To test the hypotheses, the correlation coefficient from the calculation will be compared to correlation coefficient from Product Moment table
. To find
, the degrees of freedom must be calculated using the following formula:

In which: = degrees of freedom
N = number of cases respondents
nr = number of variables
After the value of is calculated,
can be determined in 5 significance. The criteria for hypothesis testing are:

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
A. The Description of the Data
There are two variables in this research, which are students’ movie-watching activity x
and students’ listening skill y. The data of variable x were obtained from questionnaire see Appendix 4. The questionnaire consists of two sections.
The first section aims to gather the respondents’ background and the second section aims to gather the score for statistical analysis.
1. The Respondents’ Background
From the first section of the questionnaire, there are three descriptions of the respondents: gender, age, and the length of exposure. From all 30 of the
respondents, 10 of them are male and 20 are female. The ages of the respondents are mostly identical, which is around 19
– 20 years old. Meanwhile, the length of exposure or the number of years they have spent in learning English slightly
varies. 53 of the respondents have learnt English for more than 10 years, 37 respondents have learnt it for 7
– 9 years, and the rest of the respondents have only learnt for about 4
– 6 years see Appendix 5.
