In this
chapter, the researcher will explain the background of study, research focus,
research objective of the study, significance of the study, scope and
limitation and definition of key terms.
A.
Background of Study
Language is a means of communication used by
humans. through language, humans can interact easily because what they want to
convey is channeled through the symbols of the language. learning a language
such as a foreign language has its own virtues, we can build communication and
relationships with people from other continents through the language they use.
As has been said by Allah SWT.
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ فَيُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
"We did not send a messenger, but in the language of
his people, so that he might explain them clearly. So Allah misleads whom He
wills, and guides whom He wills. And He is God Almighty, Most Wise." [QS.
Abraham: 4).[1]
As a foreign language English is the language that is needed today around the world, no exception in our country, Indonesia. Almost
all educational institutions in the world provide English lessons. Starting
from the most basic level to a higher level. This is because English has become
a world language. Therefore, the ability to speak English really needs to be
learned to communicate, both orally and in writing. Speaking, reading, writing,
and listening are the fourth fundamental skills in English. These four
abilities are divided into two categories. Listening and reading are examples
of receptive skills that a language user needs in order to receive spoken and
written language. While speaking and writing are seen as productive skills.[2]
As like D. Renukadevi, assistant professor from Erode Sengunthar
Engineering Collage stated that listening raises language awareness because it
is a receptive skill that develops first in a human being.[3] There
are two reasons why listening is such a crucial part of language learning. The
first is to offer input for the language acquisition process, and the second is
the most commonly employed in everyday life. According to Miller, forty percent
of our everyday communication is spent listening, thirty-five percent is spent
speaking, roughly sixteen percent is spent reading, and only nine percent is
spent writing.[4]
Movies and songs are two examples of learning aids that can be
utilized to improve listening skills. The researcher will use songs as an
example of learning aids in improving listening in this study. because one of
the most pleasurable methods to improve listening abilities is through music.
It can also keep students from getting bored. Because most learners enjoy
singing songs and listening to music, song will be the easiest technique to
utilize to assist them in strengthening their listening skills. Also, thanks to
technological advancements, we can now listen to music everywhere and at any time.
English song often used to improve student’s English
skill, such as listening comprehension. But students
would not guessing the meaning from a sentence without understanding the word
itself.. So that, Vocabulary also one of the skill to master by English
learner. By mastering vocabulary, students can successfully learning English.
According to Aebersold and Field, it is important to know about
vocabulary, because the students use those vocabularies to get the information
from a text. So, the contribution of vocabulary mastery is proven in learning
language, especially in reading and listening. Because by mastering those words
will help students identifying words and giving meaning to it.[5]
Coady and Hucking also supported this statement by saying it is a crucial thing
to acquiring new words in learning language, so that the concept they want to
convey is compatibility with their native languages.[6]
Therefore, the students with a large vocabulary will have an easier time
catching words while listening of the words that the speaker says in their
native language.
So that’s why the researcher interested to
research about “The Correlation
Between Students’ Interest In Listening English Song And Their Vocabulary
Mastery On The 4th Semester Of TBI IAIN MADURA 2022”.
B.
Research focus
According to Creswell research problem is an educational issue,
concern, or controversy that the researcher investigates and guide the need for
conducting a study.[7]
Based on the research problem which has explained. The researcher argues that
the problem of study as follows:
1.
Is
there any correlation between Students’ interest in listening English song and
their Vocabulary mastery?
2.
How statistically
significant the correlation between Students’ interest in listening English
song and their Vocabulary mastery?
C.
Research objective
Agung Widhi and Zarah state that research objective is to find an
answer to the problem or question that has been formulated through the daya
analysis process. The research objective essentially describes the essence of
research design that is realied to study certain characteristics of the
phenomenon that are significantly related to the issue conveyed in the form of
a statement sentence. The formulation of the problem must be followed when
conducting destination.[8]
From the research problem above, the aims of the study are:
1.
To find
out whether there is a correlation between Students’ interest in listening
English song and their Vocabulary mastery.
2.
To measure
how statistically significant the correlation between Students’ interest in
listening English song and their Vocabulary mastery.
D.
Research Method
The method researcher will used in
this study is quantitative method with correlational design. Donald Ary stated
in his book that Quantitative research collects numeric data through objective
measurement in order to answer questions or test hypotheses. It usually takes a
well-controlled environment.[9] According to
Creswell, Correlational designs are procedures in quantitative research in
which investigators use the statistical procedure of correlational analysis to
determine the degree of association (or relationship) between two or more
variables. This number reflects if the two variables are associated or whether
one may predict the other. Instead of studying two or more groups as in an
experiment, you study a single group of people.[10]
In this research there are two kind of variables, independent
variable as X and dependent variable as Y. The independent variable (X) is
Students Interest in Listening English Song and the dependent variable (Y) is
Students Vocabulary Mastery. To collect the data of study, researcher will use
are questionnaire to knowing the number of interest students listening to
English song and test for testing their vocabulary mastery.
