appropriate grammar which makes the sentences meaningful.
The use of grammar shows whether or not the speaker uses
the correct forms of the target language. If the speaker
ignores the correct use of grammar, the listener will find
many difficulties in understanding his sentences. Briefly, the
mastery of grammar is important to make good sentences which
support the speaking to be understandable so the listener can
understand the ideas or the messages easily.
b. Vocabulary
In learning a new language, vocabulary is very important.
Richards and Rodger (1999: 32) state that vocabulary is one of the
most important aspects of foreign language learning. The
vocabulary is considered as the most important factor in the
foreign language learning. Vocabulary refers to the mastery of
the new words, the meaning, and the usage. Improving the
vocabulary can be done by making the list of the new words
or by consulting the dictionary or by finding the synonym
and the antonym. Mastering a large number of vocabularies is very
beneficial for the speaker. The speaker can use his vocabulary
to express his ideas or messages using various words or phrases
or sentences. Without good mastery of vocabulary, it is impossible
that the speaker can speak fluently and accurately in the target
language.
