INTRODUCTION
Establishing the skill of English language starts from the early education is currently essential. Therefore, English should have been taught since elementary education. However, after the 2013 curriculum was implemented, English is no longer a compulsory subject in elementary schools [1]. This government policy has an impact on the English language skills of Junior High School (SMP) students. One of them is Garuda Junior High School, Tangerang City. At the beginning of the implementation of the policy, first grade junior high school students no longer had sufficient knowledge of English to follow well the English class at the junior high school level. On the other hand, teachers are also required to teach according to the demands of the curriculum and provide an interesting learning process for students so that the subject matter can be easily understood. As an example, described by an English teacher at Garuda Junior High School, in the English language skills of grade VII and VIII students, the students' lack of knowledge about some English vocabularies in simple contexts such as Greetings or other topic, for instance about Wild & Farm Animals. Some of them don't even know about it.
