The mastery of past tense is 59.9. The average of students’ achievement in writing past recount text is 64.41. The final result of correlation coeficient (rxy) was 0.347 and the
critical value from the formula of degree of freedom 1% is 0,403 and 5% is 0.312 it means that the result obtained from the computation is greater than its critical value.Based on the finding, the table of “r” product moment show that the correlation value is on the “low” size, in which between 0.20-0.399. It meant, there is low

disarankan mengubah cara mengajar terutama dalam mengajar menulis bahasa Inggris. Tidak hanya mengajarkan ilmu menulis tapi juga diharuskan meningkaatkan kemampuan tata bahasa. Untuk peneliti, penelitian ini juga relevan denganpenelitian sebelumnya yang dapat digunakan oleh peneliti yang lain untuk melakukanpenelitian lebih lanjut yang berhubungan dengan korelasi antara keterampilan bahasa dan komponen bahasa. Penelitianini juga bisa menjadi sumber inspirasi untuk peneliti selanjutnya untuk meningkatkan kelemahan dan memilih instrumen lainnya, perluasan dan evaluasi.
