PREFACE
The final project report entitled “Teaching English Vocabulary to the 3rd
Grade Students in SDN Kartasura 05" is submitted as a partial requirement in
obtaining degree in the English Diploma Program, Faculty of Letters and Fine Arts,
Sebelas Maret University. I took this title because Vocabulary is important in learning
English. The 3rd
grade students in Elementary School had many mistakes in learning
Vocabulary especially in spelling and pronunciation. Therefore, I taught that it would
be convenient and beneficial to teach English vocabulary to 3rd
grade students
Elementary school in order to help them improve their English words well.
In short, this paper reports the process of Teaching English Vocabulary to the
third grade students of SDN Kartasura 05, the problems encountered during the job
training and the solutions of the problems encountered. By practicing the
pronunciation, it is expected that the student’s pronunciation in vocabulary can be
achieved or at least can be improve.
I realize that this final project report is so far from being perfect. Therefore,
any suggestion and criticism is needed for the improvement.
Finally, I hope that this final project report can give beneficial to all people
making final project report and can give additional knowledge to the readers.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Problem
In globalization era, people are demanded to master English as
International language. By mastering English well, people can catch and increase
knowledge, technology, culture, and keep good relationship with other-people
from other countries. English becomes International language, so the Indonesian
government gives it a special status as the first foreign language and it should be
learned in any level of education in Indonesia.
In Indonesia, English is the first foreign language that is taught to the
children in schools education. English lesson has been taught in elementary
schools. It needs to be introduced to the children early, so English must be given
and taught to students in Elementary schools in preparation to the new world.
In language teaching, vocabulary is important for the learner. Learning
English vocabulary in elementary school is very important and gives benefit. In
the first time, vocabulary is one of basic matters in English language learning.
Learners need to learn what words mean and how to make the sentences from the
words. They will understand sentences easily if they learn words as a single item.
Vocabulary is also the exposures for further English language learning, such as
writing, listening, speaking, and reading. Therefore, vocabulary acquisition should
be introduced early.
This final project reports the teaching of English especially to 3rd
grade
students. It would report the ways in presenting new words to 3rd
grade students.

CHAPTER II
LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Teaching
According to Morris, teaching can be defined as showing or helping
someone, providing knowledge, causing to know to understand. (1981:174).
Meanwhile, to Brown (2000:7), teaching can be defined as "showing or helping
someone to learn how to do something, giving instruction, guiding in the study of
something, providing with knowledge causing how to know or understand.
Another definition comes from Oxford Elementary Learner's Dictionary.
"Teaching is to give somebody lesson, to tell or show somebody how to do
something" (Oxford.2001:369).
From the definition above, we can conclude that teaching is a process to
know or to understand something and a process of guiding someone to do
something to improve the knowledge. In this case, teacher and students should be
active in learning and teaching process. Teachers can help and motivate the
students in learning something that is given by teachers. "Teacher helps the
learners develop strategies to comprehend and learn the low frequency words of
the languages" (Mc. Charty, 1997:11).
According to Jeremy Harmer, there are some characteristic that someone
should do to be a good teacher:
1. A teacher should make her/his lesson interesting
2. A teacher must love her /his job
3
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id

4
3. A teacher should have his/her own personality
4. A teacher should have a lot of knowledge
5. A good teacher is an entertainer in a positive sense not in a negative sense
(Harmer, 1998:11)
The student's motivation is also important in teaching-learning process,
because it will help this process easier and success. If there is no motivation from
the teacher or the students the process of teaching-learning would be difficult and
not interesting. Therefore, the students need the active and creative teacher in
order to make them enjoy the teaching-learning process.
B. Learning
Learning is the learner's activity during the teaching and learning process.
Hock and Hill define learning a continuous process of selecting and interacting
with experience that tend to satisfy the students' motives. They also explain that
learning process involves the selection and rejection of information or knowledge
and also activities which give them a personal meaning of each student.
Therefore, each student learns what is taught to extent that teaching has personal
meaning for him/her (1960:22).
Brown (2000:7) in his book Principle of Language Learning and
Teaching breaks down the component of definition of learning as follows:
1. Learning is acquisition or getting.
2. Learning is retention of information or skill.
3. Retention implies storage system, memory, and cognitive organization.
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id

5
4. Learning involves active, conscious focus on and acting upon events outside
or inside the organism.
5. Learning is relatively permanent but subject to forgetting.
6. Learning involves some form of practice, perhaps reinforced practice.
7. Learning is a chance in behavior.
From the definition above, it can be concluded that learning is a process of
getting information and skill from some practices and study of something.
C. Vocabulary
Vocabulary is very important in both learning and teaching. Vocabulary is
basic of language. Vocabulary can not be separated from learning language
because it is considered as a part of language. The first thing that is taught when
learning language especially English is vocabulary. It means that vocabulary is a
key to communicate with others. According to Schmit, " The most important part
of learning foreign language is learning vocabulary ” (Schmit, 1997:2001).
Me Charty said "The biggest component of any language course is
vocabulary" (1990: VIII). It means that vocabulary is one important thing when
learning foreign language first, without vocabulary we can't improve the
knowledge about new words. Besides, vocabulary is very important to understand
in learning material and comprehending text. According to Dellar H and Hocking
D, "if you spend most of your time studying grammar, your English will not
improve very much. You will see most improvement if you learn more words and
expressions. You can say very little with grammar, but you can say almost
anything with words!" Shortly, it can be concluded that in learning language, we
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id
commit to user
6
should have a lot of vocabulary, because without vocabulary it is difficult to
express and to understand something.
Moreover, Coady and Hockin define "The Vocabulary is central to
language and critical importance to the typical language learner" (Coady and
Hockin, 1997:5). So it is obvious that vocabulary is an important component in
English language teaching. It is also important to introduce English to the students
as a second language.
D. Teaching Vocabulary to Children
Teaching English for Elementary school is different from teaching English
for Junior High school or Senior High school students. Students in elementary
school are children who are very active. Kerstin Klein in his book Teaching
Young Learners (1993:6) defines that teaching young learners is different from
teaching adults. Children tend to change their mood every other minute and they
find it extremely difficult to sit still. On the other hand, they show a greater
motivation than adults to do things that appeal to them. In teaching English to
children, the English teacher has to make interesting materials. The teacher should
be creative in managing the classroom in order to make the class alive.
According to Wendy and Lisabeth H. Ytreberg, children have certain
characteristics. Some characteristics of children are describing below:
1. They understand situations more quickly than they understand the language
used.
2. Their own understanding comes through hands, eyes and ears.
3. They are very logical- what you say first happened first.
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id

7
4. They are very short attention and concentration span.
5. Young children sometimes have difficulty in knowing what fact is and what
fiction is.
6. Young children are often happy playing and working alone, but in the
company of others.
7. Young children cannot decide for themselves what to learn.
8. Young children love to play, and learn best when they are enjoying
themselves.
9. Young children are enthusiastic about learning.
(Wendy A. Scott and Lisbeth H. Ytreberg, 1990:2-3)
In teaching English, it is important to know characteristics of the children.
The basic concepts of the children's in early age are formed. They also ask
questions all the time, so the children have great willing in learning language,
because language is a tool of communication to express what they want to say and
what they feel.
E. Strategies in Teaching English Vocabulary
According to Nation in his book Bahasa Inggris -Vocabulary (2008:98)
The strategy is important in order to make the students easier to learn
language.
There are several ways of quickly giving attention to a word. They are as
follows:
Writing the word on the board.
Getting the learner to repeat of the pronunciation of the word.
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id
commit to user
8
Showing how the spelling of the word is like the spelling of known words.
Giving the stress pattern of the word and the pronunciation.
Pointing out any spelling irregularities in the word.
(Nation, 2008:98)
The strategies above are important to support learning English vocabulary.
Learning vocabulary without repetition and practice will forget the lesson
easily. Therefore, the writer chooses these strategies in order to be more effective
and the learners receive foreign language (English) easily. According to the book
The Primary English Teacher's Guide written by Brewster, there are some
techniques in teaching vocabulary as follows:
Using object
Introducing a new word by showing the real object helps students to memorize
word trough visualization. Teacher can use object or bring the things in the
classroom to help students know the meaning of the word.
Using illustration and pictures
A great deal of vocabulary can be introduced by sing illustration or pictures.
Visual support helps he students understand the meaning and it also makes the
words ore memorable.
Repetition
Say the word again and again. It helps students in memorizing the word,
because children learn new words relatively quickly but they also forget them
quickly.
Mime expressions and gesture
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id
commit to user
9
Many word can be introduce through mime expressions and gesture. For
example, if teacher wants to introduce "the name of animal", student can learn
the meaning of the word by imitating the sound of the animal or the way of the
animal walk or eat.
Guessing from the context
Encourage students to guess the meaning of the word they do not know as
much as possible. It will help them to build their self confidence. Students can
guess words through illustration, similarity spelling or sound in the mother
tongue and general knowledge.
Practicing and checking vocabulary
Once a new word has been introduced, you will want to provide the
opportunities students practice and check that they understand it. There are a
variety of activities that can be used:
Matching words to pictures
Guessing games
Labeling

B. Job Training Activities
1. Classrooms observation
To get the data, the writer observes the condition and situation of
teaching and learning process in 3rd
grade students of SDN Kartasura 05,
Kartasura. To add data, the writer also involves herself as a temporary English
teacher. For 3rd
grade in SDN Kartasura 05, Kartasura, learning English is
something new in their life, so the teacher must give something easy to the
students.
The 3rd grade of SDN Kartasura 05, Kartasura has 14 students. They
are 10 boys and 4 girls and with the age between 8-10 years old. It is a new
case for them in learning English, so the teacher needs certain methods than
can be used in teaching 3rd grade students in order to make them understand
well what they have learned. The content of third classroom is 14 desks, a
teacher table, a clock, two whiteboards, a cupboard, and cleaning tools. Each
desk is sited for one student. The condition of the class is good enough
because there are some windows and ventilations that make the class bright
and fresh.
2. Making Lesson plan
A Lesson plan is very important in teaching process. Teachers always
write a lesson plan before teaching students. A Lesson plan is arranged in
order to make teacher easy in preparing and giving material. The lesson plan
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id
commit to user
12
for elementary school is easy because the writer wants the students more
understand to the material given by teacher. The contents of lesson plan are
introduction, explanation, practicing, and closing the material. In each lesson
plan, the writer takes the material from the student's book, so it would make
the material appropriate with he student's condition in learning English.
3. The teaching and learning English vocabulary to 3rd
grade students in
SDN Kartasura 05, Kartasura.
a. Introduction
Teaching and learning activity in SDN Kartasura 05, Kartasura was
begun at 07.00 in the morning. Before the lesson began, the class leader
leads his/her friends to pray together. The teacher always greets the
students when the lesson began.
For example:
Teacher : "Good morning, students!”
Students : "Good morning, Miss!"
Teacher : "How are you to day?”
Students : "I am fine, thank you."
"And how are you?"
Teacher : "I am fine too, thank you"
The greeting was always done in every meeting. It was continued
by asking the students some questions related to the material that would be
taught. For example: when the teacher would like to explain about
animals, she gave some questions related to animal, such as: Do you have
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id
commit to user
13
animal at home?" "What animal do you like?" By giving them questions
related to the material, they would be easier to understand what the topic
that would be taught by the teacher.
b. Explanation
In this stage, the teacher gave new material. The teaching material
given was vocabularies related to the animals. The teacher asked the
students to open the handbook, and then the teacher explained them about
material. The teacher used the pictures with the name or the explanation of
picture of something. This way can make the student learn vocabulary
easily by looking at the picture.
To explain the material, the teacher read the names of animal in the
picture one by one, and asked the students to follow at teacher with right
pronunciation and spelling. After that the teacher would give the meaning
of the words.
For example:
Teacher : "Ok students, now repeat the word after me"
"R_A_B_B_I_T (/ar/; /ei/; /bie/; /bie; /ai/; tie)"
"RABBIT"
Students : "ar; ei; bie; bie; ai; tie" "RAEBITI"
Teacher : "Good! The meaning of rabbit is kelinci" (giving applause)
Teacher : "Dina? Now is tirte for you, ok repeat after me"
"D_O_G (die;ow;jie)"
"Dag! Ok please Dina"
perpustakaan.uns.ac.id digilib.uns.ac.id
commit to user
14
Dina : “die; ow; jie" Dag!”
Teacher : "Good job Dina"
Sometimes the pronunciation of the English words was difficult for
the students, because the English words are different with the spoken. In
teaching vocabulary the teacher should be careful in pronunciation. Such
as: butterfly, tiger, lion, monkey, and crocodile. And the students say"
buterflai, tiger, monkey, crocodile” It would be better if the teacher wrote
it on the blackboard, then asked the students to repeat the pronunciation
one by one.
c. Exercises
After the teacher presented the lesson, she would continue the
lesson by giving exercises. There were many types of exercise that could
be given to the students.
d. Guessing the name of the animal
In this exercise, the teacher gave some clues, and asked the
students to guess the name of the animal related to the clues.
For example:
1. This animal is big, has two big ears, have four legs, and eats the grass
So, the name of this animal is....?
2. This animal has four legs, it is a pet, and its sound is miaw, what the
name of animal is.. ?
3. This animal is small, have two legs, its can fly and its sound is cit..cuit
what this animal..?

commit to user
15
After doing exercises, the students were asked to write the correct
answer in the blackboard then they must tell the meaning in the class,
e. Making a dialogue
In this exercise, the teacher asked the students to make a dialogue
based on the picture of animals, classification about wild or tame animal
and where their live. Then the teacher gave example to the students in
order to make them understand what they would do.
For example:
Cristina : "Kiki, do you know tiger?"
Kiki : "Yes, I know it is the wild animal"
Cristina : "Where it lives?
Kiki : " It lives in the jungle or in the zoo"
Satya : "Dika, do you know cow?"
Dika : "Yes I know, it is a tame animal
Satya : "Where it live?"
Dika : "It lives in cattle breeding"

f. Games
A Game was one component to support the students memorizing
the material. By doing a game, the students would not feel bored and
sleepy. The teacher divided the class into some groups. Each group
choosing one of their friends as a leader in front of the class and the
teacher gave a word related the material to them, and then the students
whispered that word to their friends. One of the other friends from each
group wrote it on the blackboard with the meaning. If their answer was
correct, they would get high score. The group that reached the highest
score would become the winner and would get a prize.
g. Song
In teaching and learning activity, the students are not always
followed well, sometimes their feel boring or sleepy. The song can make
the students more enthusiastic with the lesson, because the children are
very active.
For example:
One two three
Here we are studying English
Four five six
I love the English lesson
English lesson English lesson

can make the students enjoy in learning English.
2. The problems and the solutions in the process of teaching and learning
English vocabulary to the 3rd
grade students of SDN Kartasura 05,
Kartasura.
a. The students’ problem
English is the first foreign language that is delivered to the 3rd
grade students In SDN Kartasura 05. This language is different in spelling
and pronouncing than students’ mother toungue. The students get the
difficulties in pronouncing the words. Some students did not interest in
learning English too much. It is not easy to learn English for children
because English has many differences of concept to their own language
and their customs. The students still used their mother tongue in their daily
conversation, therefore they are less interested in learning in learning
English.
Another students’ problem is the class condition. The teacher was
feel difficulties to make the students keep silent. They often make noises
during teaching and learning activities. Sometimes they did not listen to
what the teacher said, because they had their own activities in the class.
They like to singing in the class, running in the class, make any voices by

hitting the desk, and talk to their friends. If there was one student want to
go to the toilet the others would follow him/her. For example:
"Miss, may I go to the toilet?" and the other students are follow "I want go
to the toilet Miss". Sometimes the other students follow him/her friend
without permission. The noisy classroom will not make them concentrate
on the lesson well, therefore they can not catch what the teacher explains
in the class.
b. The limited material and facilities
The limited book is a problem in teaching English vocabulary. It is
not easy to find a good book for teaching vocabulary to the children. The
book that is used in this teaching activity is taken from student's book
entitled "Seruni". It published by PT. Era Pustaka Utama. In this book, the
materials are complex and not complete, so it takes time for the teacher to
make the students understand to the lesson.
The limited facilities are another problem in teaching English
vocabulary. Facilities are parts of education system that is used to support
the education activities. In this school, the facilities that support English
class activities are not adequate. The school lacks of source of the media to
support the class activities such English story book, game, etc.
c. Solution for the problems in process of teaching and learning
vocabulary.

1) Students' problems
In handling the students’ problem, the teacher should ask the
students to pronounce the word correctly as often as possible. For
example: the teacher reads the words and the students repeat more than
twice what the teacher pronounces. The teacher uses two languages in
order to make the students understand what the teacher explains and
the students enjoy in learning English.
To solve the problem in class conditions, the teacher has some
ways in order to control them in teaching and learning process.
Sometimes the teacher gives advice to handle the noisy situation. The
teacher uses strategy to attract the student's attention by giving games
related to the material. It is hoped that they can be more interested and
can catch the vocabulary easily.
2) The limited material and facilities
To solve the problem about the limited material, the teacher has
to choose the good books and complete books. The teacher tries to be
more selective in choosing the appropriate material for the students.
The teacher chooses the topic which is completed with many colorful
pictures, the simple vocabulary and grammar in order to make the
students understand in learning this subject matter. The teacher
prepares some facilities to support the English learning such as: the

facilities can increase the student's motivation in learning vocabulary.
