From the calculation above, it was known that rxy = 0.55 and df = 48; if we compare with table of “r” values at the degree significance of 5 and 1, then
the correlation between students’ interest in speaking and their speaking score is
significant rxy: rt = 0.55 0.279; rxy : rt = 0.55 0.361 To summarize the result of the correlation is listed below:
“r” value of product moment Interpretation
0.00 – 0.20
Considered as no correlation 0.20
– 0.40 Low Correlation
0.40 – 0.60
Medium Correlation 0.60
– 0.80 Strong Correlation
0.80 – 1.00
Very strongperfect Correlation
Based on the table above it can be seen that the correlation index rxy = 0.55 is in the interval of 0.40
– 0.60, this means that the correlation belongs to “medium correlation”. In other words, there is a positive correlation between
variable X and variable Y. As mentioned before, from the result of calculation, the value of rxy is
0.55; df is 48. If it is compared with the rt at the degree of significance 5 0.279 and 1 0.361, the
correlation between students’ interest in speaking and students’ speaking score is significant rxy : rt = 0.55 0.279 ; rxy : rt = 0.55
0.361. So, the null hypothesis H0 of the research is rejected and alternative hypothesis H
α is accepted. The meaning of this statement is the students’ interest in speaking has a significant relationship or influence with students’
speaking score.
2. Data Interpretation
From the description of the data, there is a significant correlation between the students’ interest in learning speaking and their speaking
score. It means that the higher interest in learning speaking, the better score will be achieved by the students.
This means that students who have high interest try to pursue knowledge more than those who have the low one. They enjoy their
learning. They always feel happy and ready to do any task given by the teacher. They do not only learn speaking in school but also out of the
school. They try to practice what they learn at school to the outside of the school.

CHAPTER IV CONCLUSSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
According to the description of the data that mentioned in the previous chapter, the writer concluded that there is a significant correlation between the
students’ interest and their speaking score. If the students do not have an interest of learning speaking skill they will have difficulty to absorb the lesson. Of course
in doing the task of speaking they cannot do it well. And they will get bad score. In other hand, the students with high interest tend to be more attentive in
learning speaking, of course, with the high frequency of attendance, and finally they will get good score.
B. Suggestions
At the end of this paper, the writer would like to offer some suggestions, both for the teacher and the learner:
1. The English teachers are expected to motivate their students to increase their interest in speaking.
2. Make the atmosphere of the class more conducive in order to make the teaching-learning process more a live, full of fun for all students.
3. As the condition of students in speaking, they often shy or even scare being laughed by their friends. Give them motivation to be more relaxed in
speaking and tell them do not to be afraid to make mistake, because that is a process to gain success.
4. For students, they are expected to increase their interest in speaking by practicing what they have learned at school.
