CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A.  Background

Language is a tool of communication. It is used to express ideas, feeling, suggestion, creation, or emotion that will be much easier to express it in our mother tongue. Trouble comes when we are asked to express ourselves in a foreign language. English as an international language has four mayor skills that widely used and spoken all over the world. They are listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In teaching English, the students are encouraged to use English for communication and to read the books and references written in English.

Reading is one of the main skills in English that plays important role. Reading can be defined as an active cognitive  process of  interacting with the print and monitoring comprehension to establish meaning and through reading we can get much knowledge, study new words, comprehend ideas, study

the word are used, how to implement the grammatical rules, and gain the information.

Most of students have many problems in reading book or passage. One of them is to find main idea of the text they read. They can read the words well but they cannot get the main idea. That is why sometimes they feel sleepy in class because they get no any comprehension about the text they read. At the end, they cannot answer the questions based on the text perfectly. This problem occurs because the teacher only asks the students to read the text and answer all the questions without giving any explanation that help the students in comprehending the text well.

It can be seen from Hafsah (2005:35) who stated that the students find some difficulties to comprehend such as they don`t understand the content of the material, what the text about, and they hard to find main idea of every paragraph. And also from the researcher`s experience after taught many students, found that those condition becomes a reason to run the teaching and learning process better in classroom.

Based on the explanation above, the teacher should give more attentions to this problem to increase the student ability in reading comprehension. One of way is using one strategy namely Question Answer Relationship (QAR).

In this strategy, the students are given short passage to be read from the textbook. As finish reading it, they are asked question and point out the differences each question and the kind of answer it requires. The teacher must use questioning in measuring the

The Improvement of english pronunciation through speech alt at the student of sma 1(pre experimental)

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A.    Background

In English language teaching, there are four language elements namely: structure, vocabulary, pronunciation and spelling. Those elements are though in order to develop the students’ skill in the language learning. One second of them should be noticed is pronunciation is considered difficult element method that can be applied in learning pronunciation.

The researcher has observed that in junior high school students are lack of pronunciation while Nurhayati (2008:1), states that the pronunciation means knowledge of knowing to produce word which is very essential in oral communication. When speakers mispronounce some words or phrases, people can be misunderstanding. To reduce it, the teacher must equip the learner with English certain degree accuracy and

fluency in understanding, responding and in expressing him self in the language in speech in other the learners communicatively in using the language.

In learning pronunciation pragmatic is consists of several aspects. Those are context, deictic, presupposition, implicature, and speech acts. Speech act is a central point of pragmatic. In communication, we use utterances in acting that is known as speech acts. Speech acts themselves can be divided into three elements:  locutionary, elocutionary and prelocutionary.

Searle in its book of Speech Acts: An Essay in The Philosophy of Language (1969,23-4 ) said that pragmatically at least there are three types of act that may be realized by a speaker upon his/her speech, that is the act to express something (locutionary act), the act to do something (elocutionary act), the act to affect the converse speak (prelocutionary act). Respectively, the third types are called as the act of saying something, the act of doing something, and the act of affecting someone.

Within the language context, student is expected to tell or to construct thoughts or information that he/she get.  Furthermore, an intrapersonal function, that is a language function to interact with fellow being by revealing the applied speech acts, attitudes and feelings, etc.  has he/she done. The last function is textual, it is to arrange how the created text and language being ordered so that a cohesion and coherence are realized, then, those would be easy to be understood by the one who listening and reading. 

Based on the description above, so the study takes a title “The Improvement of English Pronunciation Through Speech Act at the Student of SMA 1
