OF FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SD N 2 CANGKRINGREMBANG KARANGANYAR DEMAK
IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2008/2009
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
English is one of foreign languages that are more popular that any other languages in
the world. It means that language is humans tool to communicate to each other and
their way to express or say the idea and thinking. An Indonesian person does not use
English language commonly in a daily life. Therefore, to consider the important role of
English, English is taught from the elementary till university, furthermore English itself
Indonesian as second language.English is introduced into curriculum and it is a compulsory subject in kindergarten,
elementary school, junior high school, senior high school and university. The Indonesian
government always makes effort to improve the quality of education by improving the
quality of the teachers and other teaching components, which are involved in the
educational processes (Rachmadie, 1985:54) the quality of someones English skill is
obviously depending on the quality and quantity of the vocabulary he or she has.
Besides, every learning process will go on well if there is motivation. It is expected
that each student come to school having the motivation to study. Therefore, teacher has
to make students productively involved using the work in the class. This step requires
teachers creativity to create the most appropr iate ways for their students. Teaching
English is always oriented to master the four language skills: Listening; Speaking,
Reading, and Writing. All the four skills are very important in teaching English. The
language components, such as structure, vocabulary, spelling, and pronunciation are
taught to support developing of the four language skills. These skills are learned trough

selected material based on their development level. However, in a teaching and learning
process, a teacher must develop the four language skills interactively. Qualified teacher,
good environment, facilities and media also support the success of language learning. We
also have a language component, which is called vocabulary. Vocabulary is very crucial in
language learning and one of the important factors in learning English especially in
teaching elementary school students. Hornby (1974:954) states that vocabulary is total
number of words which with rules for combining them make up a language. According to
Manzo and Sherk (1971:72) Vocabulary is central of formation, acculturation,
reticulation apparently all learning. Therefore, it is important for teaches to study
methods and techniques in improving students vocabulary so that they can learn as
effectively as possible.
In the world of education, students are expected to master enough vocabulary to
support their English skill. When the students have known enough vocabulary, it will
help them make their learning process go easier with the maximum result. However, the
main problem faced by many students, is that they still master a small number of
vocabularies that influence their English skill.
As a teacher, it is necessary to find new teaching media to overcome the problems
and not to forget to motivate the students. Some teachers have used games, pictures,
songs, real object and cartoon as their teaching media to grow the student creativity in
learning process.
In the KTSP (kurikilum tingkatan satuan pendidikan ) based competency,
vocabulary is taught in SD N 2 CangkringRembang, Karanganyar, Demak beside the four
skills. For examples in the writing skill, the students will write easily when they can
master new vocabulary especially difficult word that is applied in English sentence.
According to English teacher in SD N 2 CangkringRembang, Karanganyar, Demak, many
students still have difficulties to give contribution of new English words. One of the
problems is pronunciation. In the curriculum, the teacher can give motivation to study
with a way are games, pictures, real object and songs.
In this study, cartoon is chosen as a media for teaching vocabulary. This media
enables the students to explorer when they are learning in an enjoyable atmosphere andit helps the students can memorize English vocabulary more easily.

In this study some teachers have used games, pictures, songs, real object, puzzle,

2.2 The Mastery of English Vocabulary
In order to master English vocabulary, the teacher should give pay attention for
several things. They are the definition of vocabulary, kinds of vocabulary, and the
mastery of English vocabulary.
2.2.1 Definition of English Vocabulary
When learning a language, learners will be introduced to the components of thatlanguage, such as structure, spelling, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Vocabulary as one
of the language components is badly needed in order to master a language. There are
some definitions of English vocabulary. Murcia and Olshtain in Mc Cartny, (2000:73)
define vocabulary is the largest single element in taking a new language for the learner
and it would be irresponsible to suggest that it take care discourse driven.
Richards (2004:4) says that vocabulary is one of the components of language and
one of the first things applied linguists turned their attention to. Meanwhile, Hornby
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
10/30
(1974:959) defines vocabulary is a total number of words which make up a language with
definition or translations. From the definitions, it can be concluded that vocabulary is a
list of words express a wide range of meaning.
Vocabulary, which constitutes the knowledge of meaning, plays a significant role in
supporting the mastery of language skills namely listening, speaking, reading and
writing. The more vocabulary the learners have, the easier for them to improve their
skills. In writing, for example, by having many vocabularies, the students are easier to
improve their English skills. They can express their ideas, opinion, and feeling
cohesively. Thus, they can construct readable written text. So, the teaching learning
process of English vocabulary is successfully done.
2.2.2 Kinds of English Vocabulary
Teaching vocabulary is important in language acquisition. Vocabulary is one
element that links the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing all together.
One of the requirements to communicate well in a foreign language, students should
have an adequate number of words. According Celca-Murcia (2000:76) there are two
kinds of vocabulary, as follows:
1. Productive versus Receptive Vocabulary
Productive vocabulary is the lexical terms which the students can remember and
use appropriately in speaking and writing. Receptive vocabulary in the lexical items
which the students familiar and understand when they meet them in the context of
reading and listening materials.
Productive vocabulary is used to speaking and writing, the stage of teaching and
learning must end with vocabulary practice, where the students get an opportunity to try
to use the vocabulary in context. Different from productive vocabulary, receptive
vocabulary is only presented until the students know the meaning to understand the
context of reading or listening.
2. Content Words versus Function Words
Content words and function words are a useful one in analyzing vocabulary.
Content words are those vocabulary items that must to the large and open words classes.
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
11/30
Content words that are the words that are easy accept new words and not use old ones
but are not longer useful. For example: nouns, verbs, adjectives, and some adverbs.
Function words are those vocabulary items that must to closed words classes.
Function words that are the words do not easy new items or lose old ones. For example:
pronouns, auxiliary verbs, prepositions, determiners, and many adverbs. Function words
should be taught as part of grammar and content words as part of vocabulary.
There are two kinds of vocabulary according to Proyek Peningkatan Mutu Tenaga
Kependidikan dan non Kependidikan Pendidikan Menengah (2002). Materi Pelatihan
Guru Bidang Studi Ebtanas (Bahasa Inggris) Jawa Tengah. Departemen Pendidikan dan
Kebudayaan.
1. Familiar (old) and Unfamiliar (new) vocabulary
The term familiar unfamiliar is preferred to old -new since the latter is sometime
confusing familiar vocabulary is the vocabulary which the students have been familiar.
They have known the meaning and the use of the vocabulary in context. When the
students meet a word and they do not know its meaning yet, then the word belongs to
unfamiliar vocabulary, although they are familiar with its pronunciation or spelling.
Being asked what vocabulary to teach, most teachers will quickly answer,
unfamiliar vocabulary. The answer is only partly true, because they usually forget that
familiar vocabulary must also be taught. Familiar vocabulary is taught in order to
establish the students, acquisition, while unfamiliar vocabulary is taught to their
knowledge.
2. Productive and Receptive vocabulary
Productive vocabulary is the lexical terms which the students can remember and
use appropriately in speaking and writing. Receptive vocabulary is the lexical items
which the students can familiar and understand when they meet them in the context of
reading and listening materials.
Since productive vocabulary is used to speaking and writing, the stages of teaching
and learning must end with vocabulary practice, where the students get an opportunity
to try to use the vocabulary in context. Different from productive, receptive vocabulary is
only presented until the students know the meaning to understand the context ofreading or listening.
-

Sherpend (1952:22) says that there are some kinds of English vocabulary: a new
vocabulary, and expressional vocabulary.
1. New Vocabulary
New vocabulary is vocabulary that is known when a person listens or read and
when a person listen idea from another people. Vocabulary can accept by another people
base vocabulary. A person used some words in communication and written of words that
is known when he listens or read.
2. Expressional vocabulary
When a person communicate to write, he actual quickly or explain the opinion with
another people even though easy and efficiently to improve mastery of vocabulary. A
person becomes competent with repeating words in vocabulary that he has get it. The
qualities of mastering vocabulary are to increase of language ability.
2.3 Cartoon film as a Media of Teaching English
Carefulness in selecting of media applied in the process of teaching and learning is
needed in order to reach the satisfactory result of it. One of the media of teaching
English vocabulary is by using cartoon film. Cartoon film is chosen as a media of
teaching English vocabulary in this study. The explanation about Teaching English
vocabulary by using cartoon film as a media as follows:
2.3.1 Definition of Media of Teaching
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. For the
teachers of elementary school, the using of media is very important before we talk more
about media; especially we have to know what media is.
Media come from the word medium. It means all of them and the channel used to
inform of message. In the field of education media can be called as instrument, method
and technique used to communicate and influence effectively between the teacher and
the students in the teaching and learning process in the school (Hamalik:1982).
In this study, I use Cartoon Film as media of Teaching English Vocabulary. Inteaching vocabulary, teachers should not give it separately, word by word. It will make
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
13/30
the students know the meaning of the words only and they still find difficulties in
applying the word into sentences or paragraph.
Teaching SD N or Elementary Students is considered as teaching children.
Teachers should try to give as clearly as possible the explanation of the meaning of the
words taught by showing picture, illustrating, or giving the similar meaning with their
native languages as media.
2.3.2 Kinds of Media of Teaching
From some scientists we were learning we found that they used difference
definition of media. Hamalik (1980:50-51), defines that teaching media consist of several
kinds, such as:
1. Supplementary materials including reading materials: book, comic,
newspaper, magazine, bulletin, folder, pamphlet.
2. Audio visual media:
a. Non projector media; blackboard/whiteboard, diagram, graphic, poster, cartoon, comic,
picture.
b. Three dimension media; model/natural thing like diorama, doll, mask, map,
globe ,school museum.
c. Machined media; slides, filmstrip, film, record, radio, television, computer.
3. Society source: people, industry, history, area, custom, politic.
4. Material collection: chemist, seed, and leaves.
5. Gesture: all action by the teacher in the class like moving hands, foot, body, and facial
expression.
While Suparno (1988:50) defines kinds of teaching media that can be used in the
process of teaching and learning process into four types, they are:
1. Non-projector viewing media: the viewing media that cannot be projector object to other
surface. For example: flash card, pictures, etc.
2. Projector-viewing media: the viewing media that can be projected of the object of
transparency to other surface example OHP (Over Head Projector).
3. Auditory media: the teaching media that confide the message by sound. For example:tape, recorder, etc.
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
14/30
4. Audiovisual media: the teaching media which confide the message though around and
also its picture or action can be seen followed its sound. For example: TV, VCD, etc.
5. Game: the teaching media by game which is done by individual, group, or in pairs. For
example: puzzles, guessing, the words, etc.
In this study, cartoon film is chosen as a media of teaching English vocabulary. I
use Dora the Explorer Cartoon Film as media to teach English vocabulary. The Dora the
Explorer is an animated television series that is a wonderful show for children. The
lessons are hidden in Dora's adventures and not force fed. Another one of the best parts
of Dora the Explorer show is the bilingual aspect. Characters speak both English and
Spanish. Dora's adventures are fun and interesting, with an emphasis on sharing,
compromise, and interactivity. Two stage versions of Dora the Explorer toured North
America, the first being "City of Lost Toys," and the second being "Dora's Pirate
Adventure." Produced by Nickelodeon and Live Nation, these productions consider as
most important live actors play the roles of Dora and her friends, including Boots the
monkey, Benny the bull, the fiesta trio (a bug band), Seor Tucn, Tico, Swiper the Fox
and Dora's Map and Backpack (which have faces and personalities), Diego, and Isa the
iguana. Many of the characters wore difficult foam costumes designed to resemble the
Dora characters. Each production featured a structure similar to an episode of
th etelevision series . Dora helps children in the learn colors, counting, and words in
Spanish and English. Young viewers are wanted to participate in a variety of ways
including shouting out words and reminding the characters of certain tasks
(http://www.cartoonwatcher.com/dora-the-explorer/).
So, cartoon film is a film made by photographing a series of cartoon drawing to give
the illusion of movement when projected in rapid sequence
(http://www.thefreedictionary.com/cartoon). According Hornby (1974:129) carton film
is cinema film made by photographing a series of drawing or drawing dealing with
current (est. political) events in an amusing or satirical way. Meanwhile, Longman
cartoon film is a humors drawing, often dealing in an amusing (satirical) way with
something of interest in the news or a cinema film made by photographing a set of
drawings.

2.4 Teaching English Vocabulary by Using Cartoon Film
Numerous of media can be applied in teaching vocabulary. However, it is a must for

by the English curriculum in which the teaching at elementary school can be more
cheerful and encouraging.
2.4.1 The Steps of Teaching English Vocabulary by Using Cartoon Film

METHODOLOGY OF THE RESEARCH
The methodology of the research is very important in every research as a guideline
to attain the objective of the study. Chapter three provides information about
methodology of the research that the writer applies in has study. They are design of the
research, population and sample, instrument of the research, procedure of collecting
data and technique of analyzing data.
3.1 Design of the Research
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
17/30
This research is an experimental research. Experimental research which purpose to
examine the cause and the effect after the treatment will been done toward experimental
group and control group (Ali, 1984:132). Meanwhile, Arikunto (1993:41) the research
design aims to give the responsibility for setting the next steps to make the result more
accurate and objective. And the subject of this research is the fifth grade students of SD
N 2 CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak which consist of 1 class. In this study, there
are two variables, they are:
1. Independent variable is The use of Cartoon film as a media of teaching English.
2. Dependent variable is The mastery of English vocabulary.
The experiment research uses one group pre-test, post-test design, because it is
done in one group only without other control group. So, that this experiment is called
quasi experiment. There are three sages in one-group pretest-posttest design (Ali,
1984:136):
1. The researcher holds a pretest to find out the students vocabulary mastery before being
taught by using cartoon film. The pretest is formulated as T 1.
2. The researcher applies the experimental treatment to the subjects. The students are
taught by using cartoon film. The experimental treatment is formulated as X.
3. The researcher conducts a posttest to measure the students vocabulary mastery after
being taught by using cartoon film. It is formulated as T 2.
T1 = Pre-test for experimental group
do the experimental research for the fifth grade students of SD N 2 CangkringRembangKaranganyar Demak in the academic year 2008/2009. I do four times treatment and
two test, that are Pre- test to find the students vocabulary mastery before being taught byusing cartoon film and Posttest to find out the students vocabulary mastery after beingtaught by using cartoon film.
3.2 Population and Sample
Population and sample are important elements in research. Population is total
member of research respondent. (Arikunto, 2006:130). In
addition, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/population mention that population is the
entire aggregation of items from which sample can be draw, a branch of applied
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
18/30
mathematics concerned with the collection and interpretation of quantitative data and
the use of probability theory to estimate population parameters.
In this case, the population is the entire of the fifth grade students of SD N 2
CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak in the academic year 2008/2009. The number
of population is 20 students.
After determining the population, I obtain a sample, which is obviously important
step in conducting a research. I use a sample research to represents the population.
Arikunto (1998:117) says that a sample is a part of population, which is investigated. In
this sample research I have a purpose to generalize the result of study. The number of
population that is used in this study is 20 students. Because of the limitation number of
population which is only 20 students, I take the whole population as the sample of the
research. Arikunto (2006:134) says that if the population is less than 100 people, we
could use all of them as the sample. If the population is more 100 people, we could take
10-15% or more than 20-25% of its sample. Because the number of the fifth grade
students of SD N 2 cangkringrembans Karanganyar Demak is less than 100 students, so
the number of sample is 20 students.
3.3 Instrument of the Research
According to Arikunto(2006:160), research instrument is a device used by the
research while collecting the data to make his work become easier and to get better
result, complete and systematic in order to make the data easy to process.
I use multiple choice tests with 20 questions as a research instrument. According to
Brown (2004:3), a test is a method of measuring a persons ability, knowledge, or
performance in a given domain.
Arikunto (2006:150) explains that test is a series of question or exercises used to
measure skills, knowledge, intelligences, abilities or talents possessed by individual or
group. Meanwhile, Hornby (1342), test is an experiment to discover whether or how well
something words or find out more information about it.
Arikunto (2006:150) categorized of two types of instruments, test and non test. He
also explained that test is a series of questions or exercises used to measure skills,
knowledge, intelligences, abilities, or talents possessed by individual or group. While
-

non-test includes giving questionnaire, interview, observation, rating skill, and
documentation.
However, before the test items are being tested to the students, the writer must
measure their validity and reliability to get the accurate data.
1. Validity
What is meant by validity is the accuracy stage of an instrument to test the things in
a certain group (Ali, 1984:101). Meanwhile, Suprihadi (2001:22) says that validity is the
extent to which it measure what it is supposed to measure. It means that the test item
must be appropriate to the material that had been taught to the students. To measure the
test validity, I uses table of specification containing the standard competency, the
indicators, the materials, and the item numbers.
2. Reliability
According to Ali (1984:101), reliability means the stability of a test item to measure
certain task that can be used everywhere and every place. To make sure that the test is
reliable, before using the test items for the pretest and posttest, I tried out test. She took
20 students of the fifth grade students in SD N 3 CangkringRembang Karanganyar
Demak as the subject of try out test. Then, the result of the try out test is calculated to
find the test reliability by using the formula as stated by Arikunto (1998:185) as follow:
Note :
Rxy : item of test reliability
N : the number of respondents
x : the sum of x scores
y : the sum of y scores
xy : the sum of the score of x and y score for each student
x : the sum of scores of x square
y : the sum of y scores of y square
After computing Rxy then this will be calculated by the application of the
Spearman-Brown formulate:
-

20/30
Note :
R : The obtained reliability of entire test
R xy : The obtained reliability of half test
The criteria of reliability value are as follows:
r : 0,00-0,20 : there is no reliable
r : 0,21-0,40 : very low reliability
r : 0,41-0,60 : enough reliability
r : 0,61-0,80 : high reliability
r : 0,81-1,00 : very high reliability
The writer did the try out to know the reliability of the test for the fifth grade
students of SD N 2 CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak is 0.667. The criteria of
reliability value are high reliability.
3.4 Technique of Collecting Data
To collect data, I conduct several steps:
1. Asking permission to headmaster of SD N 2 CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak to
do the experiment that would take 2 weeks.
2. Giving pre-test to explore the data of vocabulary mastery of students before being
taught by using cartoon film.
3. Teaching vocabulary by using cartoon film to explore the response of the students when
they are taught by using cartoon film. It took four meetings.
4. Giving post-test to find out the data result of the vocabulary mastery after being taught
by using cartoon film.
3.5 Technique of Analyzing Data
The writer analyzes the data using following steps:
1. Calculating the mean of pretest score and posttest score
2. Calculating the Standard Deviation of pretest score and posttest score
3. Calculating the t-test of pretest and posttest score to find out the difference between
them
Method of analyzing data is a method to process the findings data into a research.
The technique of analyzing the data is using the T-test. In analyzing the scores using t-
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
21/30
test, the writer should find out the Mean and the Standard Deviation of both the pretest
and the posttest score. Here are the formulas of calculating the Mean and the Standard
Deviation.
The formula of calculating the mean:
Mean (X) :
Notes:
X : the mean
F : frequency
X : middle score of the interval class
N : the number of sample
The formula of calculating the standard deviation
Standard Deviation = SD = i
Notes:
S : standard deviation
i : the width of intervalf : frequency
x : coding
x : score of x
N: the number of sample
Meanwhile, to know the vocabulary mastery of fifth grade students of SD N 2
CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak in the academic year 2008/2009 taught by
using cartoon film. The writer would like to make criteria of the English reading from
score. The score is got from the sum of the total correct answer, the writer uses this
formula:
Score = S x 5
= 20 x 5
= 100
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
22/30
Therefore, the highest score will be 100 and the lowest score will be zero. The data
description of the students test scores will be classified into five criteria. According to
Arikunto (1998:251), the criteria of measuring the test score is as follows:
Score Category80-100 Excellent66-79 Good56-65 Sufficient40-55 Low> 4o Poor
Based on the data that has been gathered, this research uses a method to analyze
the data, namely t-test formula. This formula is arranged by Ali (1984: 200) as follows:T-
test formula:
to :
Note:
To: t score
X: Mean of an experiment member
X : Mean of comparing member : variant
N : number of experiment sample
N : number of comparing sampleFormula to compute the Variants (S)
Note : X : the Mean of posttest score
X : the Mean of Pretest score
N : the number of sample
2 : Variants
SD : Standard Deviation
To examine, if there is any significant difference between the independent variable
(X) and dependent variable (Y), the hypothesis testing is done by the statistic hypothesis
as follows:
Ho : ABCF = BBCF
Ha : ABCF BBCF
-

Ho : There is no significant difference between the vocabulary mastery of fifth grade students
of SD N 2 CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak in the academic year 2008/2009
before and after being taught by using cartoon film.
Ha : There is any significant difference between the vocabulary mastery of fifth grade students
of SD N 2 CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak in the academic year 2008/2009
before and after being taught by using cartoon film.
ABCF : The vocabulary mastery of fifth grade students of SD N 2 CangkringRembang
Karanganyar Demak in the academic year 2008/2009 after being taught by using
cartoon film.
BBCF : The vocabulary mastery of fifth grade students of SD N 2 CangkringRembang
Karanganyar Demark in the academic year 2008/2009 before being taught by using
cartoon film.

4.2 Hypothesis Testing
This research uses quantitative data, so the hypothesis testing is done by the
formula null hypothesis (Ho) which states that there is no significant difference between
the two variables. If there is a significant difference, null hypothesis will be accepted and
alternative hypothesis (Ha) will be confirmed.
In finding a significant difference of the two variables I use t-test in the level of
significance 0,05 from the degree of freedom (Db) 38 which is gained from N I + N 2 - 2. If
to is similar or more than t-table (t 1), Null hypothesis which states that there is no
significant difference between the two means from both samples will be accepted. If t o is
smaller than t-table (t 1), Null hypothesis will be confirmed. It indicates the mean
difference is no significant and the research is accepted.
The data show that the mean of the students score for the mastery of English
vocabulary before being taught by using Cartoon Film as media is 67,25 while the
mean of students score for the mastery of English vocabulary after being taugh t by using
Cartoon Film is 77,45. It can concluded that the mastery of English vocabulary for the
fifth grade students of SD N 2 CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak in academic year
-
8/12/2019 The Use of Cartoon Film
26/30
2008/2009 before being taught by using Cartoon Film is lowers than thos e are after
being taught by using Cartoon Film.
From the t-test formula, I find the t o = 12,172 and the t-table (t 1) 2,021 on the level
of significance 0,05 and (Db) 38. It means that t o is higher than t-table (t 1). The complete
description is presented in appendix 13.
Therefore, Null hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference
between the mastery of English vocabulary for the fifth grade students of SD N 2
CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak in academic year 2008/2009 after being
taugh t by using Cartoon Film is accepted. Further, the alternative hypothesis (Ha)
which states that there is any significant difference between the mastery of English
vocabulary for the fifth grade students of SD N 2 CangkringRembang Karanganyar
Demak in aca demic year 2008/2009 before being taught by using Cartoon Film, and
that of those who are after being taught by using Cartoon Film is confirmed.
4.3 Discussion
In this research, the hypothesis of the research states that there is any significant
difference between the mastery of English vocabulary for the fifth grade students of SD N2 CangkringRembang Karanganyar Demak in academic year 2008/2009 before and
after being taught by using Cartoon Film. And, the result of the experiment as follows:
4.3.1 The mastery of English vocabulary for the fifth grade students of SD N 2

taught by using cartoon film is good . It is showed by the mean of the test that is 77,45,
median is 89,48, modus is 86,3, and the standard deviation is 8,29. After being taught by
using Cartoon Film as media, students get new technique in solving their problem in
focuses of English vocabulary. Cartoon film as media is one of the English vocabulary
teaching media when they are learning vocabulary. And this media are commonly fun
and bring in relaxation. The students who are taught after being taught by using cartoon
film as media are motivated doing the steps ordered by teacher. During the teaching
process, teacher expects that students are able to memorize English words. So, the
students can memorize English vocabulary more easily.
