THE CORRELATION BETWEEN VOCABULARY MASTERY AND READING COMPREHENSION OF S1 ENGLISH STUDENTS OF STBA LIA YOGYAKARTA IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2010/2011

Abstract

Word knowledge has particular importance in literate societies. It contributes significantly to achievement in the subjects of the school curriculum, as well as in formal and informal speaking and writing. Most people feel that there is a common sense relationship between vocabulary and the ideas expressed in words. Further, most theorists and researchers in education have assumed that vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension are closely related, and numerous studies have shown the strong correlation between those subjects (Baker, 1995; Nagy, 1988; Nelson-Herber, 1986).

Vocabulary knowledge and its role in reading comprehension has been one of the main areas of focus in second language teaching. Besides, vocabulary, which consists of the knowledge of meaning as the main component of a language, should be taught together with reading, structure and conversation. So, ideally vocabulary should be part of reading course because one needs the mastery of vocabulary to comprehend the reading passage.

It is beneficial for English learners to master vocabulary and reading comprehension. With their mastery of vocabulary and reading comprehension, learners will be able to catch the message of the text they read. They also can understand scientific books written in English to get information and advancement because reading comprehension is a bridge to understanding scientific books written in English either obtain information and advancement or to enjoy them or just for relaxation.

Therefore, the writer is very interested to carry out the study above into a piece of research paper which then attempts to investigate the correlation between vocabulary mastery, in particular, it attempts to investigate the percentage of vocabulary coverage (known words) readers need to ensure reading comprehension of reading passages of S1 English students of STBA LIA Yogyakarta in academic year 2010/2010.

Ayolah..

ayolah,
apa mata kalian sudah buta?
apa hati kalian sudah mati?
apa otak kalian sudah expired untuk dipakai berfikir?
apa tangan kalian sudah cacat sehingga tidak bisa mengepalkan tangan?
apa kaki kalian sudah tidak lagi  kuat dipakai berlari atw setidaknya berdiri?
apa mulut kalian sudah tidak bisa lagi berteriak?
sudah berapa lama kita dididik?
apa kalian masih juga belum mengerti untuk apa kita dididik?
disana mereka tidur di atas tempat tidur yang empuk dan selimut yang hangat dengan uang rakyat
sedangkan disini anak kecil dipaksa berjuang melawan dinginnya malam di pinggiran jalan, di dekat lampu merah hanya untuk memohon belas kasihan
disana mereka melahap sarapan ala restoran sedangkan disini si ibu menggeledah tong sampah untuk sekedar mengisi perut
aku muak melihat mereka, yang menjadikan seragam sebagai kesombongannya
kedudukan sebagai tahtanya,
mereka kira mereka siapa? kita dilahirkan bukan untuk di atur, ayolah
apa kalian memiliki fikiran yang sama sepertiku
kita bukan dilahirkan untuk mengikuti kata" mereka,
kita dilahirkan untuk menggantikan mereka yg sudah expired
menendang mereka yg sudah tidak lagi berguna bahkan hanya menjadi racun
kita tidak dilahirkan untuk diam tidak juga bersenang"
bangkitlah jika kalian merasa berguna,
jangan hanya bisa menggonggong seperti anjing" tua itu
bukannya kita diciptakan bukan hanya untuk berbicara..
jangan menjilat seperti babi yg memakan kotorannya sendiri
kita tidak dididik untuk memihak golongan kiri atau kanan
tapi kita dididik untuk menjadi diri kita sendiri, untuk memihak mereka yg menjadi budak2 penguasa
ayolah kawan, buang jauh kemalasan kalian, mw jadi apa kalian?
tidak ada kata terlambat, tidak ada kegagalan selagi masih ada usaha..
aku bersama kalian, ibu, kawan, dan kalian korban para penguasa..
