CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents and discusses the background of the Study, Scope

and Limitation of study, Formulation of the problem, Significance of study and

Organization of study

A. Background of study

In social life, communication is very important and crucial among

human beings. It is as fundamental as the physical requirements for food and

shelter. And it is used by humans to communicate and interact with each other.

Language is a tool man uses to represent ideas in sentences. Through the

language, people can express their ideas, thoughts and feelings about

knowledge, technology, culture, art, of many things in the world that surround

us. We can say that in the lifetime of humans, language is important. They use

language for the purpose of life in general. Communication is very important to

make their lives more meaningful. As a result, they need a means of

communication. Related to communication, language is much needed for

people, so the writer will give the definitions of language.

Hornby (1987:473) states that “Language is human and non-instinctive

method of communicating ideas, feelings and desires by means of a system

Page 15: AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY STUDENTS IN …repository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/3111/1... · 2013-04-11 · Question tags: (1) the students should pay attention

of sounds and sound symbols”.1 Kretch et al. (1962:275) also describe that

“communication—the interchange of meanings among people-occurs mainly

through language and is possible to the degree to which individuals have

common cognition, want, and attitude”.2

From the definitions of language above, the writer summarize that

language is proper for communication. We can imagine how strange the world

without language. People cannot express their thoughts and feelings to each

other. Communication will go smoothly if the speakers and the hearers share

the same language. In other word, there is no communication in the world,

unless they use their language.

On the importance of language, Sidney Greenbaum said the schools

should teach students language for a variety of reasons.3 First, an

understanding of nature and functioning of language is a part of general

knowledge that students should acquire about themselves and the world they

live in. Secondly, linguistics (the study of language in all its aspects) is a

central discipline for the social sciences and humanities.

One of the languages which is taught in the schools of our country is

English language. English is one of international languages that has an

important role in the world. It is widely studied and used as a tool of

communication among people all over the world. English becomes one of the

important subject matters taught at school. In Indonesia, English is considered

as the first foreign language and becomes a compulsory subject to be learned

by all students from the elementary school or even in the Kindergarten up to

the University level.

Realizing how important English is, the government stated in the

1994 curriculum that :

“Bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa asing pertama di Indonesia yang

dianggap penting untuk tujuan penyerapan dan pengembanagan pengetahuan

teknologi dan seni budaya serta pembinaan hubungan dengan bangsa-bangsa

lain”.4

“English is the first foreign language in Indonesia which is

considered very important in order to study and develop technology and

culture, to build relation with other nations” (Translation by the writer).

If we talk about language, consequently we also talk about its system,

rules and all about its systematic forms. In English language there is a grammar

as rules and system underlying the principles that describe the structure of

language. In order to have good English, students have to master the four basic

language skills: i.e listening, speaking, reading and writing. Beside the four

skills , there are sub skills : grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. One of the

sub skills that should be mastered in learning English by the students is

grammar. They have to master the grammar properly because grammar is

needed even in communicative ways.

Grammar consists of form and rules, as Celce-Murcia stated that: “

Grammar is about form and one way to teach form is given students rules,

however grammar is about much more than form, and its teaching is ill served

if students are simply given rules.5

Craig Hancock said that grammar is the natural, inherent, meaning,

making system of the language, a system that governs the way words come

Foreign Language, (USA: Heile & Heile Publisher, 2001)p.251

together to form meanings: grammar is also the study of that system, the

various theories or perspectives that attempt to understand and describe it. 6

Grammar is one of the language aspects which is taught to every

language learners. By learning grammar, someone can communicate his or her

message clearly and precisely. The statement above shows that grammar is a

basic knowledge to learn about English sentence structure and also keep an

important role in learning and understanding the English language. Although

English has been taught since the First grade of elementary school, even in the

Kindergarten; many Indonesian students still do not understand or/and cannot

apply the rules.

Sometimes students who learn English find many problems, especially

with grammar. In English grammar, there are many aspects that students have

to know. Even though students have learnt grammar completely; they still find

difficulties in differentiating the usage of each function. One of the aspects in

grammar is sentence. Generally, there are three basic forms of English

sentence. They are positive, negative and interrogative sentences. Interrogative

sentence is a sentence that is used in questions. According to Azar (1989:

A16), there are four types of questions. They are Yes-No questions,

Information questions, Negative questions and Question-Tags.7

In learning question-tags it is actually related to the tenses, as far as

the students understand about tenses, it is quite possible that the students will

get better understanding about question-tags‟. Question-tags do not use the

form of question word such as: who, what, when, where, why, whose, how,

etc

According to Michael Swan “question-tags is an expression like isn‟t

it? Or don‟t you? (consisting of auxiliary verb + pronoun subject) put on to

the end of a sentence, for example: It‟s a nice day today, isn‟t it?8

Moreover, Stannard W.Allen in living English structure stated that “A

very common device in conversation is that of making a statement and at

once asking the listener to confirm it. In English this has to be practiced, as

we have a variable form: Positive statement, negative tag; negative statement,

positive tag. The auxiliaries repeat themselves in the tag”.9

Some students still make mistakes and find difficulties in identifying

question-tags. Here are some examples of wrong sentences that are often

made by the students in using question-tags in affirmative sentences”

- He plays football well, isn‟t he?

- Tommy is an actor, isn‟t it?

The sentences above are wrong, they should say:

- He plays football well, doesn‟t he?

- Tommy is an actor, isn‟t he?

Furthermore, the students often make mistakes in using question-tags in

negative sentences, for example:

- Mary isn‟t here, does she?

- You like him, are you?10

From the typical mistakes we know that students are still confused in

making the forms of question-tags, and they are also confused about the use of

question tag in sentences. They are still confused to find what tense or verb or

pronoun to be used in the tag.

As the writer found when teaching practice (P2KT) in SMPN 4 Kota

Tangerang Selatan did. They still find difficulties in using question-tags.

Because they are still hard to use the question tags correctly, as a yield it will

lead the students to produce many mistakes in their learning but it is logically

acceptable. The teacher must be aware about this problem and prevent them

from making the same mistake by analyzing student‟s problem itself.

Based on the background above, the writer is interested in writing about

“ AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY THE

STUDENTS IN LEARNING QUESTION-TAGS” (A case study at Second

Year of SMPN 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan). The writer chooses this title

because there are many students still faced difficulty in learning Question-

Tags. By observing the students difficulties in learning Question-Tags, the

writer tries to identify and analyze them. The writer hopes it can make the

teaching and learning activities better and can give a new idea for teacher how

to teach Question-Tags well.

B. Scope and Limitation of Problem

The writer limits this study on the analysis on the difficulties faced by

the second year students of State Junior High School 4 Kota Tangerang

Selatan. The problems will be limited some points: (1) kind of tenses such as

Present Tense, Past Tense, Present Perfect Tense, Present Continuous Tense,

and Plural Word, Verb „be‟, Subject I am, Subject That, Subject There,

Request Sentence and Imperative Sentence. (2) the difficulties faced by the

Second Grade students of SMPN 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan.

C. Formulation of Problem

Based on the discussion above, the writer would like to formulate the

problem as : ”Do the students face some difficulties in learning question-

tags?”. This general question can be formulated into more specific question as

follows:

1. What are the difficulties faced by the Second Grade students of

SMPN 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan in learning Question-Tags?

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

In this chapter the writer gives a theoretical framework that supports the

study. It consists of: Grammar (Definition of Grammar, Scope of Grammar and

Teaching Grammar), Question-Tag (Definition of question-tag, form of question-

tag, Use of question-tag and Difficulties in learning question tag)

A. Grammar

1. Definition of grammar

The word grammar has several meanings which are given by

different experts. There is no fixed definition of grammar.

The meaning of Grammar in Oxford dictionary is the rules in the

language for the changing the form of words and combining them into

sentences.1

Harmer stated almost the same as that of Oxford dictionary.2 He says

that grammar of the language is the description of the ways in which words

can change their forms and can be combined into sentences in that language.

Harmer defines the grammar of language is the description of the

ways in which words can change their forms and can be combined into

sentences in that language.3

Hancock stated that grammar is the natural, inherent, meaning-

making system of the language, a system that governs the way words come

together to form meanings; grammar is also the study of that system, the

various theories or perspectives that attempt to understand and describe it.4

Meanwhile, Thornbury states that grammar is partly the study of

what forms (or structure) are possible in a language. 5 And Burton (1982:1)

says more complex that grammar is not a collection of hard and fast rules. It

is more flexible and, therefore, more useful than the rule itself.6

Cook and Suter (1980:2) also state that grammar used a writer

description of the rules of the language and a set of rules by which people

speak and write. 7

Veit (1986:1) defines the term grammar as what enables someone of

understand every word he is reading, and to speak and write words and

sentences of his own. 8 Consequently, by using good grammar, the sentence

of our own will be understandable.

11

11

Moreover, Williams says (1970:13) a grammar is the description that

represents our ability to speak in a certain way. 9

This definition concludes

that grammar focuses on the development of grammatical systems as a

means for people to interact with each other.

From those definitions the writer summarize that grammar is the rule

of a language, which will help us to understand and also help us to produce

utterance spoken or written.

2. Scope of Grammar

Celce-Murcia stated in her book “ Teaching English as a Second or

Foreign Language” that she described about Three-Dimensional Grammar

framework as bellow:10

Figure 2.1

Three dimensional of grammar

Our framework takes the form of a pie chart. Its shape helps us to

make salient that in dealing with the complexity of grammar, three

dimensions must concern us: structure and form, semantic or meaning and

the pragmatic conditions governing use.11

company, 1970),p.13

12

12

After perceiving the explanation above, the writer summarize that

grammar consists of three points namely form, meaning and use. The first is

form. Grammar has many forms and each form has its function and

characteristics. The second is meaning. Meaning is important in grammar in

that because it helps a writer or a speaker understand what s/he says or

writes. Consequently, the learners need to learn not only what forms are

possible, but also what particular forms will express their particular

meaning. The third is the usage. We must know when we use grammar,

where, when, and how to use grammar. Because it is also an important thing

as important as meaning and form. Consequently the three dimensional

grammar above is related to each other.

3. Teaching grammar

If we talk about teaching grammar, in the first we must know the

reason why we teach grammar?. The first, languages have structural

features that are complicated and hard to learn. For learners to master them,

adequate experience, understanding and use of these features are necessary.

Second, grammar has not gone away because we have discovered

lexis. In English, relative clauses follow their nouns; prepositions can come

at the ends of clauses; adverbs cannot generally be put between a verb and

its object; there are two „present‟ tenses which are used in different

situations. These are not facts about words – they are facts, which many

students need to learn, about general linguistic categories. It is true that

some wide-ranging structural generalisations have lexical components –

English question formation can be presented as if it was a fact about the

verb „do‟, or perfective aspect as if it was a fact about „have‟. However, this

merely amounts to some rather unconstructive relabelling, and tells us

nothing new that will help in teaching these difficult structural points. And

while children arguably learn the grammar of their mother tongues by

starting with lexical „chunks‟ which are later analysed and generalised from,

Page 26: AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY STUDENTS IN …repository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/3111/1... · 2013-04-11 · Question tags: (1) the students should pay attention

13

13

there is no good evidence that this is a generally viable strategy in second-

language learning.12

After we know the reason why we teach grammar, then we discuss

the definition of grammar. Celce-Murcia states that teaching grammar

means enabling language students to use linguistic forms accurately,

meaningfully, and appropriately. 13

It is important to establish the fact that 'grammar teaching' can mean

different things to different people. It may mean simply teaching to a

grammar syllabus but otherwise not making any reference to grammar in

the classroom at all. On the other hand it may mean teaching to a

communicative syllabus. But dealing with grammar question that arise in

the course of doing communicative activities. 14

Jeremy Harmer stated our aim of teaching grammar should be to

ensure that students are communicatively efficient with the grammar they

have at their level. 15

The role of grammar teaching is to provide some controls in the

early stages in the English acquisition. At a later stage it can help to guide

students away from permanently internalizing wrong generalizations about

English' The more mature students will also be interested in learning about

the language for its own sake.

Any generalization about the best way to teach grammar-what kinds

of teaching procedures should be used and in what order will have to take

into account both the wide range of knowledge and skills that need to be

taught, and the variety of different kinds of structures subsumed under the

heading ‟grammar‟.

14

According to Celce-Murcia and Hilles, there are some stages in

teaching grammar:

a. Presentation, in which we introduce the grammar structure, either

inductively or deductively. There are a variety of techniques and

resources that can be used during this step. Selection should be made

according to teacher strengths, student preferences, and the nature of the

structure (e.g., What is the structure-language-factor match?)

b. Focused practice, in which the learner manipulates the structure in

question while all other variable are held constant. The purpose of this

step is to allow the learner to gain control of the form without the added

pressure and distraction of trying to use the form for communication. The

teacher should not proceed to the next phase until most students have

mastered at least the form of the structure.

c. Communicative Practice, in which the learner engages in

communicative activities to practice the structure being learned. 16

In addition, the following are the some stage in teaching grammar

that was found by the writer from internet, there are four stage in teaching

grammar.17

First, assess your students before you teach grammar. What are your

objectives in grammar for your grade level, and where are your students in

regards to these objectives?.Second, making plan mini-lessons to address

your students' deficiencies with grammar. Third, teach grammar points

while you are also discussing books you are reading to the class or that

students are reading themselves. Fourth, practice punctuation, proper

grammar, and capitalization with spelling sentences.

Based on explanation some stage in teaching grammar above. The

writer summarize that the important stage in teaching grammar are the

teacher know their students‟ level, and then they make mini lesson plan to

determine the technique and the resources is used, and then they teach their

students clearly and then give the students exercise.

15

15

Moreover, we also must know the basic principles which can guide

the teacher when they teach. Sandra Fotos in Marianne Celce-Murcia

"Teaching English as a second or foreign Language" stated that there are

general principles in teaching grammar:

a. Grammar teaching should be planned and systematic

b. Grammar teaching should nevertheless be “rough tuned," offering

learners at slightly different stage a range of opportunities to add

increments to their grammar understanding.

c. Grammar teaching may involve acceptance of classroom code

switching and mother tongue use, at least with beginners.

d. Grammar teaching should be "little and often," with much

redundancy and revisiting of issues.

e. 'Text-based, problem-solving grammar activities may be needed

to develop learners' active, articulated knowledge about grammar.

f. Active corrective feedback and elicitation will promote learners'

active control of grammar.

g. Grammar teaching needs to be supported and embedded in

meaning-oriented activities and tasks, which give immediate

opportunities for practice and use. 18

In addition, Jeremy Harmer says three of the most important

common errors in teaching grammar, those are:

a. Function and Form, some of the confusion about English arises

because of the mismatch between form and function.

b. Contrast with other languages. 19

From the explanation above, the writer would sum up that many

ways to teaching grammar depends on different levels student and the

teacher must pay attention about the general principles in teaching grammar.

B. Question-Tags

1. Definition of Question-Tags

Based on Longman Advanced Learner‟s Grammar, Question-Tags

are the short questions which we often attach to the end of a sentence. That

16

16

definition is supported by Murphy (1994: 102), Question-Tags are mini

questions that we often put on the end of a sentence in spoken English.20

Celce –Murcia says Question-Tags is a short question which is

appended to a statement when the speaker seeks confirmation of his or her

statement.21

Azar stated almost same with Celce-Murcia says Question-Tags

is a question added at the end of a sentence, speakers use tag questions

chiefly to make sure their information is correct to seek agreement.22

Moreover, Swan stated that a question-tag is rather like a 'reply

question‟: it is made up of auxiliary verb + personal pronoun. It is used at

the end if a sentence, to ask for confirmation of something we are not sure

about, or to ask for agreement.23

Frank says more complete that Question-tags are also yes-no

questions, but the special form into which they are put shows which of

these two answers is actually expected. These alternatives for yes-no

questions consist of two parts. The first part makes a statement; the second

part asks the question that expects agreement with the statement. The

second part contains the regular question auxiliary plus the personal

pronoun that stands for the subject. 24

Based on the explanation above, the writer can sum up that

Question-tags is a short question which is put at the end of a statement and

made up of auxiliary verb + personal pronoun, to ask for clarification, to

confirm information or to make sure that information is correct.

2. Form of Question Tags

According Fuchs and Bonner, forms of Question-tags vary but their

meaning is always similar. And they added their explanation about the sentence or

statement consist of question-tags. The statement expresses an assumption. The tag

means Isn’t it true? or Right?

a) If the statement verb is affirmative, the tag verb is negative.

Example : You work on Friday, don‟t you?

b) If the statement verb is negative, the tag verb is affirmative.

Example : You don‟t work on Friday, do you?

c) And when the subject of the statement is that, the subject of the tag is

it.

Example : That‟s a good idea, isn‟t it?

d) With all auxiliary verbs except do25

AFFIRMATIVE STATEMENT NEGATIVE TAG

Subject + Auxiliary Auxiliary + Not + Subject

You‟re moving Aren‟t you?

He‟s been here before Hasn‟t he?

They can move tomorrow Can‟t they

NEGATIVE STATEMENT AFFIRMATIVE TAG

Auxiliary + Not + Subject Subject + Auxiliary

You‟re not moving Are you?

He hasn‟t been here before Has he?

They can‟t move tomorrow Can they

e) With do as an auxiliary verb

AFFIRMATIVE STATEMENT NEGATIVE TAG

Subject + Verb Do + Not + Subject

You live here Don‟t you?

They decided to move Didn‟t they?

NEGATIVE STATEMENT AFFIRMATIVE TAG

Subject + Do + Not + Verb Do + Subject

You don‟t live here Do you?

They didn‟t decide to move Did they?

And Sidney Greenbaum says that Question-tags generally consist of

an operator followed by a pronoun. As same as with other experts, he says a

18

positive declarative generally takes a negative Question-tags and a negative

declarative generally takes a positive Question-tags. 26

For example :

a) You are a secretary, aren‟t they?

b) I can‟t do this job, can I?

Both the declarative and its Question-tags are sometimes positive:

c) You‟ve marked it have you?

This type of Question-tags show a conclusion what the speaker said.

Question-tags may also be used in imperatives and exclamatives.

d) Open the door, will you?

e) How beautiful she is, isn‟t she?

Beaumont and Granger stated simple that form question-tags with an

auxiliary verb (eg be, have, can) + personal pronoun (eg it,you). 27

a) You haven‟t met my grandmother, have you?

b) He can swim, can‟t he?

A question-tags has the same auxiliary verb that is in the main

clause. If the main clause has the verb be, we use be in the question-tag.

c) It‟s hot today, isn‟t it?

We use do/does in present tense and did in the past tense consist of

Question-tags.

d) You don‟t like football, do you?

e) You ate pizza yesterday, didn‟t you?

We normally put a negative question-tag with a positive statement.

And a positive question-tag with a negative statement. Compare :

f) It isn‟t hot today, is it? It is hot today, isn‟t it?

g) You don‟t like football, do you? You like football, don‟t you?

h) He can‟t swim, can he? He can swim, can‟t he?

19

19

The question-tag for I am is Aren’t I

i) I‟m right, aren‟t I?

After imperatives we use the question-tags will/would you? and

can/can’t/could you? when we want people to do things.

j) Shut the door, will you?

k) Help me with this bag, could you?

After a negative imperative, we use will you?

l) Don‟t be late, will you?

After let’s we use shall we? to make suggestions.

m) Let‟s go out, shall we?

We use they in the question-tags after somebody/someone,

everybody/everyone, and nobody/no one.

n) Somebody love you, didn‟t they?

o) No one phoned for me, did they?

We can use there as a subject in question-tags.

p) There won‟t be any problem, will there?

According Foley and Hall, the form tag-questions with do/does/did

(in simple tenses), or the auxiliary verb. There are three main types of

sentence + tag-question: 28

If an affirmative sentence contains a negative or ‟restrictive‟ adverb (e.g.

20

20

There was hardly enough food for me in the party, was there?

Most modal verbs, like auxiliary verbs, are repeated in tag-question.

Adam can drive a car , can’t they?

Parents shouldn’t expect their children to agree with their opinions,

should they?

And they expalanated about the exception rules in question-tags. There are a

number exception and variations in the form of the verb in the question-

tags:

Tag question after….. Example

I am I am an artist, aren’t I ?

Need

(negative)

He doesn’t need addition reference, does he?

(or: He needn’t addition reference, need he?

May/might It may/might be fine tomorrow, mightn’t it?

Ought to We really ought to leave now, oughtn’t we?

Shouldn’t we?

Let‟s Let‟s we go to a cinema, shall we?

And then they says about another case in the question-tags.

Usually the pronoun in the tag-question matches the subject of the sentence:

This is a good example, isn‟t it? (This and it are both singular)

Those are the flowers from Mom, aren‟t they? (Those and they are both

plural)

Nothing ever happens when I‟m away, does it?

But notice this exception:

Someone‟s been taking my food again, haven‟t they?

Nobody has phoned, have they?

While Azar explained the form of question-tags with the tables above:29

AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCE + NEGATIVE TAG

Mary is here, isn't she?

You like tea, don't you?

They have left, haven't they?

NEGATIVE SENTENCE + AFFIRMATIVE TAG

Mary isn't here, is she?

You don't like tea, do you?

They have left, have they?

This/That is your book, isn't it? The tag pronoun for this/that = it.

These/Those are yours, aren't they? The tag pronoun for these/those =

they.

There is a meeting tonight, isn't there?

In sentence with there + be, there is

used in the tag.

Everything is okay, isn't it? Personal pronouns are used to refer

to indefinite pronouns.

Everyone took the test, didn't they?

They is usually used in a tag to refer

to everyone, everybody, someone,

somebody, no one, nobody.

Nothing is wrong, is it?

Sentences with negative words take

affirmative tags. Nobody called on the phone, did they?

You've never been there, have you?

I am supposed to be here, I arn not? I am not? is formal English.

I am supposed to be here, aren't l? Aren't I? is common in spoken

English.

From explanation above, it shows that the forms of question-tags

are: if the statement positive, the tag-question is negative, if the statement

negative, the tag-question positive. And the exception rules in question-tag

says that in imperative sentence, the question-tag must “ will you”, request

sentence the tag must “shall we”, and Subject I the tag must “are”, Subject

That/This the tag must “it”, subject Those/These the tag must “they”, and

22

22

after somebody/someone, everybody/everyone, and nobody/no one the tag

is “they”.

3. Use of Question-Tags.

Foley and Hall stated we used mixed Question-tags with a falling

intonation, to ask for confirmation: 30

It’s hot today, isn’t it?(the speaker believes that this is true and

uses a tag question to check)

With a rising intonation, mixed Question-tags are a genuine request

for information:

You haven’t talked to Sally yet, have you?

We answer mixed Question-tags in the following way:

Affirmative tag: „Doni isn‟t a playboy, is he?‟

„No, I don‟t think he is‟ (agreement) /„Actually, yes, he is‟

(contradiction)

Negative tag: „you‟re an actrees aren‟t you?

‘Yes, that’s right.’ (Agreement) /‘No, it’s three weeks.’

(Contradiction)

Request: Pick me up at eight, could you?

Invitation: Let‟s come to my party, won‟t you?

Commands: turn the TV off, will you? Don‟t annoy Rina, will you?

Question-tags are normally used to ask for confirmation of what has just

been said, they are:31

a) If we ask for confirmation concerning something we already feel sure of,

falling intonation is used.

Example :

It‟s hot today, isn‟t it?

23

23

You don‟t live in Bandung, do you?

b) If, we are not sure whether what we are saying is correct, rising

intonation is used.

Example :

Sheila‟s met you before, hasn‟t she?

He didn‟t pay, did he?

c) There is also another type of question-tags. These are not normally

„questions‟ at all, but are used to express emotional reaction of some

kind. They may indicate feelings like: anger, worry and interest. In these

cases a rising intonation is normally used.

Example :

So he‟s late again, is he?

She‟s safe now, is she?

Oh, you‟ve found a new job, have you?

In one sites stated that we use tags in spoken English but not in

formal written English. They are not really questions but are a way of

asking the other person to make a comment and so keep the conversation

open.32

According Fuchs and Bonner, the use of question-tag are:

a) Use Question-tags in conversation when you expect the speaker to agree

with you. In this type of tag-question, the voice falls on the tag, use this

type of tag-question to :

Check information you believe is correct. You expect the listener to

answer (and agree)

Example : Tom lives in L.A., doesn‟t he?

24

24

(In this sentence the speaker believes that Tom lives in L.A and

wants to check this information.)

Comment on a situation

Example : It‟s a nice day, isn‟t it?

( In this sentences the speaker is commenting on the weather)

b) Question-tags can be used to get information. You want to confirm your

information because you are not sure it is correct. The voice rises at the

end and you usually get an answer.

Example :

A : You‟re not moving, are you?

(In this sentence the speaker in doubt, and wants get information)

B : Yes, we‟re returning to L.A or No, We‟re staying here.33

According to Swan, the meaning of question-tag changes with the

intonation. 34

If it is said with a falling intonation, it makes the sentence

sound more like a statement. With a rising intonation, the sentence is more

like a real question.

Example :

Nice day, isn‟t it? (Falling intonation – not a real question)

You haven‟t seen my brother everywhere, have you? ( Rising

intonation on have you? – this is a real question.).

As same as with Granger, Beaumont and Granger explained almost

the same with Swan, they say: “the meaning of question-tag depends on the

intonation:

a) If we are asking a real question, we use a rising intonation

You haven‟t seen my handphone, have you? (= have you seen

my handphone?)

b) But if we are sure of the answer, we use a falling intonation

It‟s hot today, isn‟t it? (= it‟s hot. Do you agree?)35

From the explanation above, it shows that the meaning of

question-tag is depend on the intonation. If the intonation is rising, it means

the speaker confirm the information because s/he is not sure it is correct and

if the intonation is falling, it means the speaker ask for confirmation from

listener (the speaker expect the listener to agree).

4. Difficulties in learning Question Tags

There are a few special difficulties with question-tags:

a) Usually students answer amn‟t I in sentence subject I am, because they

don‟t know the rules..

Example : I’m late, aren’t I?

b) Many students still confuse to choose the appropriate tag in imperative

sentence.

Will you? Is used in question-tags after imperatives.

Example: Don’t be late, will you?

c) Many students still confuse to determine the appropriate tag in request

sentence.

Example: Let’s go, shall we?

d) Many students still confuse to determine the appropriate tag in sentence

consist of the exception rules. Such as there can be used as a subject in

questions-tags, sentences containing negative words like nothing,

nobody is following by affirmative question-tags and Somebody,

someone, everybody and everyone are also often followed by tags with

they.

Example:

There‟s something wrong, isn’t there?

Nothing can stop us now, can it?

Somebody borrowed my book yesterday, didn’t they?

From the explanation above, the writer summarize that the

students still confuse about what tense, verb or pronoun is used in

question-tag.

CHAPTER III

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RESEARCH

In this chapter, the writer discusses the framework related to the

methodology in analyzing the problems of the study. This chapter includes

the discussion on research methodology (source of data, objective of study,

method of study, place and time, population and sample, technique of data

collecting, and instrument of research), research findings (data collection,

and technique of data analysis), data analysis and data interpretation.

A. Research Methodology

1. Source of data

According to Arikunto (2002:107) data source is a subject

where data can be obtained. 2The writer then classified data source

into three categories. They are symbolized with a letter “P” which

refers to a person, place, and paper. First, person is the data source,

which can give data in the difficulties learning English and especially

question tags faced by students through an interview. Second, place is

the data source which can give presentation like state (equipment,

Page 40: AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY STUDENTS IN …repository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/3111/1... · 2013-04-11 · Question tags: (1) the students should pay attention

27

room,etc) or move (activity students, teaching and learning process,

etc), and the last is paper, it is the data source which can give data

about the most difficulties in learning question tags faced by students.

In this research, the source of the data is some difficulties in

learning question-tags faced by second grade of State Junior High

School 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan..

2. Method of Study

In conducting her study, the writer used field research supported

by library study. The writer did the library study to gain the data such as

4. Population and sample

The population of the study is the students of second year of

State Junior High School 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan. They consists of

nine of classes, each of them consists of 30 students. Therefore, there

are 270 students in number.

The writer did not take the total population as sample. She only

took one class VIII-9 which has 30 students. The sample is taken by

using purposive sampling technique, the determining of class that will

be studied based on the policy and ease from the school.

5. Technique of data collecting

There are three techniques of collecting data, the writer uses

test, interview and document.

a. Test

Test is a technique in collecting data to find out and identify the

student‟s difficulty in learning question-tags.

b. Interview

This technique is used to supplement the data needed which are not

covered by technique previously. The writer asked some question

to the students, to know the process of teaching and learning in

class and to reinforce the analysis and to find out the reasons why

the students faced the difficulties in learning question-tags. This

technique was used to interview students of class VIII-9 of State

Junior High School 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan.

c. Document

It is used to know the accurate data about location, profile of

school and population where the research is carry out.

6. Instrument of research

The writer uses a written test as the instrument for collecting

the data. For the test the writer gave selected item from the grammar

Page 42: AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY STUDENTS IN …repository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/3111/1... · 2013-04-11 · Question tags: (1) the students should pay attention

2. Technique of data analysis

The technique of data analysis used by the writer is descriptive

analysis technique (percentage) to get relative frequency, which is

described in the table percentage. In this table percentage, she uses the

formula:

P= F x 100 %

N

P= Percentage

F= Frequency of error made

N= Number of the students3

Besides the formula above, the writer also finds out the average score

by using the formula as following:

P = F x 100 %

N x n

P= Percentage

N= Number of the students

n= Number of item test

C. Data Analysis

After the writer gets the students‟ score, she analyzes the students‟ error.

After that, she counts the number of errors by tabulating and calculating

the result of errors. She processes the calculation of result of the test by

changing the result of errors into percentage. First the frequency of

difficulty in the form question tags in multiple choices, the table could be

seen as follow;

13.6% who made errors in this item.

And the whole percentage of average error from the difficulty in

question-tags in fill forms is 36.7%.

Then, the following below is the analysis of the reason why the

students faced the difficulty in learning question-tags that the writer got

from asking some students orally.

c. Interview

To find out the reason why the students got difficulties in

learning question-tag, the writer did an interview to all of students in

Class VIII-9 of State Junior High School 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan. In

doing her interview, the writer gave for about ten questions related to

the topic and the teaching learning English activities which must be

answered by the students.

After the writer finished interviewing, the writer found some

reason why they got difficulties in learning question-tag. The

difficulties happened because there were many students who haven‟t

mastered yet about the rules of some tenses, they forgot the exception

rules in question-tags, because their teacher explained unclear.

Consequently the students still confuse to decide the auxiliary verb

must be used in one sentence of question-tag and in the exception

rules, they still so hard to decide the tag. They said that they were still

confused to decide the auxiliary verb, if one sentence there is no the

auxiliary verb including the exception rules such as, imperative

sentence, request sentence and Subject I and they still hard to decide

whether mark or falling intonation in a sentence.. In other words, they

still felt difficult to decide the appropriate tag in sentence.

Page 50: AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY STUDENTS IN …repository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/3111/1... · 2013-04-11 · Question tags: (1) the students should pay attention

37

However, the internal factor and external factor influenced the

students‟ difficulties in their learning. First, they faced the difficulties

because of their worse mind set or opinion. They believe that grammar

is difficult subject. Then, they felt afraid to ask to their teacher,

because they thought their teacher is “killer”. Consequently, they can‟t

communicate their difficulties to their teacher. Lastly, they have low

enthusiasm and motivation in learning question-tags.

From the explanation above, the writer would like to conclude

that the most mistakes done by the students are in the form of

question-tags in multiple choice forms and fill forms. The first is the

form of question-tag in multiple choice forms (Part A). The writer

took four which are in each number there are more than 10% students

who made mistakes. These students were choosing the wrong answer

which is not the appropriate question-tags:

1. In item number 3 in the form of Simple Present Tense, there are

12 students or 10.7% who made mistakes. Because this item is

the present tense in the speaking and there is apostrophe

between pronoun and auxiliary verb, consequently the students‟

confuse to choose the right answer. The right answer is: You‟d

better go home now, don’t you?

2. In item number 11 in the form of Subject That, there are 12

students or 10.7% who made mistakes. Because the Subject

That, consequently the students‟ confuse to choose the

appropriate question tag. The right answer is: That is your book,

isn’t it?

3. In item number 13 in the form of Imperative Sentence, there are

22 Students or 19.5% who made mistakes. Because this item is

Imperative Sentence, no to be, consequently the students‟

confuse to choose the appropriate question tag. The right answer

is: Take my bag please, will you?

Page 51: AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY STUDENTS IN …repository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/3111/1... · 2013-04-11 · Question tags: (1) the students should pay attention

38

4. In item 15 in the form Request Sentence, there are 21 Students

or 18.6% who made mistakes. As same as Imperative Sentence,

in Request Sentence also no verb, consequently the students‟

confuses to choose the appropriate question tag. The right

answer is: Let‟s have dinner at restaurant, shall we?

The most mistakes done by the students in Multiple Choice

Forms are Request Sentence and Imperative sentence. It was happened

because of their worse mind set or opinion. They believe that grammar

is difficult subject and they felt afraid to ask to their teacher, because

they thought their teacher is “killer”.

The second is the form of question-tag in fill forms. The writer

took six which are in each number there are more than 10% students

who made errors. These students were choosing the wrong answer

which is not the appropriate question-tags:

1. In item 1 in the form Simple Past Tense, there are 12 students or

11% who made mistakes. Because this item Simple Past Tense,

consequently the students‟ confuse to fill the appropriate question-

tag. The right answer is: Helen and Monica went to London a week

ago, didn’t they?

2. In item number 4, there are 18 students or 13.3% who made

mistakes. Because this item is Present Continuous Tense in passive

voice, and subject is a thing, consequently the students‟ confuse to

fill the appropriate question-tag. The right answer is: Your bike is

being repaired, isn’t it?

3. In item number 5, there are 14 students or 10.4% who made

mistakes. Because this item is Plural Word and Simple Past tense,

consequently the students‟ confuse to fill the appropriate question-

tag. The right answer is: A few students spoke English well, didn’t

they?

4. In item 7, there are 17 students or 12.6% who made mistakes.

Because this item Simple Past Tense, and there is adverb of time in

Page 52: AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY STUDENTS IN …repository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/3111/1... · 2013-04-11 · Question tags: (1) the students should pay attention

39

the first sentence, consequently the students‟ confuse to fill the

appropriate question-tag. The right answer is: By the end of the

film we were all in tears, weren’t you?

5. In item number 9, there are 19 students or 14.1% who made

mistakes. Because this item is Request Sentence. Consequently the

students‟ confuse to fill the appropriate question-tag. The right

answer is: let‟s sing together, shall we?

6. In item number 10, there are 20 students or 14.8% who made

mistakes. Because this item is Simple Present and no to be.

Consequently the students‟ confuse to fill the appropriate question-

tag. The right answer is: They always get up early, don’t they?

The most mistakes done by the students in Fill Forms are

Simple past Tense, Present Continuous Tense, Simple Present Tense

and Request Sentence. It was happened because of their worse mind

set or opinion. They believe that grammar is difficult subject and they

felt afraid to ask to their teacher, because they thought their teacher is

“killer”.

D. Data Interpretation

After classifying the items and its distribution in the test and

explaining the score‟s students and the frequency and percentage of error

on each item. The next step that the writer did is formulated the difficulty

of question-tags based on the frequency of error as follow:

Table 3.6

The Percentage of Difficulty in Question-Tags

No The difficulty area Percentage of error

1 The multiple choice forms in

Question-tags 25.11%

2 The fill forms in Question-tags 36.7%

Page 53: AN ANALYSIS ON THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY STUDENTS IN …repository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/3111/1... · 2013-04-11 · Question tags: (1) the students should pay attention

40

The table above shows that many students made errors in making

the forms of question-tags in multiple choice and fill forms. There are

25.11 % students who made error in the forms of question-tags in multiple

choice and 36.7 % students who made error in the forms of question-tags

in fill forms. And, it also shows that the range of their percentage is not too

wide. However, the higher difficulty in learning question-tags is in the in

the test of determining the appropriate question-tags (fill forms)

Furthermore, the writer can interpret that most of the second year

students of SMPN 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan still hard to choose and

determine the appropriate Question-tags in sentence. It means they have

not mastered yet the rules. They also noticed they confused in making the

forms of question-tags, and they are also confused about the use of

question tag in sentences. They are still confused to find what tense or verb

or pronoun to be used in the tag. Then, having opinion that grammar is

difficult, less enthusiasm and motivation caused the students get

difficulties in question-tags. Besides, they have not understood yet the

explanation given by the teacher because they felt afraid to ask to their

CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

In this writer conclude the study result based on the research done at

SMPN 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan and suggest the readers, especially for

English teacher. It consists of conclusion and suggestion.

A. Conclusion

Based on the data analysis discussed in the previous chapter, the writer

inferred most of second year students of SMPN 4 Kota Tangerang Selatan

made error in making the forms of question-tags in imperative sentence with

frequency of error 19.5% . it is higher frequency of errors than the other form

(Present Tense, Past Tense, Present Perfect Tense, Present Continuous Tense,

and Plural Word, Verb „be‟, Subject I am, Subject That, Subject There, and

Request Sentence ). And then after analyze all of data, the writer get the causes

of students‟ difficulties in learning question-tag are:

1. Because of their worse mind set or opinion. They believe that grammar is

difficult subject.

2. They felt afraid to ask to their teacher, because they thought their teacher is

“killer”. Consequently, they can‟t communicate their difficulties to their

teacher.

3. They have low enthusiasm and motivation in learning question-tags.

42

4. Many students still confuse about the sentence in one sentence. Because

they are not master in the form all of tenses, consequently they got the

difficulties to decide the auxiliary verb and pronoun must be used in one

sentence of question-tag.

5. They forgot the exception rules on question-tag when they did the test or

exercise.

B. Suggestion

In order to decrease the errors in question-tag. The writer would like to give

some suggestions as follow:

1. The students should pay more attention to all of form of tenses.

2. The students also have to know and remember the exception rules in

question-tag.

3. The teacher should pay attention when they taught grammar especially form

of tenses.. And they also give many exercises to the students in learning

English either in oral or written forms. And after know the difficulties

students in learning question-tag, the teacher can assist the students better.
