Abstract

Indonesian language vocabulary has improved. This case is testified by the increasing number of word entries in Indonesian Big Dictionary or the so-called Kamus-Besar-Bahasa-Indonesia (KBBI): 62,100 entries (edition I, 1998); 72,000 (edition II, 1991); 78,000 (edition III, 2005); 90,000 (IV edition, 2008), 127.036 (edition V, 2016). While the number of the words of Indonesian language is developing, the curriculum in its education level is changed. In 1994 curriculum, it was mentioned that elementary school graduates should have mastered 9,000 vocabularies; 15,000 for junior high schools; and 18,000 for high schools. However, in the competency-based curriculum, the later one, it is changed into 12.000 vocabularies for High School graduates. Unfortunately, there is no limit of the vocabulary mastery in the 2013 curriculum, the latest. So far, the standard of vocabulary measurement of the vocabulary that needed to be achieved on the students’ textbook have not yet existed. In connection with this, a research is done for calculating entries in the Indonesian language. There are some difficulties in vocabulary counting because there are some unique words. Apart from that, coupled with the help of the manual, the calculation of the entries in the Indonesian language textbook of SMP shows the results in the range of 4,000 entries. Compared to the equivalent class in America with 86,741 entries and compared with the number of entries in the current KBBI totalling 127,036, the number of entry for junior high school students still appears to be lacking.
