CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
English is an important language. It becomes the international communication language. In Indonesia, English is the first foreign language. Because English is an important position, it is taught from the fourth grade of elementary school in some schools as an alternative subject and from the first grade of junior high school (SMP) up to third grade of senior high school (SMA) as one of the compulsory subjects. The students of SMP and SMA are hoped to have enough competence in English because it becomes a subject tested in UAN (Ujian Akhir Nasional). The result of UAN has been satisfactory. This is supported by the fact that
UAN English score of SMP and SMA are successful. According to Bambang as quoted from http://www.depdiknas.go.id (2006) explains that average score of UAN in English is 7.54. It is higher than UAN standard which is 4.5. It means that the score is satisfactory, but improvement is still needed to achieve the best result. In order to reach the goal above, many experts of education try to reveal the problems of English learning. To overcome the problems, they try to carry out different attempts to improve English teaching learning processes. The curriculum, approach, method, and technique of English teaching are always revised and improved in order to meet the goals of the teaching learning process.
Sofiah (1998: 5) states that the success of the English teaching learning processes at schools depends on the teachers for they are key figures in the classroom. It is considered that if the teachers do not have good competence in the teaching learning process, the students will not achieve the objectives. In addition, Sofiah states that the source of the problems is not the teacher, but also the institution related to education. It is assumed that this institution is also responsible to the results of teaching learning processes since its output is related to the results of teaching learning processes.
Citrawati (2002: 8) states that there is another factor that may influence the students' achievement: students' factor. The students as subjects in the learning process have different characteristics. Each student differs in intelligence, sex, socioeconomic background, motivation, attitude, and learning strategies.
Based on this view, the writer is interested in knowing what factors that actually influence in learning English. This time, the focus of the study is on students’ creativity. Creativity can be defined as thinking ability in managing a problem referring to his experiences or///////////????????????????????????DAPATKAN CONTOH PROPOSAL ATAU SKRIPSINYA DI SINI ATAU KLIK DI SINI
