Abstract

This  study  is  attempted  to  investigate  the  specific  application  of techniques in teaching vocabulary to young learners at LIA English Course. More specifically, the research aims to 1) investigate the reality current techniques in teaching vocabulary to young learners 2) study difficulties that teachers at LIA encounter when teaching young learners vocabulary. The researchers have conducted a survey with the participation of 3 teachers from LIA English Course. Oral interviews, questionnaire and observation schemes were used as useful instruments for data collection. The questionnaire-based survey aims to reveal teachers’ common techniques in teaching vocabulary to young learners, general difficulties that they meet in teaching. Oral interviews and observations serve to elaborate the information gathered from questionnaires and discover teachers’ opinions on how to solve arisen problem in language classroom, especially during vocabulary section. The result of this study indicates that using flashcards in presenting, sorting tasks in practicing and sentence completion in revising vocabulary are three most preferably common techniques in teaching young learners vocabulary. Teachers also confirmed that they have adapted specific techniques with specific class; a combination of various ones is to be in consideration. In another aspect, most of the teachers reported that they encountered certain difficulties such as the use of too much L1, uncooperative students, students’ small attention. Nonetheless, most of the difficulties can be solved. The exploitation of combining different techniques remains rather limited; thus, this study provides some suggestions for teachers to realize the benefits of having available activities and games in young learners’ classroom.

Abstract

Maggie: A Girl of The Street adalah novel yang menggambarkan tentang kemiskinan penduduk New York pada abad 19. Dalam artikel ini, penulis menggunakan theory sosiologi sastra yang akan membandingkan antara kejadian yang benar – benar terjadi dengan  apa yang di temukan  di dalam novel ini. Penulis juga menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi di dalam menganalisa novel. Pendekatan ini merupakan pendekatan extrinsic dari sebuah karya sastra. Pendekatan sosiologi ini di gunakan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana keadaan yang tergambar di dalam novel mempunyai persamaan dengan fakta sebenarnya yang berkaitan dengan kemiskinan serta dampaknya terhadap wanita di daerah kumuh di New York pada abad 19. Selain itu penulis juga mengumpulkan data melalui metode kualitatif kemudian di jabarkan secara deskriptif.  Dari hasil penelitian tersebut, penulis menemukan bahwa Crane dalam novel Maggie: A gril of the streets  menampilkan gambaran dari kemiskinan serta dampaknya terhadap wanita immigran di New York pada abad 19. Setelah menganalisa novel ini terbukti bahwa hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan telah member dampak negative terhadap wanita, yaitu: keinginan yang besar untukmendapatkan pria kaya, ketidakharmonisan hubungan antara ibu dan anak, bekerja sebagia buruh dan prostitusi. Mereka merupkan korban dari kemelaratan, dan harapan untuk keluar dari kemelaratan justru membuat mereka lebih terjerumus kedalam hal yang tidak mereka inginkan. Semua dampak dari kemiskinan itu dapat di temukan dengan jelas dalam novel ini.
