INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background Of The Study
In studying English, vocabulary is needed very much by the learner
because it was the key in studying English. As Thornbury (2002: 13) states that
Vocabulary is one of language component which has an important role as well as
four language skills namely: reading, writing, speaking and listening. Without
vocabulary, learners would face difficulties to understand what everyone talked
about because the first step to learn English was memorizing vocabulary, what
Dellar and Hocking in Thornbury (2002: 13) said “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”. It means that
studying word is more important than grammar since words make you say
anything as you wanted.
Vocabulary is the most important for the language learners (Swan and
Walter in Thornbury, 2002: 14). So, It had been taught to learners’ especially
junior high school students. Vocabulary was the first step for all learners to
study English. The researcher chose the object of the research in seventh grade
of A class students at MTS PLUS Darul Ulum Peterongan Jombang. Where 50%
of A class students (40 students) achieved the Minimum Mastery Criterion
(KKM) 75 point. In this case, the researcher wanted to improve the 75% of 40
students (30 students) into the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM). The students

in the class were lack of vocabulary, did not care to increase their vocabulary;
were too lazy; had many bad reasons; and were easy to be bored in memorizing
some vocabularies. So, in this case the researcher used chants media to improve
student’s vocabulary, to make them enjoy and to motivate them in studying
vocabulary and to get them understand, and memorize some vocabularies easily
by using chants media.
Chants is a word or phrase that is repeated many times (Cambridge edictionary, 2008) or the rhythmic speaking or singing of words or sounds. Chant
could be used as media for teaching vocabulary to the students in general points
about presenting vocabulary visually (using real object, picture etc.) (Doff, 2002:
14). Thus it made the students easily and enjoy to understand and memorize
some vocabularies by using chants media. Chants media was suitable for the
students who were lazy to increase or memorize their vocabularies. This media
eased them since there were some repeated words to be listened and memorized
in learning vocabularies.
Teaching vocabulary by using chants media was one of the best way to
improve students’ vocabularies in studying English. It made the students more
active in memorizing some vocabularies. So that why teaching vocabulary
should be used some media in order the students learning would be fluency.
Teaching vocabulary should only be presented visually if it can be done quickly,
easily and clearly (Doff, 2002: 14). So teaching vocabulary would be more
active and enjoyable in learning English Lesson by using media especially in
learning Vocabulary.

There are some previous researches about teaching by using chants media,
as conducted by Wasimin (2005) and Ardiani (2013) . The first research came
from Wasimin (2005) in his thesis
entitled;“IMPROVING STUDENTS’
ENGLISH INTERACTION THROUGH JAZZ CHANTS MODEL”. In his first
cycle of the first test, the ability of the students in using finite in simple present
tense increased from 4 to 33, pronunciation and intonation increased from 2 to 33
students; the fluency in giving responses increased from 2 to 29 students.. And the
second cycle of the test, it focused on the use of simple past tense, the ability to
use finite in simple past tense increased from 31 to 33 students, pronunciation and
intonation increased from 29 to 33 students. Fluency in giving responses increased
from 28 to 32 students. In the third cycle, it focused on the use of simple future
tense increased from 20 to 38 students, pronunciation and intonation increased
from 25 to 38 students, and fluency in giving responses increased from 21 to 35
students. In the end of cycle 3 or in the fourth meeting, the researcher contrasted
the use of the three primary tenses and the result showed that 29,6% of the
students were able to use the three aspects properly.
And the second research came from Ardiani (2013) in her thesis with her
title;“IMPOVING STUDENTS’ SPEAKING COMPETENCE BY USING JAZZ
CHANTS (A Classroom Action Research at the Third Semester of English
Department,
Teacher
Training
and Education Faculty
of
Purwokerto
Muhammadiyah University in the Academic Year of 2012-2013)”. The results of
the observation were presented in the form of diary and checklists. Interviews
were taken to support initiations, the plans and the findings of the research. The
4
tests consisted of a pre-test and post-tests. They attended similarly in using the
media, but differently in subject of study and in teaching and learning method.
Those two studies above could be considered that studying by using media
especially chants media was effective for improving students skills. Vocabulary
was one of English skills, and teaching vocabulary was the first step in studying
English for the students in the class because a word was the key for the students
to say anything they needed and it was very important for the young learners for
studying.
Based on the background of the study above, the researcher implemented
chants media for junior high school of MTs Plus Darul Ulum students in A class
to improve their vocabulary to be better. Chants media gave the appropriate
strategy which was helping the students in teaching and learning process.
Despite, chants media was more interested and it did not make the students feel
bored because they learned vocabulary by listening while singing the short songs
which the word was repeated from the song. Thus, this research discussed the
use of chants media in improving student’s vocabulary. And it stated in the
following title “IMPROVING STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY BY USING
CHANTS MEDIA AT SEVENTH GRADE OF MTS PLUS DARUL ULUM
PETERONGAN JOMBANG IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2014-2015”.
