Assalaamuaalaikum
Halloo everyone
Welcome back on my blog
Since the end of the Second World War in 1945 English become an international language. Now a day, so many people who want to master English, because when they master English they can talk with other people in different country and also can get information easily. As we know, English is a foreign language in our country Indonesia, accordingly we only get the material to understanding English in the school. Therefore, school has a big responsibility for students ability about English.
Thus far, many teachers are not confident about the best practice in vocabulary teaching and at times do not know where to begin till the most basic principle in vocabulary teaching and learning have been forgotten or ignored, because schools usually only focus on learning grammar. Wilkins (1972) states that: There is not much value in being able to produce grammatical sentences if one has not got the vocabulary that is needed to convey what one wishes to say  While without grammar very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed p97.
