INTRODUCTION

Mastering English vocabulary is necessary to hold English language, because vocabulary is the basic for mastering speaking, reading, listening and writing. Coady and Huckin (1997:5) in Ulfi (2012:1) said that vocabulary is central to language and of critical importance to the typical language learners. Vocabulary is the basic to learn four English skills. It is supported by Thornbury in Ulfi ( 2007:13 ) that by mastering vocabulary we can convey language, because we can say with little grammar, but we cannot say if there are not vocabularies. May students are lack of stock of the word. The students who have little knowledge of vocabulary will face some difficulties to understand the written language and oral language.

From the statement above, the young learners should master vocabulary in Learning English. The young learners can learn with fun and conducive situation because they sometimes feel bored with monotonous lesson. It is supported by Hasan (2011:16) learning is right, learning must be fun, conducive and enable children to become motivated and enthusiastic. So, english teachers should have a technique that makes the learner interested in learning vocabulary.

Based on preliminary study, the researcher found that the teaching learning process to the young learner in class V at MI Islamiyah Rogojampi are very crowded  and most of learners were not interested in learning process. The teacher did not use media and interesting activities. It makes the young learners felt bored with the lesson. Further, they had difficulties to master vocabulary, because the teacher did not create a fun technique to make the young learners understand in comprehending new vocabularies and being active in learning vocabulary. The researcher also found that the teacher did not make a lesson plan. Since, it is known that lesson plan is the important thing teacher should prepare before conducting a teaching learning process.

As it is known that in considering the problems found in preliminary study, the researcher offers a technique to the class to create an interesting teaching and learning, so both of the teacher and the young learners enjoy in vocabulary class. The technique offered is mindmapping since it combines both and become whole brain.

As the researcher knows that in learning vocabulary, memori sensory has important value. The young learners need balance in usage of the left brain and right brain. Whole brain is needed by the young learners to think perfectly. Right brain is for creativity and visualization. Left brain is for logical and rational. Buzan in Rostikawati (2008:78) states that Mindmapping is a simpleway to enter information into the brain and to re-take the information from the brain. Using mindmapping, the young learners starts with the teacher’s main topic or the team as the central idea and allows the main branches of main mapping to represent the main points of their thought (right brain) then combined by interesting colors and colors (leaf brain) which will stimulate the brain. Thornbury (2002:18) says that, acquiring a vocabulary requires not only labeling but categorizing skills. So, the young learners are easier to memorize vocabulary. They will learn vocabulary by words grouping in using mindmapping technique.

The previous study by Ulfi entitled “Mindmapping Technique To Improve Students’ Mastering Vocabulary In TKIT Al-Kautsar On The 2011 – 2012 Academic Year”. The differences using mind mapping in TKIT and MI. In TKIT, the researcher just introduces vocabulary and playing game with mind mapping technique to the students. And in MI, mind mapping used by the researcher to improve the students’ vocabulary.

 Based on the explanation above, the researcher entitled “Improving of students’ Vocabulary achievement Using Mind Mapping on the Fifth grade at MI Islamiyah Rogojampi In The 2013 – 2014 Academic Year, will be conducted.
