less than or equal to the significant level selected, the correlation for the term is statistically significant.
3.8. Hypothesis Testing
To conclude a possible correlation of students’ learning strategies to their reading
comprehension, the researcher used the criteria of the hypothesis acceptance. The hypothesis was analyzed by using One-Way Anova of SPSS for Windows ver.
16.0. The writer used the level of significance 0.05 in which the hypothesis was approved if sign p. It meant that if the p-value was less than or equal to the
significant level selected, the effect for the term was statistically significant Setiyadi, 2006. To determine whether the first hypothesis was accepted or
rejected, the researcher used following criteria:

The criteria presented above actually means that: H

V. CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
This chapter presents the conclusions of the results of the research and the suggestions from the researcher to the other researchers and English teachers who
want to conduct the research about the correlation of language learning strategies towards reading comprehension.
5.1. Conclusions
Based on the result of the research and the data analysis, the researcher would like to conclude that:
1. In this research, the researcher focused on three languange learning strategies,
they were: 1 cognitive strategy, 2 metacognitive strategy, and 3 social strategy. The result of the research showed that the students mostly tended to
use cognitive strategy. It probably caused by the students ’ laziness to manage
their own learning process by paying attention, self-evaluating, and self- monitoring. Then, the second strategy mostly used by the students was
metacognitive strategy and social strategy was the third frequent language learning strategy used by the students.
2. There is significant correlation between language learning strategies towards
reading comprehension. Having analyzed students’ language learning strategies
and their reading comprehension test, the result showed that those two
