Language promotes some skills.

People must learn to achieve integrated language

skills. If someone wants to learn English well, they should know four skills. They are receptive
skills, listening (understanding the spoken language) and reading (understanding the written
language), and productive skills (speaking and writing) (Haycraft, 1978: 8). Mastery of
vocabulary is the most basic thing that must be controlled by students in learning English. Is
the language foreign to Indonesia. Vocabulary plays an important role in oral communication.
The more vocabulary possessed the more easily will they develop their four language skills.
According to River (1983:125) has also argued that the acquisition of an adequate vocabulary
is essential for success second language use because, without an extensive vocabulary, we will
be unable to use the structure and functions we may have learned for comprehensible
communication.
In learning English, vocabulary is the most important aspects which have to be mastered
by students, because it use in speaking, listening, writing and reading. A learner of a foreign
language will speak fluently and clearly, if he or she understanding what he read or hear and
they will write easily, if he or she has enough vocabulary. Therefore we have a lot to add to
our vocabulary so that we also gain insight. There are various ways to learn vocabulary, such
as watch movies, listen to music, read news, read novels and more. On the other word the
vocabulary of written language is much more extensive and diverse than the vocabulary of oral
language (Hayes, Wolfer & Wolfe, 1996).
Philips (2008) writing is much more than the simple mechanics of getting the words
down; it also involves being creative, spelling, grammar, punctuation, choice of appropriate
word, sentence linking, and text construction and for older children, having idea about content
and the ability to be self-critical and to edit their own work. Thus, with writing we can revealed
and develop not only the structure of the sentence and vocabulary in use, but also the ideas,
thinking, and our feeling about a meaning. On the other word writing is considered the most
difficult to learn than others, because in writing involves many components that must be
understood. When students write something they should pay attention to grammar, word or
phrase that is in use. Writing skills are complex and sometimes difficult to teach, requiring
mastery not only of grammatical and rhetorical devices but also of conceptual and judgemental
elements (Heaton, 1988:135).
Based on Harmer (2004:31) writing (as one of the four skills of listening, speaking,
reading, and writing) has always formed part of the syllabus in the teaching of English. Writing
is one of the skills in the English language that is learnt by students in the school, while the
vocabulary is supporting components. Thus, the writer tried to connect both of them, especially
in terms of writing a descriptive text. The writer also wanted to determine the level of students'
ability to learn the vocabulary and writing. Then the writer searched the relationship between
the both.

Take a look into an active classroom where students use a variety of resources for
learning. Some students are fi nishing pattern block constructions. After marking the line of
symmetry with yarn, they record the accomplishment with a digital camera. A group of students
gathers around a digital microscope investigating a pine cone, predicting what they will see in
the magnified images. Another group plans a slide show they will make to welcome next year’s
class. They are making a list of people in the school they need to photograph and introduce.
Students are using a mix of new and traditional tools in meaningful ways to explore,create, and
develop skills.

The power of using digital cameras and images with young students lies in their ability
to engage students. The images stimulate curiosity and provide rich opportunities for language
and literacy. They provide feedback tools, allowing students to see and refl ect on activities as
they happen and offering new ways to record and document learning. Further, working with
digital images is motivating, empowering, and fun.
