Some Pertinent Ideas1. Definition of VocabularyVocabulary is the one of English components, which has to be mastered andacquired by students in learning a new language”. It can be argue that vocabulary is a7Wahyuni, Jayanti, Upaya Meningkatkan Penguasaan Vocabulary Bahasa InggrisAnak Melalui Metode Bermain Tongue Twister (Surakarta: Facultas Keguruan dan IlmuPendidikan Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, 2013).

tool of communication which needs to be taught in context and the people shouldalways be given many opportunities to use the language. Vocabulary itself consists ofseveral parts of speech, they are noun, verb, adjective, and adverb, from those kindsof vocabulary, the first that students need to know is noun.Virginia states that vocabulary is one of the most important elements in alanguage8. Many of the vocabulary in English text books have to be learned. Withoutit, no one can speak or understand the language. It means that people cannot write aword or make a sentence well, when they do not master it. It line with Krida Laksanastates that vocabulary is a component of language that maintains all of informationabout meaning and using word in language9. It means that vocabulary is the importantpart of language, without vocabulary the language cannot be used to maintain allinformation in language.Vocabulary is very important in studying English. If people have lessvocabulary, they not only cannot understand other‟s saying, but also cannot makesentence to transfer their message to the other people. Thus, they will understandEnglish expression if they have enough vocabularies.William Morris stated that, vocabulary is defined as a list of words and oftenphrases, usually arranged alphabetically and defined or translate; a lexicon orMiftahul Jannah, Using Games in Improving Sudents’ Vocabulary at the SeventhGrade of Yayasan Miftahul Jannah (YMJ)Ciputat, (Jakarta:Department of English EducationSyarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, 2011), p. 69Neaty Muttahidah, Improving Students’ Vocabulary through Vocabulary Card.(Jakarta: Department of English Education Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University,2011), p. 88

glossary10. Vocabulary skills included: pronunciation, spelling, grammar, andmeaning11. So, vocabulary is a list of words usually arranged alphabetically and thepeople use according to pronunciation, spelling, grammar, and meaning.Vocabulary is needed to improve the four language skill, namely listening,speaking, reading, and writing. Without grammar, very little can be conveyed,without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed. When we just learn about grammarwithout learning vocabulary, we cannot express anything. Vocabulary is a componentof language that contains all of information about meaning and using word in alanguage12.From some definition, it can be argued that vocabulary not only contains listof words but also contains all of information about using word, and it also containsmeaning of word in a language. So, it becomes a basic for people to communicate,because without vocabulary an idea cannot be given in communication.2. Types of VocabularyThere are severaltypes of vocabulary. Haycraft (in Hatch and Brown)classifies into two kinds. They are:Miftahul Jannah, Using Games in Improving Sudents’ Vocabulary at the SeventhGrade of Yayasan Miftahul Jannah (YMJ)Ciputat, (Jakarta:Department of English EducationSyarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, 2011), p. 611Lynne Cameron, Teaching Language to Young Learners, (UK: CambridgeUniversity Press, 2001).12FebrianaEkaSetyaningsih, The Use of Word Clap Game to Improve Students’Vocabulary Mastery.

a. Receptive vocabulary is words that learners recognize and understand when thewords are used in the context, but which they cannot produce. The learners foundthe word in reading text but they do not use it in their speaking or writing.b. Productive vocabulary is the words that the students recognizes and understand,can pronounce correctly and use in speaking and writing. In involves what isneeded for receptive vocabulary plus the ability to speak or write at theappropriate time. Therefore, productive vocabulary can be addressed as an activeprocess. The learners produce the words to express their thoughts to others13.From explanation above, it can be concluded that there is vocabulary whoreaders know it but it do not use, and sometimes reader not only know it but also useit, and it is usually use in writing and speaking.Vocabulary divides into two categories, namely: active vocabulary andpassive vocabulary. Active vocabulary is the words someone can use, and passivevocabulary is the words someone can understand, but does not use.From some definition above, it can be concluded that receptive vocabularyhas same meaning with passive vocabulary who people only know it without use itwhen communicate or write something. Productive vocabulary has meaning withactive vocabulary who people know and it is usually use to communicate or writesomething.13Insan Bara Rosada, Improving Vocabulary by Using Anagram Game at The FirstGrade Students of MTSN Karanganyar in Academic Year 2015/2016, (Surakarta: EnglishEducation Department Islamic Education and Teacher Training Faculty State IslamicInstitute of Surakarta, 2016), p. 18

3. Part of Speech (Word Classes)In learning English vocabulary,words is classified into eight categories:nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronoun, determiner, preposition, and conjunction.The nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs are known as content words, whereas thepronoun, determiner, preposition, and conjunction are known as function words.a. Content WordsContent words are also known as lexical words. They are called content wordsbecause they carry their own meaning. In other words, they have their ownindependent meaning, and can occur in isolation. In addition, they have an open classsystem because they can accept new words with the expansion of the vocabulary ofthe language. They include noun, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. NounsA noun is the name of any word that can stand as the subject or object of anysentence. In addition, Jackson in Sukirman‟s14 book states th

twister game as a learning method to solve problems at SMAN 4 Palopo. Tongue twister is fun words games, used to challenge our vocabulary. Tongue twister is easier to be remember and can be an effective method in teaching vocabulary for students. Tongue twister is a
