ABSTRACT

Yessi Karsita Putri. K2209099. THE CORRELATION BETWEEN READING INTEREST, GRAMMATICAL COMPETENCE AND READING SKILL (A CORRELATIONAL STUDY OF THE TENTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMA N 1 KARANGANYAR IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF

2012/2013).Thesis, English Education Department. Teacher Training and

Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University. Surakarta. October 2013.

The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a correlation between (1) reading interest and reading skill; (2) grammatical competence and reading skill; and (3) reading interest, grammatical competence simultaneously and reading skill.

The study was carried out from June to August 2013 at SMA Negeri 1 Karanganyar. The population was all of the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Karanganyar, which consisted of eight classes. The total number of the students was 272 students. The sample was 34 students taken by using cluster random sampling. Questionnaire and test were used to collect the data of the instrument. Questionnaire was used to collect the data of reading interest, while objective test was used to collect the data of grammatical competence and reading skill. Single and Multiple Linear Regression and Correlation were used to analyze the data.

The result of analysis shows that there is a positive correlation between (1) reading interest and reading skill (rx1y = 0.367); (2) grammatical competence and

reading skill (rx1y = 0.352); and (3) reading interest, grammatical competence

simultaneously and reading skill (rx1y = 0.435).It means that reading interest and

grammatical competence cannot be neglected in improving reading skill.
