1.1 Background of the Study
As an international language, English has an important role in the world. It can be used to communicate with people of other countries and it is also used as an instrument in utilizing modern sciences and technology. People who want to be acquainted with technological and scientific advances have to master this language well. In Indonesia, English is the first foreign language. Because of its important position, English has been taught as one of the compulsory subjects in all high schools, from the first grade of the junior high school up to third grade if the senior high school.
The role of English is so important that achievement of formal education is expected to be satisfactory. However the result of English Language Teaching (ELT for short) at Secondary School or
Sekolah Lanjutan Tingkat Pertama (SLTP for short) is assumed to fail and the final examination marks of SLTP graduates show that the students are not successful in mastering English. We have to do something with it. Although English has been taught for a long time, the result of the teaching English is still considered unsatisfactory (Ramelan 1992:3). The poor English mastery of our students can be found among the high school graduates when they continue their study to university??????????????
