CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of Study

Mastering vocabulary is not easy, yet other aspects of the language should

be considered such as sound, and structure. Vocabulary is one of the most

important elements in a language. To speak the language well needs to master it.

No matter how well you learn grammar, how successfully the sound of a foreign

language just cannot happen in any meaningful way. 1

It is important to know about vocabulary because a word has different

meanings between British and American. The English which is used in United

Stated is somewhat different from the English which is used in Great Britain as

Stuart Redman says:

People in Brilai11 and ,,.J111erica u11dersram/ each or her perfectly most qfthe lime. but 1here are differences in grmmnar. i·oat!Ju/ar)', spelling. and pronunciation. With vocabulan'. 1he same word may have u different meaning. e.g. British c/11jJ.1· are American .fi'ench fi'ies. and American chips are British cri.1ps. Sometimes there are difj'erenl 11·ordsfi>r the same thing a lony in British

' is called a 1rnck in American English.-

Mastering vocabulary can help to get easier to use a language as Norbert

Schmitt says "large vocabulary can help to express ideas precisely in

communication. Vocabulary knowledge enables language use; language use

enables the increase of it. and knowledge of the world e;iables the increase of it

and language use and so on."3

2 Stuart Redman. English Vocabulary in Use (Jakarta: Er!angga, 2001) p. 200-20 I

Page 9: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

Mastering English language well needs a large number of the words. This

belief is not wrong because limited vocabulary is doubtful to use the language

precisely and vividly. And sometimes it can cause to get difficulties 111

understanding the meaning of words, in differentiating the word forms, and 111

applying the words in sentences. When a word is found out. it can not be known

its form grammatically, such as; noun, verb, adjective, or adverb. When a word is

looked up the meaning of words you always find several meanings given.

To know word building can help to understand meaning of a word and

increase vocabulary easily as AM. Zainuri says "on the other hand in vocabulary,

many English words consist of roots and affixes. They frequently can be found in

many contexts of reading texts; and in conversation of speaking and listening.

Recognizing roots and affixes can increase vocabulary effectively.''4

One of ways to recognize roots and affixes is playing an enjoyable game.

Hansen stated that games are highly motivating and entertaining and they can give

shy students more opportunity to express their opinions and feelings. 5.

From the descriptions above, it shows that recognizing roots and affixes

can help to master vocabulary. Games can help to recognize roots and affixes.

One of games is scrabble game that provides an enjoyable atmosphere, a situation

in which vocabulary is essential and a distraction from the study of language itself

and also help to create a word from some letters in which students' attention are

focused on the completion of asking without necessarily being practice. It will

help an English teacher to help students arrive at a higher level of language

proficiency.

B. Limitation and Research Question

The writer limited the research in discussing about countable and

uncountable nouns. The subject of this study is students of the first class of SMPN

2 Ciputat

The writer makes a question to do his research, how effective does playing

scrabble game reinforce vocabulary building?

C.Objective of Study

The objective of study is to get an easier way to reinforce vocabulary by

identifying and analyzing the elements of word forms through enjoyable game.

D. Significance of Study

The writer hopes that his research will give significant advantages in

reinforcing vocabulary for someone who reads his research paper. He also hopes

that performers will know about getting an easier way to reinforce vocabulary

through an enjoyable game.

E. Organization of Writing

In his research paper, the writer divides it into four chapters.

Chapter One is the introduction. It consists of background of the study,

research question and limitation, objective of study, significance of study, and

organization of writing.

Chapter Two is theoretical framework. It discusses about definition of

game, the forms of language game, the role of game in language teaching, the

principle of game selection, definition of scrabble game, rules of playing scrabble

game, definition of vocabulary, kinds of vocabulary items, reinforcers, schedule

ofreinforcement, reinforcing vocabulary through scrabble game.

Chapter Three is purpose of study, place and time of study, population and

sample of study, instrument of study, teclmique of collecting data, technique of

data analysis, hypothesis, the description of data, the analysis of data, and the test

of hypothesis.

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A.Game

1. Definition of Game

The word "game" has been applied to a wide variety of human behavior to

determine exactly what is meant by "game". According to Oxford advance

dictionary, game is a form of competitive play or sport with rules. 6 Andrew

Wright stated that game is an activity with rules, a goal and an element of fun. 7

And also Rita Susanna Larcabal stated that game pro\'ides an enjoyable

atmosphere, a situation in which communication is essential and a distraction

from the study of language itself. 8 Game helps to create a context in which

children's attention is focused on the completion of task without necessarily being

practiced. So a result language learning takes place in a context that children can

directly relate to.9

T.S Rodgers in Connie L. Shoemaker states that games have five basic

characteristics, as follows;

a. Competitive

b. Governed by rules

c. Goal-defined, eng1ging in that they challenge the participants

d. They have closer on a predetermined point at which they are finished

2. Forms of Language Games

There are many fonns of games applied in a wide variety of human life,

such as psychoanalytic games and war game, game of chance and game of

strategy, game for the young and the old. There are many familiar games in which

we are involved either as a spectator or a participant. !n teaching learning

activities, there are many available techniques to transfer the teaching points to

students such as demonstration, discussion, games and so on

William Francies Mackey made games divided into;

• Listening game. It consists of perception games that are the grape

vine and comprehension game that is find the object.

• Speaking game consists of observation game including ··point and

say, Kim's game the here and there game.

• Reading game consists of recognition game such as "matching the

card, say the word kind the word and roulette. compare game read

and go game.

• Writing game consists of spelling game such as ·'The magician's

game, crosswords puzzle, composition game include the label and

d d. JO eco mg game.

3. Roles of Game in Language Teaching

The role of the game in teaching English is to provide a welcome break in

the lesson routine. The games provide new and interesting context for practicing

language already learned and for acquiring new language in the process. Game as

a technique plays its role in language learning to provide very much fun and

relaxation within the frame of language learning and may even reinforces that

learning.

Using games in language teaching helps students to see learning English

as enjoyable moment. Playing games in the classroom develops the student's

!O William Francies Mackey, Language Teaching Analysis, (London: Longman, Green and Co. Ltd. 1995). o. 439

ability to cooperate with other students in order to win the competition. Adewui

Fawui Abala stated "One significant different between language games and other

activity is that they introduce an element of competition into their lesson while we

wouldn't wish the students to become excessively competitive. 11

4. Principles of Game Selection

In determining the role of games in developing student's vocabulary, the

teacher needs to have their purpose clearly in mind if the major purpose is to make

learning English vocabulary effectively and successfully. The English teacher

thinks carefully about the game selection a head of time before working out their

lesson plan. On the other hand they have considered principles of using games.

According to Emilio G Cortez there are some principles of game selection,

as follows: 12

a. The games should reinforce a particular point of language that the

student's lack

b. The games should offer practice for items previously taught

c. The games should involve many members of the class and not a just a few

d. The contexts should be appropriate to be incorporated in the game

e. The games should contain elements of surprise of competition

f. The games should provide sufficient motion to heighten and to sustain

interest

g. The games should conduct in an enough space of the classroom

B. Scrabble

1. Definition of Scrabble Game

Scrabble is a game which needs vocabulary to play. They can make a word

from 7 letters given to each player to put on an available scrabble board in this

game. It can be played by 2 - 4 persons to play the game where one of them must

get the highest score to win the game.

2. Rules of Playing Game

In playing scrabble game, there are many differenc•es in conducting the

rules due to different rule, which is made by each country or even region. To play

scrabble game needs rules to play and how to play as Merriam Webster from The

Official Tournament and Club Word List (OWL) explains the rules of playing

scrabble game as follows: 13

a. A player can extend a word in two directions tournament simultaneously in one turn, for instance ARJ'vl is on the board, it can be extended to be CHARMED in one turn. It's well within the rules to do so

b. Players have much time to make a play during scrabble game at a club or tournament. There are two commonly accepted methods for controlling the time of a scrabble game. First. a three-minute hourglass may be used to time each play. After 54 minutes the game is over and both players now have one more play before totaling the final score. Second, chess clocks are set up so that each person is given 25 minutes to complete all his or her turns. That way, then a/he is penalized 10 pc. every minute or fraction of a minute used more than the original 25. It's a different mle toward the writer's club, a player has one minute to make a word in one turn for each player.

c. It's acceptable to simply add one or more letters to a word, to either the front or back or to both the front and back.

d. A player can add just an S to a word already on the board. In the writer's club, a player can add S for countable words and verbs but the word S must forn1s a new word.

e. A player may play at right angles to a word f. A player may play parallel to a word as along as adjacent letters form

words horizontally and vertically. g. A player may not play tiles diagonally across the board.

Page 15: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

h. The tiles a player plays must be contained in a word or played in a straight line.

1. For playing the blank has special rules. The officials don't allow a player, later in the game, to change the letter that the blank represent. Like wise, a player may not repeal the blank with the letter it represents and uses the blank in another word. In the writer's club, the blank has all-purpose use in making a new word but it is not accounted to get point.

J. A player may exchange tiles (from one to seven) as along as there are at last seven tiles still in the bag. A player must decide which tiles he wants to exchange first then remove them from your rack and place the facedown on the table. Only then may you draw your new tiles, place them on your rack, and replace the exchanged tiles back in the pool. In writer's club, a player can exchange the tiles if a player has same word in a letter; for example, a player has three of S letters. And also a player can exchange one to seven tiles, in his one turn and s/he won't get his turn to get a point

k. The rules state that a player can challenge until the next turn. The Nation Scrabble Association has developed a more precise definition for when a player may challenge. First, using sand timers or no timers. Once a player has announced his or her score, the opponent may "Hold" or challenge after he has drawn at least one tile from the pool. The opponent may not challenge or hold anymore. Second, using tournament clock. After player has staited his or her opponent's timer, the opponent may "hold" or challenge. At above, once the player has drawn at least one tile from the pool, the opponent may not challenge or hold anymore. Using clock. Once an opponent has called "hold" at the paper time, she/he wants to think insist on drawing tiles after one minute, as long as s/he keeps the replacement tiles separates from the old tiles. This is called the Comtesy Rule if there is a successful challenging, the opponent may see the replacement tiles before, and the player returns them to the poo I.

I. The game is over when a player uses all of his or her tiles and there are no more tiles to draw. That payer then earns the points still remaining in all the other players' racks, while the others subtract from their point total the sum of the points still on the racks. In NSA club a tournament play, they use a slightly different rule. The player who ends the game earns double the sum of the letters on the other player's rack,, and the other player's rack subtract nothing from their total. For example, player #1, with 323 points, ends the game while player #2 with 320, still has EM on his rack. Player #I should receive 2X (I+ 3+ 3+ 3) = 14 points extra. The final total player#! = 337 and player #2 = 320. In the writer's club, the game is over when a player uses all the tiles or if it is not yet out of the tiles, it will stop playing in I hour.

m. The bonus is only scored for the player who originally coves the bonus

Page 16: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

already covering a bonus square don't score the bonus points. For example, suppose FAZE is placed with the Z on the Double Word Score square and scores total of 32 pt. If someone later adds an S to from FAZES, the Double Word Score is not counted.

n. Whenever there is a challenge, regardless if how many words are acceptable or not, someone loses exactly one turn. The player must remove all letters from the board play it that turn and scores zero.

o. If all the words formed on the play and acceptable. the challenger loses his or her next turn.

p. If all seven tiles of the player's rack have been used for this play, the add an extra 50 pt.

From the rules of playing scrabble above, it shows:

There are many different rules are conducted by each country or region.

Playing scrabble game needs play techniques in making a new word from the

tiles given. Making a new word needs to recognize roots and affixes.

C. Vocabulary

1. Definition of Vocabulary

There are definitions of vocabulary given by experts. \I ocabulary is the

total number of words that (with ruler for combining them) make up a language. 14

Harimukti Kridalaksana says "vocabulary is a component of language that

maintains all information about meaning and using words in a language)." 1; And

in Webster's Dictionary, vocabulary is defined as follows:

p.956

a. <\ list or collection of words and phrases usually alphabetically

arranged and explained or defined.

b. A sum or stock of words employed by a language group individual or

work or in relation to a subject scope of language

c. A list of foreign language textbook of the words and phrases taught or

used.

14 AS. Homby, Oxford advanced Leamer's Dictionmy, (Oxford University Press, 1985),

Page 17: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

While Hatch and Brown define vocabulary as a list or set of words for a

particular language or a list or set of words that individual speakers of language

might use. 16 Yang Zhihong defines vocabulary is the stock of words used in

language. 17

From the definitions above. the writer can conclude that vocabulary is a

list or set of words that maintains all information and make up a language.

2. Kinds of Vocabulary Items

Knowing a word is needed to understand meaning of a sentence. There are

two kinds of words: full words and fo1m words that are needed to know because

there are some words can be found in a dictionary and also there are some words

are grammatical words that can "t be found in a dictionary but they only have

grammatical meaning as A.iVl Zainuri says

Full 1rords and form words are ofien kn01r11 as co111ent words and emp!_v words. For instance: The boys will play [!OI{ tomorrow. FJ·om the example. it can c/assif)'.· boys. plav. [!Oi/: and tomorrow. are included in jiill words category or content word1·. meanwhile the. and ll'ill. are included in fhrm irords or empty i1·ord1·. A 1rnrd irhose meaning is expecled to be fimnd in a diclionm:v is a word which is included in fi11/ 1rnrds or con/en/ ll'ords. Form irnrds or emply words are included in grammatical categmy and have grammatical meaning. 18

Furthermore Fries explains vocabulary items have four kinds that are

classified into four groups as follows: 1'>

a) First, there are the "function words'" those words which, although some of them may have also full-word meaning content, primarily or largely operate as means of expressing relations of gr:mmrntical structure. These include so-called auxiliaries: prepositions, conjunctions,

interrogative particles, and a miscellaneous group consisting of the words for degree, for generalizing, the article, etc. The important auxiliaries are; be, have, do, may, (might), can (could), will (would), shall (should) must, ought to. The important preposition-adverb (most frequent used): at, by, for, from, to, of, on, and with, behind, in front of, over, under, above, below, beside, between, beyond, around, (place), (direction) th.rough, into, out of, toward, away from, up, down, across (time), before, after, during, since, until (comparison) like, different, as ... as, ... than.

Interrogative particles: who, whose, which, what, when, where, why, how, articles the, a, an, degree words more, most, the generalizing particle ever, and special uses of there, it, and one whether; (conclusion) therefore. b) The second kind of vocabulary items consists of the "substitute"words: The personal pronouns: I, me, us, you, he, him, she, her, they, them, our, your, his, its, their, mine, ours, yours, theirs, the indefinites, any (one/body/thing/where); and the negative; none,, no body/lhinglwhere; quantity or number each; both, all, some, any, few, many, several, much, one, ones, llvo, etc Other substitutes include; do (yes, I do), lhink, say, !ell, seem, appear, hope, believe, fear, guess. and the word so. c) The third kind of vocabulary item consist of those that are distributed in use according to such grammatical matters as the presence or absence of a negative; some (I have some), any (I don't have any), 100, eirher, already, yet,, etc. d) The fourth group is of '·content" words in English, these content words fall into three classes; class I, the words for things; such as; hat, stone, water, paper, knife, food, blood, etc. The fourth group is of content words becomes the larges and the meanings can be looked up in the dictionary.

From the descriptions above, the writer can conclude that in a sentence

there are content words that their meanings can be found in a dictionary and

empty words that have grammatical meaning.

3. What Do Students Need to Know?

a: Meaning20

The first thing to realize about vocabulary items i~; that they frequently

have more than one meaning. The word 'book' for example, obviously refers to

something you use to read from - (a written work in the form of) a set of printed

pages fastened together inside a cover, as a thing to be read, according to one

learner's dictionary. But the same dictionary then goes on to list eight more

meanings of book as a noun, two meanings of book as a verb and three meanings

where 'book' +preposition makes phrasal verbs. So it can be said that the word

'book' sometimes means the kind of thing you read from, but it can also mean a

number of other things.

When a word is come across, then, and tried to decipher its meaning it is

needed to look at the context in which it is used. If a woman is in a theatre arguing

at the ticket office and saying 'But I booked my tickets three weeks ago· it will

obviously understood a meaning of the verb 'book' which is different from a

policeman (accompanied by an unhappy-looking man at a police station) saying to

his colleague. 'We booked him for speeding.' In other words. it is needed to

understand the importance of meaning in context.

There are other facts about meaning too. Sometimes words have meanings

in relation to other words. Thus students need to know the meaning of 'vegetable'

as a word to describe any one of a number of other things - ~.g. carrots, cabbage,

potatoes, etc. 'Vegetable' has a general meaning whereas ·carrot' is more specific.

The meaning of a word can be understood like 'good' and in the context of a word

like 'bad'. Words have opposite (antonyms) and they also have other words with

similar meanings (synonyms) - e.g. 'bad' and 'evil'. Even in that example,

however, one thing is clear: words seldom have absolute synonyms, although

context may take them synonymous on particular occasions. As far as meaning

20 Jeren1y Harn1er, The Practice of English Language Teaching ne1v edition, (London: T.nno-n1~n JQ()l) n 1.;;r,

Page 20: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

goes, then students need to know about meaning in context and they need to know

about sense relations.

From the descriptions above, the writer can conclude:

- Many English words have more than one meaning

- Sometimes words have meanings in relation to other words (by looking at the

context in which it is used) such as antonyms and synonyms, general and

specific meaning, etc.

So, to know a meaning needs to know meaning in context and sense relations.

b. Word Use21

What a word means can be changed, stretched or limited by how it is used

and this is something students need to know about.

Word meaning is frequently stretched through the use of melaphor and

idiom. It is known that the word 'hiss', for example. describes the noise that

snakes make. But stretching its meaning describes the way people talk to each

other ('"Don't move or you're dead," she hissed.') that is metaphorical use. At the

same time it can be talked about treacherous people as snakes ('He's a real snake

in the grass·). 'Snake in the grass' is a fixed phrase that has become an idiom like

countless other phrases such as 'raining cats and dogs', 'putting the cat among the

pigeons', 'straight from the horse's mouth', etc.

Word meaning is alco governed by collocation - that is which words go

with each other. In order to know how to use the word 'sprained' needs to know

that whereas it can be said 'sprained ankle, 'sprained wrist' and cannot be said

'sprained thigh' or sprained rib. It can be said a headache, stomachache or

earache, but cannot be said a throatache' or a legache.

Using words are often only in certain social and topical contexts. A saying

is governed by the style and register it is in. To tell some one about getting angry

is needed to choose carefully between the neutral expression of this fact (I'm

angry) and the informal version ('I'm really pissed off). The latter would

21 Jeremy Harmer, The Practice of English Language Teaching new edition, (London: T r.nn•~~<>•~ 1OQ1 \ n 1 .::;r,;_ J t;,,'7

Page 21: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

certainly seem rude to listeners in certain contexts. At a different level can be

recognized that two doctors talking about an illness will talk in a different register

than one of them who then talks to the patient in question - who has never studied

medicine.

From the descriptions above, the writer can conclude:

- Words use frequently are metaphor and idiom from word meaning

- There is a collocation that is which words go with each other in word meaning

- There are style and register words such as formal and informal words.

So, it's better for us to recognize metaphorical language use, know how words

collocate, and understand stylistic and topical contexts words and expressions.

c. Word Formation22

Words can change their shape and their grammatical value. too. Students

need to know facts about word formation and how to twist words to fit different

grammatical contexts. Thus the verb 'run' has the participles 'running· and 'run'.

The present participle 'running' can be used as an adjective and 'run' can also be

a noun. There is a clear relationship between the words ·death". 'dead', 'dying'

and' die'.

Students also need to know how suffixes and prefixes work. How lo make

the words potent and expensive opposite in meaning? Why it is prefaced one with

im- and the other with in-? There are two kinds of suffixes in English, inflectional

and derivational.

The inflectional suffixes are the ones to lean in studying of gamma: the -s

or - es ending of the verbs with the subject of the third person singular; the -ing

ending on the verb forms; the --ed of the past tense of the verbs; the -s that makes

noun plural, the --er that makes adjective comparative, and so forth. On the other

hand, derivational suffixes change the meaning of the base in some important

way, or else change into a different word class. They turn nouns into adjective,

adjective into verbs, nouns of one type into nouns of another type, and so on.

Page 22: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

verbs are followed by a bare infinitive without 'to'. When students don't have this

kind of knowledge they come up with erroneous sentence which all teachers

instantly recognize, e.g. 'He said me to come;, 'I must to go' etc. It should be 'I

must go• without adding 'to' after modal auxiliaries.

There are many other areas of grammatical behavior that students need to

know about: what are phrasal verbs and how do they behave? How are adjectives

ordered? What positions can adverbs be used in? Without this knowledge can it

really said that students know vocabulary items such as 'look up' (as in a

dictionary), 'tired' and 'worn' or 'greedily'?

In this section is that knowing a word means far more than just

understanding (one of) its meaning(s). Somehow our teaching must help students

to understand what this knowledge implies both in general and for certain words

in particular. By being aware students will be more receptive to the contextual

behaviour of words when they first see them in texts, etc. and they will be better

able to manipulate both the nlmeanings and forms of the word.

From the descriptions above, the writer can conclude that there are many

words are countable and uncountable noun, singular and plural that can change

according to their grammatical patterns.

D. Reinforcement

1. Reinforcers

A reinforcer is an event which controls behavior. Consequences or

reinforcers may be positive (things a person will try to get or retain) or negative

(things a person will try to avoid or escape). Reinforcers may be used to increase

(reinforce) or decrease (punish) a behavior. A reinforcer may be either presented

or withdrawn to influence the strength of behavior. Thus, there are four distinct

methods of influencing a behavior by presenting or withdrawing positive or

negative reinforcers. The process of reinforcement always results in an increase or

strengthening of behavior. Punishment always results in a decrease or weakening r

Page 24: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

punishment. Negative reinforcement, withdrawing something unpleasant after a

behavior, has the effect of increasing or accelerating the behavior it follows.

Punishment, withdrawing something pleasant or presenting something unpleasant

after a behavior, has the opposite effect of decreasing or decelerating the behavior

it follows. 26

Positive Reinforcer

(something you will work to get)

Positive Reiriforcement

Effect: Increase or strengthen behavior which produces reinforcer; acceleration of

behavior.

Example

Behavior: Child begins assigned seatwork.

Consequence: Teacher smiles at child and remarks, "Good, I see you've started!"

If the child's initial effort at doing his assigned work is consistently given

immediate attention and praise by the teacher, the promptness with which he

begins his work will likely increase.

Negative Reinforcer

(something you will work to avoid)

Punishment

Effecl: Decrease or weaken behavior which produces reinforcer: deceleration of

behavior

Examyle

Behavior: Child destroys paper other children.

Consequence: Teacher points at child and shouts "NO!"

If the teacher is generally positive, controlled, and soft-spoken in his interaction

with the child, but consistently points at child and shouts "no!" when he begins to

destroy another child's paper, child's destruction of papers will likely decrease.

2. Schedule of Reinforcement

Effective control of behavior is largely a result of the arrangement of

consequences. In any behavior-management situation there are rules, either

explicitly stated or implicit in the sequence of events, which determine the

arrangement of rewards and punishment. These rules which arrange the

relationship between the occurrence of behavior and its consequences are called

contingencies or schedule of reinforcement. A contingency states the conditions

under which reinforcement will occur. For example, the child may be required to

do a certain number of specified behaviors to obtain reinforcement, or he may be

expected to complete a task during a certain time interval to get a reward n

There are two classes of reinforcement schedule: continuous, in which

every response is reinforced, and intermillenl, in which not all of the child's

appropriate responses are reinforced.

I. Continuous Reinforcement

Every time the behavior occurs, it is reinforced.

For example, each time the child completes an arithmetic problem correctly he is

given a point for his progress chart.

II. Intermittent Reinforcement

A. Ratio Schedules

Reinforcement is given for every n '11 behavior and depends on the number

of behaviors the child performs regardless of time.

I. Fixed Ratio

A fixed number of behaviors must occur for each reinforcement.

Example: Every I O'lt sight word read correctly is rewarded with a piece of

candy.

2. Variable Ratio

An average number of behaviors must occur for each reinforcement.

The number of behavior required varies around a mean.

Example: On the average, every 5th time the child raises his hand he is

called on by the teacher. The actual number of times he raises his hand

before being called on varies.

B. Interval Schedules

Reinforcement depends on the passage of time and the occurrence of a

behavior.

1. Fixed Interval

A fixed amount of time must pass, after which the next appropriate

behavior will be reinforced.

Example: Every 3 minutes during recess the teacher observes the child to

see whether or not he is talking to another child. The next time he

approaches another child and speaks to him, the teacher pats him on the

shoulder and praises him for being friendly.

2. Variable Interval

A variable amount of time must pass, after which the next correct

response will result in reinforcement. The amount of time required varies

around a mean.

Example: On the average, every 5 minutes the teacher observes whether or not the

child is writing another correct answer to the questions covering the geography

lesson. When he answers the next question correctly, a smiling face is drawn on

his paper. The actual number of minutes which elapse before the teacher checks

the child's behavior varies.28

3. Reinforcing Vocabulary through Scrabble Game

Once students have mastered the fundamental grammatical pattern of a

language, his next task is to master its vocabulary or at least that part of its

vocabulary that he needs. Nobody ever learns all the words in any language to

learn new words as long as we live.

The way to enlarge one's vocabulary will depend much on individual

characteristics and preference. However, several ways have been recommended as

follows.

a. Recognizing the Roots

At least half of the words in the English language are derived from Greek and

Latin roots. Knowing these roots helps us to grasp the meaning of words before

we look them up in a dictionary; it also helps us to see how words are often

arranged in families with similaT characteristics:29

b. Knowing the Affixes

Affix of affixation is a process of building word by attaching a short form

to the base word, whether at the beginning of the base or at the encl of it. The form

at the beginning of the base word is called prefix, and the form at the end of the

base is called suffix. "A term refen'ing to prefixes (an addition to a morpheme

which precedes the morpheme), suffixes (an addition to a morpheme which

follows the morpheme).30

There are many advantages ofrecognizing roots and affixes.'· 1

• Identifying word form in grammatical classes such as. verb, noun, verb,

adjective, and adverb by knowing the root word and its common affixes.

For example:

Beauty-full is an adjective

Beant-ify is a verb

Beautiful-y is an adverb

Beautifi.!1-ness is a noun

• Understanding an essential meanmg of new word if they know the

meaning of prefix or suffix.

For example:

Un-happy means not happy

Re-write means write again

Simpl-iry means to make simple

Hard-en means to make hard

• Identifying word, whether plural noun, comparative, past form, and the

third person of verb by recognizing inflectional ending.

For example:

Book-book-s

30 l.aurie Well1nan, Teacher of English as A second language (Ne\v York: Arco Publishing Company, inc, 1978) p.105 (As quoted by A.M Zainuri, Vocabulmy I, (Jakarta: UIN Syarif Hidayatullah, 2003), p. 29

Page 29: REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAMErepository.uinjkt.ac.id/dspace/bitstream/123456789/20675/1/IMAM PRIBADI... · REINFORCING VOCABULARY 'fl:-IROUGH SCRABBLE GAME (An

Soon-soon-s

Play-play-s

Walk-walk-ed

• Making numerous new words as they want by attaching prefix or suffix in

a root word.

For example:

Adaptation

Adaptive

Adaptab ii ity

Adaptable

Nonadapter

Unadaptable

Preadaptation

Unadaptive

Readaptation

1\1isadaptation

Re adaptiveness

Undaptively

So, stems, roots or main parts of a noun or verb from which other words are made

by additions known as morphemes (in linguistics) which can occur freely on their

own are called 'free' morpheme. Morphemes (or affixes) are divided into two

types; those likes 'dis-'and 'un-' which precedes words (thnt is free morphemes)

and which are called prefixes and those like '-ly' and '-ness' which follow free

morphemes and which are called suffixes.

In the word formation, English language has at least two \mys of forming

new words; by attaching a short form called an affix to either the beginning or the

end of the word.

Attaching a short form called an affix to either the beginning or the end of

a word makes many English words. When this is done, the word. itself is referred

to as a stem. The form at the beginning of the stem is called a prefix and the form

at the end is called a suffix.

For example:

Stem: happy

Prefix: unhappy

Suffix: happiness

The prefix can change the meaning of the word but not the part of speech.

Happy and unhappy are both adjectives. The suffix, however, changes the part of

speech but does not generally change the meaning. The adjective happy is

Verb-forming suffixes, adjective to verb

-en (blacken)

Adjective-forming suffixes, noun to adjective

-al or -ial (agricultural, commercial); -y (bossy); -ary (primary); -ed (forested); -ly

(brotherly); -ar (circular); :ful (careful); -less (endless); -ous (humorous); -ic

(organic); -ish (boyish).

Adjective-forming suffixes, noun to adjective

-ive (comparative); -able (desirable); -ant or-ent (pleasant, different)

limit the time for each player.

5. Technique of Collecting Data

The techniques of collecting data used in this research are:

a. Observation

TI1e observation was done by visiting SMPN 2 Ciputat on March to June,

2007 at first class students of SMPN 2 Ciputat to do research about students'

developing vocabulary in their lessons through teaching-learning process in

the classroom. 33

b. Playing Scrabble Game before Reinforci11g Vocabulary

They played the game by using their English vocabulary theyve obtained

to know the students' knowledge about vocabuiary by collecting the words

result of playing scrabble game. '"

c. Reinforcing Vocabulary

The students were given an instruction to recognize the roots and know

affixes of a word through playing scrabble game techniques by giving affixes

and roots materials to students such as an inflectional suffix, derivational

suffix, and root and stem and using them in playing scrnbble game to get

easier way to play it.35

6. Technique of Data Analysis

Data analysis is the last step in the procedure of this research. In analyzing

the data, the writer uses some steps, the' are: 37

a. Calculating and tabulating the number of the words from students· words

result had been obtained by them and based on the data before and after

. c . b l 38 re1morcmg voca u ary.

b. Finding out the significant of this research to reinforce vocabulary. Here, the

writer calculates it by using t-test.

After getting the data either before or after the writer analysis it by using

statistic calculation of the t-test formula with the degrees of significance 5%

and 1 %. the fonnula is as follows: 3"

MD to = -------------

SEMO MD : Mean of Difference is the average score that is gained from the differences

score between l variable and ll rnriable. And it uses fomrnla:

ID

MD=

N

ID : Total score between I variable (X variable) and II variable (Y variable).

And D is gained with che formula: D = X - Y

N : Number of cases

SOD : The standard deviation is gained from the differences between score of X

variable and Y variable. It uses formula:

7. Hypothesis

1. The experimental hypothesis (Ha) is : is there a significance differences in

reinforcing vocabulary (recognizing the roots and knowing the affixes) in

playing scrabble game for the seventh class of SMPN 2 Ciputat?

2. The Null Hypothesis (Ho) is : playing scrabble game without reinforcing

vocabulary (they recognize the roots and know the affixes) has no influence

for the seventh class of SMPN 2 Ciputat

B. Research Findings

1. Description of Data

As described in previous pages, the writer conducced field research by

taking students' number of words in playing scrabble game (before and after

reinforcing vocabulary).

2. Analysis of Data

To find out the result of number of words (before and after reinforcing

vocabulary) the writer makes the table of students' number of words. The \vriter

does not mention the student's name but their number of words as follow:

Note.

N : Number of students

X : The result before reinforcing vocabulary

Y : The result after reinforcing vocabulary

D : The difference of number of words

The first step, look for the difference number of words between variable X

and Y , we can get it by using formula: X- Y = D = -. To take for SDD (Deviation

Standard of Difference), seek D2 = ( X- Y) = ... (see them in the table).

After that, seek Standard Deviation of Difference between two variables (

X and Y ) using formula as follows:

l:D SDo=

After finding the result of SDD, seek SEMD (Standard Error of the Mean of

Difference) using formula:

Finaily, seek "to" by using formula:

MD to =

1) Determining t-table in level significance 5% and 1 % with elf:

df = ( N - 1 ) = 24 ·- 1 = 23

with df= 23, it is gained t-table score:

In significance level 5% = 2.07

In significance level 1 % = 2.81

2) The comparison between y-score and !-table is:

!-score= 2.07 < 4.306 > 2.81

3. Test of Hypothesis

As mentioned in chapter one that this field research was conducted in

order to know whether reinforcing vocabulary is more effective than before it in

playing scrabble.

To answer those questions above, the writer hypothesized that:

Ha : There is a significant difference of students' number of words they

obtained between before and after reinforcing vocabulary in playing scrabble

game.

Ho : There is not a significant difference of students· number of words they

obtained between before and after reinforcing vocabulary in playing scrabble

game.

So, the writer should prove the hypothesis by using the data of students'

number of words, which are calculated by t-test formula, with assumption as

follow:

Ifto > tt : there is significant difference and the alternative hypothesis (Ha)

is accepted

If to< tt : there is not significant difference and the alternative hypothesis

(Ha) is rejected, the null hypothesis is accepted.

Fro111 the result of statistics calculation, it is required that the value of to is

4.306 and the degree f freedom ( df) is 23 which is obtained from N - I = 24 - I =

23 by using the degree of significance of 5% and I%, it wn be seen in the table of

significance that on the df = 23, the value of the degree of significance are 2.07

and 2.81. Bringing into comparison the "to" which each of the degree of

significance, the result is 2.07 <4.306> 2.81. Because to score which is obtained

from the result calculating is higher than tt score in the table of significance, it

means that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. In other words, reinforcing

vocabulary in playing scrabble game is more effective for students of SMPN 2

Ciputat than before it.

CHAPTERlV

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusions

Based on the data analysis in the previous chapter, the writer can take a

conclusion that reinforcing vocabulary through playing scrabble game is more

effective than without reinforcing vocabulary. According to the writer, it could

happen because of understanding of recognizing the roots, knowing the affixes. It

can be seen from the students' number of words they obtained from reinforcing

vocabulary that higher than without reinforcing vocabulary in playing scrabble

game.

B. Suggestions -

Dealing with the conclusion, the writer would like to give some

suggestions to improve English proficiency as follows:

It is easy to build students' vocabulary by reinforcing rncabulary

through an enjoyable game.

Using games in language teaching help students to see learning

English as enjoyable moment

Reinforcing vocabulary by recognizing the roots and the affixes

can help students reinforce vocabulary.

RECOGNIZING ROOTS AND AFFIXES

There are many advantages of recognizing roots m·d amx~:;.

• Identifying word form in grammatical classes sucl1 as, verb, 'lOun, verb,

adjective, and adverb by knowing the root v.ord a11J its common aflixes.

For example:

Beauty-full is an adjective

Beaut-ity is a verb

Beautiful-y is an adverb

Beautiful-ness is a noun

• Understanding an essential meaning of11ew word if they know the llleaning ur prefix or suffix.

For example:

Un-happy means not happy

Re-write means write again

Simpl-ify means to make simpl:

Hard-en means to make hard

• Identifying word, whether plural noun, cumparative, past form. and the 1i1ird

person of verb by recognizing inflec!irnal ending.

For example:

Book-book-s ·

10. A player may exchange tiles (from one to ~..;ven) as al·ing as !her,; are al las!

seven tiles still in the bag. Decide which frcs a player wants to ex10hange first

then remove them from your rack and plact th·' faceJc wn on the table. Only

then may you draw your new tiles, rlace them un your rack, and repiace the

exchanged tiles back in the pool. In writ1: ·'s clu''· a player can exchang·~ the

tiles if a player has same word in a letter; for e:,ampl•;, a player ha> three n r S

letter8. And alSt• a player can exchange rn.e lo ;even lilt;s, in his one turn an"

s/he won't get his turn to get a point

11. The rules state that a player can challenge <.mtil the 'lext turn. i'11e Nabon

Scrabble Association has developed a m or~ precise definition rbr when a

player may challenge. First, using sand timers or no timers. Once n player has '

announced his or her score, the opponent 11ia; "Hold" or 'challeng<~. After has

drawn at least one tile from rhe pool. The up1nnent ma)' not challenge or h·Jld

anymore. Second, using tournament clock. Arter player .ms started his or her

opponent's timer, the opponent may "hole'" or ctrnllcugc. At abo.Jvc. once Ilic

player has drawn at least one tile from the pool, ,he ,;pponen rnav nut

challenge or hold anymore. Using clock. One<: ::n oppr·nent has called ",1old"

at the paper time, she/he wants to think 'n:;is\ on drn\\'ing tiks alkr one

minute, as long ass/he keeps the replacement Jiles sq)a ·ates from the old :ilcs.

This is called the Courtesy Rule if the:·e is a succ:cssfol challengi11g. rhe

opponent may see the replacernent tiles be 'll'e. and th" player returns t:1e111 to

the pool.

12. The game is over when a play<:r uses all ol his or her tile;; and th~re are no

more tiles to draw. That payer then earns the points s@ remaining in all the

other players' racks, while the others subtract from thei1· point total the sum ol'

the points still on the racks. In NSA club a tournament play, they 1•sc a slighl ly

different rule. The player who ends the gai11c earns double the sum of ti1c

letters on the other player's rack,, and the other player's rack subiract nothing '

from their total. For example, player 111, "ith 323 poims. ewls the. game wliil.c·

player #2 with 320, still has EM on his rec~<. Player 111 should receive 2 X

(!+3+3+3) = 14 points extra. The final Iota! player 111 = 337 ano player h? ·~
