REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Review Literature

A. The Nature of Foreign Language Learning
Learning is a process of changing one's self from not knowing knowing,
from not being able to being able to. As stated by Garry (in Sudjana, 2005: 5)
learning is a process which is characterized by change in someone. Gredler
(1986: 1) also defines ​"learning is the process by which humans acquire various
​ ccording to Rombepajung (1988: 3)
kinds of competencies, skills and attitude." A
learning and teaching means a process involving learners certain individuals
who have unique abilities and qualities, as well individual teachers with their
own environment as well. Learning language according to Keraf (2004: 1) is a
communication tool between people in the form sound symbol produced by
human speech devices.
Learning is different from teaching. Learning is centered on learning
subject or students. Learners must search, find, analyze, solve problems,
formulate, and conclude a problem, whereas teacher teaching is more active than
students. In teaching and learning activities centered on the teacher. According
to Stern (1987: 21) language teaching is "language teaching is defined as
activities intended to bring about language learning, a theory of language,
teaching always implies concepts of language learning. " The opinions above
can be interpreted, teaching Language carries a mission to teach students how to
learn the language, linguistic theory, and concepts contained in language
learning. Basically, the most important thing in learning is communication that
is an essential component and a major product in language learning. Hardjono
(1988: 78) argues that the purpose of Foreign language teaching today is
directed towards skills development use foreign languages ​learned in accordance
with the level and level of which determined by the applicable curriculum. The
point is the curriculum has a role important in formulating goals for teaching and
developing skills foreign languages ​according to the ability of students.
B. The Nature of Interest in Reading
1. Understanding Interest in Reading
According to Tarigan (2008: 7) reading is a process carried out and is
used by readers to get the message, which they want delivered by the author
through words / written language. So read more 12 emphasized on the
acquisition of information that will later be conveyed to people other. As
according to Rahim (2008: 3) reading is a combination of perceptual and
cognitive processes. Perpetual can be interpreted as a depiction or
imagination that each person has. The cognitive domain itself sourced from
the affective domain. The affective domain has to do with interests, trust
self, controlling negative feelings, and delay and will to take a risk. So,
interest is the affective domain which then becomes a source of
understanding, interpretation, and assimilation of someone in reading.
Interest is a situation where someone has a sense of interest will be
something, as expressed by Suryabrata (1993: 109) that interests is the
tendency in individuals to be attracted to an object or like an object. The
same thing also expressed by Slameto (1995: 182) that interest is a feeling
of preference and a feeling of interest in a thing or activity without anyone
asking. Broadly speaking, interest means a taste underlie someone to do
something he likes.
2. Factors Affecting Interest and Indicators
Interest arises because of a sense of interest in knowing or learn
something. In the sense that interest arises because of inner awareness
yourself to accept the relationship between himself and something outside
of himself. Similarly, interest in reading, interest in reading can not appears
if there is no sense of attraction. In order to foster interest in reading as a
habit in students, the process of forming habits reading takes no short time,
because the process of forming interest read someone is influenced by
various factors.
Interest is influenced by various psychological aspects of a person.
Hurlock (1999: 115) states the characteristics of children's interests based
on the factors that influence them, including the following.
 (1) Interest in growing together with physical and mental development,
(2) interest depends on the readiness of learning, (3) interest depends on
learning opportunities, (4) limited interest development, (5) interests
influenced by cultural influences, (6) interests with emotional weight, (7)
interests egocentric.

Sardiman (2005: 95) suggests a strategy for arousing interest with

following ways.
(1) Generating a need. (2) Connect with a matter of past experience. (3)
Give an opportunity to get good results. (4) Using various forms teach.

Based on the description, there are several things that can influence the
high interest in reading among them is the percentage of attention to that
interest deepened, there is a strong urge to complete the task given by the
teacher in a timely manner, the amount of effort indicated for achieve
success that can be seen from the high initiative and curiosity like using
time to study in the library, a lot read books that support these interests, and
complete learning facilities to support interest in reading.
3. Measurement of Reading Interest
To measure interest in reading in this study, the assessment technique
using nontes techniques in the form of a questionnaire (questionnaire).
Arikunto (1997:24) explain the definition of the questionnaire is a list
consisting of several questions that must be filled in by the person to be
measured (respondent). With the questionnaire can be known about the
situation or personal data, experience, knowledge, attitudes or opinions of
respondents regarding everything related about interest in reading, and so
on. The questionnaire is the most appropriate and efficient measurement
medium. Efficiency more visible time when using this measuring medium
than using Interview.

C. The Essence of Vocabulary Mastery

1. Vocabulary Definition
Definition of vocabulary according to the Big Indonesian Dictionary
(1988: 577) is a vocabulary. Soedjito (1992: 21) adds vocabulary or
vocabulary is: (1) all words contained in a language, (2) the wealth of
 words owned by a speaker or writer, (3) words used in a field of science.
The same thing was expressed Nurgiyantoro (1988: 146) who said that the
vocabulary is vocabulary or whatever is owned by a language.
Kridalaksana(1984: 122) states that vocabulary (vocabulary) means
lexicon (lexicon). Besides that, it can also be interpreted as a language
component that contains everything information about the meaning and
usage of words in the language, or it could be interpreted as wealth owned
by a speaker, writer, or a language; vocabulary; vocabulary
2. Vocabulary Mastery
Vocabulary plays an important role in the preparation of sentences.
With sufficient vocabulary someone can choose which vocabulary will be
chosen so the other person will understand. In addition, deep a lot of
vocabulary mastery students will be able to speak properly and no
conflicts will arise due to misunderstanding.
Hardjono (1988: 71) states all the basic aspects of a foreign language
must be mastered by students in the process of teaching and learning
vocabulary aspects considered the most important, because without
mastery of the vocabulary quite impossible someone can use a foreign
language. That matter reinforced by Djiwandono (1996: 43) which states
that mastery vocabulary that is part of language mastery is distinguished in
active-productive and passive-receptive mastery. Definition of mastery of
vocabulary active-productive ie vocabulary that has been mastered and
understood can be used by language learners naturally without any
difficulty in communicate or speak. Passive-receptive mastery is a
vocabulary that is mastered can only be used by language learners of
language expression other people, but he is not able to use vocabulary
naturally within communicate or speak.
3. Vocabulary Teaching
The vocabulary teaching aims to increase or improve vocabulary of
students. In this case students are expected to be able to use the vocabulary
appropriately in communicating both accordingly with its function.
Vocabulary teaching in schools is not specifically taught or separate, but
 are taught simultaneously with skills other languages. In addition, mastery
of vocabulary is a minimum goal to be achieved.
There are several ways you can do to increase the vocabulary learners.
Keraf (1991: 67) mentions there are four ways to expand A person's
vocabulary, among others can be stated: (1) through the learning process,
(2) through context, (3) through dictionaries, dictionaries of synonyms and
thesaurus, and with (4) analyze words.

2.2 Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework of thought is basically the direction of reasoning to
be able to provide temporary answers or formulation of the problems mentioned. In this
case, the book is a source of information that can open up insights. The book also
provides inspiration to keep vocabulary organized. Reading activities play an important
role, one of which is increasing vocabulary.
Lack of interest in reading is based on several things, such as students addicted
to online games and social media, and the availability of less interesting books. In this
case, the teacher must struggle to arouse students’ interest in reading, and motivate
students to read regularly

To facilitate the literature study of Influence Of Reading Interest On Increasing

Vocabulary Mastery, will be presented the schema below:

SCHEMA 1 : The direct influence of students’ interest in reading vocabulary

mastery.

SCHEMA 2 : Used Multiple Correlation research. Quantitative approaches

are associated with social survey techniques such as structured
experimental observations, content analysis and statistical
analysis. Research design using ​ex post facto design​. Research
using a sample, then the collected data is analyzed.
SCHEMA 3 : There is a significant influence of interest in reading on
vocabulary mastery. The higher the interest in reading, the more
students’ vocabulary.

SCHEMA 4 : ​Reading Interest On Increasing Vocabulary Mastery is good

problem solving. Interest in reading will prove to affect
vocabulary. Students who have an adequate reading interest will
quickly add to their vocabulary. By reading students will
become richer and not be trapped only by the vocabulary that is
often used (words that are familiar in daily life).

3.1 Research Method

This study applies the type of correlation research at PT form of quantitative

approach. The authors will use correlation method because the writer wants to know the
effect one variable to another variable. In a correlation design, two different methods
can be applied. The most commonly known is seen in relationship studies. In these
studies, score obtained from two variables are correlated to determine the relationship.
The second method applied in the prediction studies; however, use the score of one
variable to predict the outcome of the other variable.

3.2 Technique of Data Collection

The data of this research are collected through questionnaire and test.
