Abstract

Vocabulary Notebook is a personal dictionary created by students in their notebooks. Inside the Vocabulary Notebook template there are several components in it. The components are the target word, word meanings, and word categories, sentences including the target word, synonyms, antonyms and images of the target word. Vocabulary knowledge is also one of the most important aspects in the process of writing text. The process of writing has roughly four steps. There are planning, drafting, editing and final version. This makes researcher conducts further research on the process of students making vocabulary notebook and the process of writing students using Vocabulary Notebook focusing on planning and drafting. This research focuses on two questions: 1) how do students make the components in the Vocabulary Notebook? 2) how do students use vocabulary notebook in their writing process? To answer the research question, researchers used qualitative methods by analyzing documents, distributing questionnaires to students, observing and interviewing students.

The first data was taken by distributing questionnaires to students, analyzing student documents and supported by observers' observation notes. Meanwhile the second data was obtained from the results of interviews with students and supported by observers' observation notes. The enthusiasm of the research question has been found. 1) The results of the first question show that there are several ways in which students look for the components in the Vocabulary Notebook. One of them is to use a dictionary, ask friends, search on google, search inside the student worksheet, and note some students who enter the vocabulary they already know into their Vocabulary Notebook. 2) The results of the second research question show that all students use notebook vocabularies to help their writing process. In the planning phase of writing students collect vocabulary and example sentences that they will use into their Vocabulary Notebook and then proceed to the process of drafting or writing students using vocabulary and example sentences that they have collected before in their writing.
