Learning to Construct Sentences in the English Language through Vocabulary and Present Continuous Tense

1.0 Nama Sekolah Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampung Medan, 42500 Telok Panglima Garang, Kuala Langat, Selangor Earul Ehsan. 2.0 Penyelidik Anuradha Chelliah 3.0 Tajuk Kajian Learning to Construct Sentences in the English Language through Vocabulary and Present Continuous Tense 4.0 Refleksi Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Lalu Teaching English vocabulary is an important area worthy of effort and investigation. Vocabulary is needed for expressing meaning and in using the receptive (listening and reading) and the productive (speaking and writing) skills. If language structures make up the skeleton of language, then it is vocabulary that provides the vital organs and the flesh. Vocabulary is not a syllabus, it is a list of words that teachers prepare for their learners to memorize and learn by heart. Memorizing may be good and useful as a temporary technique for tests, but not for learning a foreign language. Language students need to learn vocabulary of the target language in another way. If we are really to teach students what words mean and how they are used, we need to show them being used together in context. Words do not just exist on their own; they live together and they depend upon each other. Therefore, teaching vocabulary correctly is a very important element in language learning. Correct vocabulary instruction involves vocabulary 2

selection, word knowledge and techniques. In the past, teachers used to select and present vocabulary from concrete to abstract. Words like door, window, desk and other words, which are concrete, used to be taught at beginning levels. However, words like beautiful, smart and others, which are abstract words, used to be taught at advanced levels because they are not physically represented in the learning and teaching environment and are very difficult to explain. The pupils in SK Kampung Medan come from 100% Malay Language background. They do not communicate in English or use the English Language in their daily conversation. The only place that they use English Language is in the classroom when the teacher asks them questions. Hence the pupils have low level of vocabulary. As their vocabulary is low, the pupils are unable to write using the correct words in the language. Pupils need to learn and retain the vocabulary so that it helps them in their lessons. The only way to ensure that a pupil retains the vocabulary is the student should be exposed to it in his reading and/or hear it used in conversation over and over and over. Tests and examinations do not ensure retention. Pupils just memorise the words and forget it after the examination. They just slightly extend the amount of time it will take before the word is forgotten. While I don't believe a completely independent, out-of-context vocabulary study does much to improve a pupils vocabulary, I do believe that addressing the vocabulary in a pupils reading is helpful. So if a pupil is reading a science text, it is helpful if the meanings of the terms are addressed. If a pupil is reading a novel, it's helpful if the meanings of unfamiliar words are addressed. I think this enhances his opportunity to learn the vocabulary that he reads. Through my lessons, I realised that the pupils in Year 5 Jaya were unable to construct sentences. They know how to construct the sentences, but they are not sure of the suitable word that needs to be used in sentences. They lack the vocabulary and are unable to use suitable words in their sentence construction. Thus, I realised that the pupils need to remember and have a number of words with them to construct sentences effectively. 3

5.0 Fokus Kajian This research focuses on improving the pupils vocabulary and their present continuous tense. Pupils need to have a strong vocabulary so that they can use words in their writing and communication. It also helps them to develop and enhance their present continuous tense. Without good vocabulary pupils tend to use words that are not suitable in the sentences. Pupils have their own vocabulary book to list new words and unfamiliar words over a period of one month. After a month, pupils are required to construct sentences using the words that they have in their vocabulary book. Pupils should be able to use 70% of the words in their vocabulary book correctly in sentences. 6.0 Objektif Kajian 6.1 Pupils need to have a strong vocabulary. 6.2 Pupils need to be taught and trained to retain new vocabulary. 6.3 Pupils must be able to use correct words to construct sentences correctly. 7.0 Kumpulan Sasaran 27 pupils of 5 jaya 8.0 Tindakan Yang Dicadangkan 8.1 Teacher asks pupils to have a vocabulary book with them. Pupils use the book to list all new words. These words can be from their readings in the classroom. 8.2 The meanings of the new words are written in their vocabulary book. 8.3 New words are recalled from time to time in the classroom before the lessons. 8.4 A sentence is given for each word as an example to ensure pupils are able to use the word correctly in their sentences. 4

8.5 Pupils read and are questioned on these words from time to time so that they are able to recall these words. 8.6 Teacher conducts word games like Bingo or crossword puzzles for pupils to remember the new words. 8.7 Teacher carries out dictations and spellings in the classroom to enhance the vocabulary. 9.0 Bahan yang dicadangkan a.

12.0 Penutup This research is important for pupils to improve their vocabulary. It will also help the pupils to use correct words in their sentences. Pupils will also be able to recall the words in the future if they come across the same word in their readings. The pupils will be quick to know the meaning.
