ABSTRACT

Erlin Nurfuah. X2210010. CORRELATIONAL STUDY BETWEEN
STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY MASTERY, HABIT OF WATCHING
ENGLISH MOVIES, AND SPEAKING SKILL OF EIGHTH GRADE
STUDENTS OF SMP ISLAM DIPONEGORO SURAKARTA in 2012/2013
Academic year. Thesis. Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Sebelas Maret
University, Surakarta. June 2013.

The objectives of this quantitative research were to find out whether or not
there is a correlation between vocabulary mastery, habit of watching English movies
simultaneously and speaking skill and to know whether or not the correlation is
significant. This research was carried out in class VIII A of SMP Islam Diponegoro
Surakarta.
The researcher conducted the test for getting the data of students’ vocabulary
mastery and speaking skill and questionnaire for getting the data of students’ habit of
watching English movies. Yet, before conducting the test, the researcher did the tryout to find out the validity, reliability, and readability of the instruments. The
requirements of correlation must be normal, linear and significant.
The results of the study showed that: (1) There is a positive correlation
between students’ vocabulary mastery and speaking skill. The coefficient of the
correlation (r) is 0.98. The value of t-obtained is 25.272 and the value in table is 1.76.
The correlation is significant because to > tt. (2) There is a positive correlation
between students’ habit of watching English movies and speaking skill. The
coefficient of the correlation (r) is 0.940. The value of t-obtained is 10.321 and the
value in table is 1.76. The correlation is significant because to > tt. (3) There is a
positive correlation between vocabulary mastery, habit of watching English movies
simultaneously and speaking skill. The multiple correlations coefficient (R) is 0.989.
The multiple correlations are significant because the value of F-obtained is 300.351.
The research finding of this study implies that there is a positive correlation

between vocabulary mastery, habit of watching English movies and speaking skill.
Therefore, the teacher can profitably direct students to enhance their speaking skill
through mastering vocabularies and motivating the students to build their habit in
watching English movie in their everyday life. The students could spend their spare
time to watch English movies and make it as their habit. The researcher also suggests
to the other researchers to develop the result of this research into a new research by
assembling a new innovation in using English movie as the media or the materials of
the teaching English.
Keywords: speaking skill, vocabulary mastery, habit of watching English movies,
correlation, quantitative research.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif. Tujuan dari penelitian ini
yaitu untuk mengetahui apakah ada korelasi antara penguasaan vocabulary, kebiasaan
menonton film berbahasa Inggris dan kemampuan speaking.
Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di kelas VIII A SMP Islam Diponegoro
Surakarta. Untuk mengumpulkan data, penulis melakukan tes untuk mengetahui
penguasaan vocabulary dan kemampuan speaking dan questionnaire untuk
mendapatkan data terkait kebiasaan siswa menonton film berbahasa Inggris. Tetapi
sebelum melakukan tes, penulis melakukan try-out untuk mengetahui validitas,
reliabilitas dan readabilitas. Untuk mngkorelasikan tiap variabel, data tiap variabel
harus normal, linier dan significan.
Hasil penelitian tersebut menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Ada korelasi positif antara

penguasaan vocabulary dan kemampuan speaking, dengan koefisien korelasi (r) 0.98,
to = 25.272 dan tt = 1.76. Korelasi antara kedua variabel significan karena to > tt (2)
Ada korelasi positif kebiasaan menonton film berbahasa Inggris dan kemampuan
speaking, dengan koefisien korelasi (r) 0.940 to = 10.321 dan tt = 1.76. Korelasi antara
kedua variabel significan karena to > tt (3) Ada korelasi positif antara penguasaan
vocabulary, kebiasaan menonton film berbahasa Inggris dan kemampuan speaking,
dengan koefisien korelasi (R) 0.989, F = 300.351.
Hasil penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa ada korelasi positif antara
penguasaan vocabulary,kebiasaan menonton film berbahasa Inggris dan kemampuan
speaking. Maka dari itu guru dapat meningkatkan kemapuan speaking siswa melalui
penguasaan vocabulary dan juga memotivasi para siswanya untuk menonton film
berbahasa Inggris. Para siswa film sebaiknya menghilangkan keraguanya untuk
menonton film berbahasa Inggris, karena mereka dapat belajar banyak hal terkait
bahasa Inggris. Penulis juga menyarankan penulis lain untuk mengembangkan
penelitian ini dengan menciptakan inovasi baru dengan menggunakan film berbahasa
Inggris sebagai media pembelajaran.
Kata kunci: speaking skill, vocabulary mastery, habit of watching English movies,
korelasi, penelitian kuantitatif.
