research, the writer collects the students’ motivation in reading through questionnaires and their reading speed score.
The research is about the correlation between students’ motivation in reading and their reading speed.
C. The Population and Sampling
The population of the research consists of three classes from second semester of English Education Students of Tarbiyah and Teachers Training, UIN Syarif
Hidayatullah, Jakarta. The writer used cluster random sampling and chosen 1 class to be the sample
of taken data. The class consists of 30 students.
D. The Technique of Data Collecting
In collecting the data, the writer uses some instruments: a. Questionnaire
The research instrument which is used in collecting the data is a reading motivation questionnaire. The questionnaires based on indicators of
motivation in reading and they consist of 32 items, and the item has four options on a scale from 1 to 4, with 1 very different from me, 2 a little
different from me, 3 a little like me, 4 a lot like me. Before the students fill the questionnaires, the writer gives the explanation and direction about
what the students should do with the questionnaires. b. Test
The test that used by the writer consists of two main tests. The first is t
esting students’ reading speed. In this test students will be asked to do the rapid reading and find out their Word Per Minute Rate. The second is testing
s tudents’ comprehension. The reading comprehension test will be done after
the students finish doing the speed reading, and they will be ask to answer the reading comprehension test related to the text they have read before. Both
reading speed score and comprehension score will be integrated and the final score would be the effective reading rate.
E. The Technique of Data Analysis
In obtaining the result of research, the writer used analysis technique by Karl Pearson, therefore it often called by Pearson correlation technique.This analysis
is to find out the correlation between students’ motivation in reading and reading
speed. The writer uses the correlation formula by Pearson Product Moment Correlation Formula.
The formula that used is:
r
XY
= √
r
xy = The Correlation Coefficient Between Reading Motivation andtheir
Reading Speed
N = The Number of Respondents
X
= The St udent’s Score of Reading Motivation
Y = The Stude
nt’s Score of Reading Speed
Σ
X = The Sum of Reading Motivation Score
Σ
Y = The Sum of Reading Speed Score
Σ
X

= The Sum of Squares of Reading Motivation Score
Σ

= The Sum of Squares of Reading Speed Score
Σ

= The Squares of The Sum of Speed Reading Motivation Scores
Σ

Σ
XY = Total Number of Reading Motivation Scores and Reading Speed Score
To know the correlation between two variables, namely: reading motivation and reading speed, the writer used correlation level r as seen in the Table below:
Table 3.1 Interpretation of Product Moment Score
Coefficient of Correlation “ r ” Interpretation
0.00 —0.20
The Correlation is Neglected 0.20
—0.40 The Correlation is Weak
0.40 —0.70
The Correlation is Strong Enough 0.70
—0.90 The Correlation is Strong
0.90 —1.00
The Correlation is Very Strong

F. Hypothesis
The statistical hypothesis of this skripsi may be:
1. Null Hypothesis Ho
“There is no correlation between students’ motivation in reading and their reading speed”.
2. Alternative Hypothesis Ha “There is a correlation between students’ motivation in reading and their
reading speed”.
