ABSTRACT

  Ristiyanti, Resha, 2013. “The Correlation between the Reading Comprehension

  and the Translation Ability of the Eleventh Grade Students of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the

Academic Year 2013/2014”. Skripsi. English

  Education Department of Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (1) Mutohhar, S.Pd, M.Pd (2) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd Key word: correlation, reading comprehension, translation ability.

  Reading is very important, because by reading the readers can understand what the text tells about. The students need to read the text first before they start translating the text. Translation also important, because translation is ultimately a human activity which enables human beings to exchange ideas and thoughts regardless of the different language used. The concrete problem between reading and translating that often happens can be seen in in the teaching and learning process. When the students do not read the text better, they will get difficulties in translating.

  The objective of this research to find out whether there is a significant correlation between the reading comprehension and the translation ability of the eleventh grade students of English Education Department of Muria Kudus University in the academic year 2014/2013.

  This method used in this research is correlation research. Variable X is the reading comprehension and variable Y is the translation ability. The population is the science program of the eleventh grade students of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014 and the sample is XI Science-3 class. The writer gave two test. The first is test to know the reading comprehension t, and the second is test to know the translation ability. Then, the data are analyzed by using Pearson Correlation Product Moment Formula to know the correlation between the reading comprehension and the translation ability.

  The result of the research shows that there is a significant correlation between the reading comprehension and the translation ability of the eleventh grade students of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014. It based on the result of the calculation which has explained in Appendix 15 that r xy is 0.403. It is category low correlation.

  Based on the result above, the writer would like to give suggestion as; (1) the students should read many kinds of texts and try to understand and find the main ideas or information of the texts. (2) The English teacher should employ more various strategies that allow the students to understand the texts more easily without translating.

  

ABSTRAKSI

  Ristiyanti, Resha, 2013. Hubungan antara Pemahaman Membaca dan

  Kemampuan menerjemah pada Siswa Kelas Sebelas SMA 1 Bae Kudus

  Tahun Akademik 2012/2013 . Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan

  Bahasa Inggris. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Mutohhar, S.Pd, M.Pd (2) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd Kata kunci: korelasi, pemahaman membaca, kemampuan menerjemah.

  Membaca merupakan hal yang sangat penting, karena dengan membaca, pembaca akan paham dengan isi dari suatu teks. Siswa butuh membaca teks terlebih dahulu sebelum mereka menerjemahkan teks. Terjemahan juga sangat penting, karena terjemahan adalah kegiatan yang memungkinkan manusia untuk bertukar pikiran tanpa perlu terganggu dengan bahasa apa yang digunakan. Masalah konkrit antara membaca dan menerjemah dapat diketahui dari proses kegiatan belajar mengajar. Ketika siswa tidak membaca teks dengan baik, mereka akan mendapat kesulitan dalam menerjemahkan teks.

  Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada hubungan antara pemahaman membaca dan kemampuan menerjemah pada siswa kelas XI SMA 1 Bae Kudus tahun akademik 2013/2014.

  Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian korelasi. . Variabel X adalah pemahaman membaca, dan variabel Y kemampuan menerjemah. Populasinya adalah kelas XI program IPA SMA 1 Bae Kudus, dan sampelnya adalah kelas XI IPA-3. Penulis memberikan 2 test. Yang pertama adalah tes untuk mengetahui pemahaman membaca, dan yang kedua adalah tes untuk mengetahui kemampuan menerjemah. Kemudian, data dianalisis dengan menggunakan Korelasi Pearson Product Moment untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pemahaman membaca dan kemampuan menerjemah.

  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwaaada hubungan yang significan antara pemahaman membaca dan kemampuan menerjemah pada siswa kelas sebelas SMA 1 Bae Kudus tahun academic 2013/2014. Ini berdasarkan hasil perhitungan yang telah dijelaskan dalam Lampiran 15 yang diperoleh r xy adalah 0.403. hal ini dikategorikan kedalam korelasi yang rendah.

  Berdasarkan hasil diatas, penulis memberikan saran sebagai berikut: (1) siswa harus membaca berbagai jenis teks untuk mengembangkan pemahaman membaca mereka. (2) guru bahasa inggris harus menggunakan banyak strategi supaya memperkenankan siswa untuk memahami teks lebih mudah tanpa menerjemahkan.
