ix ABSTRACT
Ristiyanti, Resha, 2013. “The Correlation between the Reading Comprehension and the Translation Ability of the Eleventh Grade Students of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the Academic Year 2013/2014”. Skripsi. English Education Department of Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (1) Mutohhar, S.Pd, M.Pd (2) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd
Key word: correlation, reading comprehension, translation ability.
Reading is very important, because by reading the readers can understand what the text tells about. The students need to read the text first before they start translating the text. Translation also important, because translation is ultimately a human activity which enables human beings to exchange ideas and thoughts regardless of the different language used. The concrete problem between reading and translating that often happens can be seen in in the teaching and learning process. When the students do not read the text better, they will get difficulties in translating.
The objective of this research to find out whether there is a significant correlation between the reading comprehension and the translation ability of the eleventh grade students of English Education Department of Muria Kudus University in the academic year 2014/2013.
This method used in this research is correlation research. Variable X is the reading comprehension and variable Y is the translation ability. The population is the science program of the eleventh grade students of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 and the sample is XI Science-3 class. The writer gave two test. The first is test to know the reading comprehension t, and the second is test to know the translation ability. Then, the data are analyzed by using Pearson Correlation Product Moment Formula to know the correlation between the reading comprehension and the translation ability.
The result of the research shows that there is a significant correlation between the reading comprehension and the translation ability of the eleventh grade students of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014. It based on the result of the calculation which has explained in Appendix 15 that rxy is 0.403.
It is category low correlation.
