Chapter 2 Literature Review 

2.1 Relevant Concept 

Generally speaking, phonics has been defined as a method to teach reading and writing of  the  English  language  (Hanna  Onyi  Yusuf,  2012:660-666).  Based  on  the  sounds  of  letters, groups of letters, and syllables, it is intended to arouse and promote learners’ ability to hear, identify  and  manipulate  phonemes  which  refer  to  units  of  sound  that  distinguish  one  word from another in a particular language. The whole idea of phonics revolves around the goal to teach  learners  the  correspondence  between  these  sounds  and  the  spelling  patterns  that symbolize them. Nevertheless, variations of the definition of phonics abound. Different scholars subscribe to  different  versions  of  phonics  even  if  they  only  differ  from  each  other  in  nuances.  For instance, Adams holds the idea that “Phonics refers to a system of teaching reading that builds on  the  alphabetic  principle,  a  system  of  which  a  central  component  is  the  teaching  of correspondences between letters or groups of letters and their pronunciations.” (Adams, 1990: 50) Heilman believes that “Phonics method of teaching reading but is an essential ingredient of reading instruction.” (Heilman, 1985: 17) While the former stresses the role of phonics as a way  to  teach  reading,  the  latter  was  inclined  to  think of it as only a component in the larger field of English reading instruction.
