can be used in classrooms ranging from pre-school
through high school. Word walls are considered to be interactive and
collaborative tools, as they are a student-created and student-centered
artifact. Many variations of the word wall are currently in existence,
including those featuring illustrations of the words and color-coded
lists. As part of a reading instruction program, teachers designate one
wall (or part of a wall) in the classroom for displaying commonly used
vocabulary and/or sight words in large print so that all students can
read the words from their desks. The students can then refer to the wall
during literacy exercises. The large visual nature of Word Walls helps
students to naturally gain familiarity with these high frequency words,
as well as to gain reinforcement of vocabulary. Word Walls should be
interactive and dynamic tools. This means that students can suggest
words to add to the wall throughout the school year. As new words are
learned in class, the teacher should also initiate additions to the Word
Wall.
Some activities to improve student’s vocabularies by using word walls
Here are some activities for you to use with your word wall:
• Point, Clap, Chant.
The teacher states the word, one student points to the word on the word
wall and then all students chant the letters of the word and clap for
each letter.
• Rhymes.
The students take their notebooks out and when the teacher states the
word, the student tries to write 1-3 rhyming words in their notebook.
The teacher then lets the students say their rhyming words.
