A.    Background

Learning foreign language will be difficult if we do not have any vocabularies. In order to master English, the elements of the language; such as grammatical structure, vocabulary and pronunciation must be taught to the students as the prerequisite knowledge toward the English language use and skills because language is characterized by the elements (Corder, 1975). Vocabulary has essential influence on the language skills. It connects the four language skills; listening, speaking, reading, and writing. All of the skills will not take place without vocabulary. To read, the students need vocabulary to comprehend the text, but it will be difficult if they lack of vocabulary. When students want to master a language, they must learn vocabulary. Sometimes students are doubtful to

express their ideas because they have limited vocabulary. Also without having enough vocabulary, students will not be able to convey and communicate in English. The fact is without grammar, very little can be conveyed, without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed (Wilkins, 1978)

Vocabulary is the first thing that every student learns in their formal and informal education. It assumed that if the students learn English in earlier age, of course they have much vocabulary by now. But the fact is they still have problem in learning English vocabulary. Students have difficulties to memorize the vocabulary. They just memorize the word if in the classroom, but after that they sometimes forgot what they have learned before. It happened since most of the teachers did not give them an impressive lesson and no exposure to the language outside the classroom. So, they forget their vocabulary easily and it makes teaching and learning vocabulary needs developing. One way in learning vocabulary is by using mnemonic technique. It helps the students learn basic facts and new vocabulary, which they need to acquire when teaching a new subject (McPherson, 2000)??????

Using Personal Letter to Enhance Students’ Competence in Writing (Quasi Experimental)

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A.    Background

It has been generally believed that writing in English means the ability to express idea, feeling, opinion, imagination, and knowledge into written form more freely. Although it seems to be more freely, in fact, writing process is still considered as one language skill that is most difficult to perform. Many complicated requirements should be included to produce good writing result. A writer must master such an enough vocabulary even though synonym or antonym of the word to express good and understandable thought or idea. Furthermore, as we know that some words or vocabularies have different meaning when they used in different occasion.

Writing can also be stated as how to arrange the symbol, that is letter or combination of letters that related to the sound when people speak, according to certain convention into words form, and word has to be arranged into sentence form. It is logical due to that writing is one of the communication tools. Most

communication is done orally or through spoken way. Although speaking and writing are the same, in terms of communication tools, but they are sharply different. Spoken or oral communication is considered to be easier because the speakers can choose and use words or sentences to express their thought freely. They may be allowed to use sentences informally. In another side, writing communication requires communicant (or writer) to be more bounded. They have to follow the suitable agreed procedures in expressing ideas in order that are understood by the receiver.

INTRODUCTION

            This chapter deals with background, problem statement, objective of the research, significance of the research, and the scope of the research. Each of those points will be discussed in turn in the following section.

A.  Background

English, as a compulsory subject in Indonesia,covers four skills namely listening, writing, speaking, and reading. To organize their teaching,  English teachers usually put a focus on one or two language skills in each of the EFL class. But they also integrate the skill with grammar or structure and vocabulary.
