CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols which permits all
people in a given culture or to interact (Sapir, 1921:8). To communicate with
other people, one must use language. Language is the part of culture and
human behavior, because by using language people will introduce their
culture to other people and to communicate to one another in daily
life.According to the statement above, the writer concludes that language is
the system of arbitrary vocal symbol and articulated sound used by a group
of human as a means of communication for the affairs of the society.
English is an international language that is learnt in all schoolswhole
over the world, because English has an important role in the field of
education.Richard (1987:34) stated that everything related to knowledge and
technology is told and written in English language as a foreign language to
help them to get knowledge mastery of sophisticated technology.
Realizing the importance of English, Indonesian government has put
it into the school curriculum in order to be taught as the first foreign
language in Indonesian. For many years, English has been taught from
elementary school to university. The main objective of learning English in
Indonesian is to build the communicative competences including linguistics
competence and social culture. ( Depertemen Pendidikan, 2003: 36).
In learning English, Indonesian students still face many difficulties
or problems dealing with the basic skill of English such as listening,
speaking, reading, and writing. In additional, those problems are also related

to some other English sub skills such as grammar, vocabulary and

pronunciation. It is clear that most of Indonesian students still fail in
mastering English at school because of those problems, especially dealswith
grammar.
Talking about grammar, English has eight parts of speech or word
class which has important position in grammar. They are noun, verb,
adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction. ( Soesilo in Juma,2010:2) in this
study, the writer will focus on preposition.
Frank, (1950:735) states that preposition is the term denoting one of
the parts of speech that can be categorized as grammar. The proposition has
an important position in grammar. It is the part of speech that denotes the
relation of an object to an action or thing. According to Sargeant (2007:102103) there are three kinds of preposition. They are preposition of place,
preposition of time, and preposition of direction. Preposition of place shows
where something happens(under, underneath, over, inside, beside, in, in
front of, on the top of, in the middle of, etc), preposition of time shows when
something happens (at, in, on, past, during, by, before), preposition of
direction shows where something is going (after, down, along, through,
towards, past, away from, out of).
In constructing English sentences, sometimes students perform much
error because they do not master the English grammar well. One of their
grammatical errors is relating to preposition.

The problem above arises because the students mastery of the

preposition is lack, so that in conducting the sentence, they use it
improperly.
From the statements above the writer wants to conduct a study under
the title THE MASTERY OF PREPOSITION OF TIME AND PLACE BY
THE EIGHTH GRADE STUDENT OF SMP NEGERI PUNTARU IN
ACADEMIC YEAR 2014/2015.
1.2. Research problem

chapter four is finding and discussion,chapter five conclusion and
suggestion.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
2.1.

Definition of Preposition
Hartono in Remaja (1996:311) defines preposition as the form of the
word that cannot be changed and usually put in front of a noun or pronoun
to show its relationship with other words in the sentence.
For example:
a. I put the book on the table
b. She keeps the jewelry in the cupboard
Foch in Jawar (1999/2000:146) explains that the word preposition
comes from pre which means before and position which means
location. Therefore, preposition is a word which is put in front of or
before a noun or pronoun to clarify the position of the word that we mean.
For example:

a.
b.

I see that Petner sits in front of him at school.

He put a glossary in her book.
Therefore, in this writing, the writer would like to say that
preposition is the words or group of words to show the relationship between

to object noun and pronoun and other in the sentence, indicating place point
or period of time.
For example:
a.

Enos gets up at six oclock.

(at is used to indicate point of time)
Ririn goes to the market in the morning.

b.

(in is used to indicate period of time)

c. In live in Jakarta
(In is used to indicate place)
2.2.

because of
3. Three words formation
Example:

2.3.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Hornby (2000:1085) states that research is a careful study of a subject,
especially in order to discover new fact or information about it. According to
definition above, in this chapter the writer only talk about the following topics
such as research method, research procedure, population and sample, research
instrument and data analysis technique.
2.1.

Research Method
The method used in this writing is a descriptive quantitative, because
it is designed to gain the information about the condition or status of
phenomenon as it exists. It also aimed to describe the variable or condition
that really occurs in a certain situation. Michael et al (1984:30) point out the
aim of descriptive research is to describe the facts, the characteristics, the
relationship between phenomena investigated systematically, factually and
accurately. Based on the statements above, it also undertakes to elicit the
fact by interpreting them exactly. In this case, the write uses this method to
describe the students level of mastering of preposition of time and place.

3.2.
3.2.1.

Data Resource
Population
Population is the entire, group of people, even and object that have been
formulated clearly (Arikunto in Juma, 2010:14). Therefore, the population
of this research is the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri Puntaru in
school year 2014/2015.that consists of 20 students.

3.2.2.

Sample

The sample of this study is students of grade eight. In this study, the writer
took the sample as the subject of research by using the theory which is
given by Arikunto, where if the population is more than 100, the sample is
scattered between 10% to 15%, but if the population is less than 100, all of
them can be taken as the respondent (Arikunto in Juma 2010:15).
Therefore this kind of sample is called population sample.
3.3.
Procedure Of Research
3.3.1.
Procedure Of Data Collection
In order to collect the data of the mastery level of preposition of time and
place among the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri Puntaru in academic
year 2014/2015, the writer use test to know the mastery level of
preposition of time and place among the eight grade students of SMP
Negeri Puntaru in school year 2014/2015.
3.3.2. Research Instrument
Instrument is the process of selecting of developing measuring devices and
methods appropriate to a given evaluating problem (Issach and Michael,

12

1984:100). Therefore, in collected the data, the writer used a test as the
instrument. The writer believes that by giving the test, the writer could get
the data directly. The test is an objective test that consists of 50 items.
3.3.3. Data Analysis
In this study, the writer analyzed the data by using descriptive quantitative
analysis. Here, the writer only focused on the analysis the mastery level of
Preposition of time and place.
In analyzing the data, the writer used the following formula:
In computing the students mastery level in preposition of time and place,
the writer will use the following formula.
X
N=
Y x 100%
Where:
N = Students mastery level
X = The total score of correct answer
Y = The total number
(Arikunto in Langko (2014:16)
And the range of score to determine students mastery level is:
80% - 100% = excellent
70% - 79% = good
60% - 69% = fair
0% - 59% = poor
After that, the writer will also analyze students work to
determinestudents grammatical problems associated with the used of
preposition of time and place.

student 13 or 65% are fair. It means that, students mastery level of
preposition of time and place is fair. The data give signals that eighth

15

grade studentsof SMP Negeri Puntaru did not master yet English
preposition of time and place.
4.2 Discussion
4.2.1. The students mastery of preposition of time and place.
Based on the data analysis it is found that almost all of the English
grade studentsof SMP Negeri Puntaru in the School Year 2014 / 2015, have
low ability in preposition of time and place, there level of ability ranged from
fair, good, and excellent, while there is no one of the eighth grade students of
SMP Negeri Puntaru in the school year 2014 / 2015 who is in the score of
excellent.
Furthermore, the writer here also calculated the mean score of the
student result in order to find out their average score of mastery by using a
common formula as follows :
N=

X
Y x 100%

N = ( students mastery )
X = ( the total score of the students correct answer )
Y = ( the total number )
Resulted :
N=
