ABSTRACT
Wilujeng Ayu Nooriskowati. K2209093. A Correlation between Emotional
Intelligence, Grammar Mastery and Reading Comprehension (A Correlational
Study on the Ninth Grade Students of SMP Negeri 1 Sempor in the Academic
Year 2016/ 2017). English Education Department. Teacher Training and
Education. Faculty of Sebelas Maret University. Surakarta. 2016.
The objectives of this research are to find out the correlation between (1)
emotional intelligence and reading comprehension; (2) grammar mastery and
reading comprehension; and (3) emotional intelligence, grammar mastery and
reading comprehension.
This research used quantitative method, that is, correlational study. The
study was carried out in 18-21 July 2016 at SMP Negeri 1 Sempor Kabupaten
Kebumen. The population was all the ninth grade students consisting of eight
classes. The total number of students was 240. The sample was 30 students taken
by cluster random sampling technique. The instruments in collecting the data
were tests and questionnaire. Objective test was used to collect the data of reading
comprehension and grammar mastery; while a questionnaire was used to collect
the data of emotional intelligence. The techniques used to analyze the data were
Single Correlation and Multiple Regression Correlation.
The results of the data analysis show that in the level of significance of α
=0.05 (1) there is a positive and significant correlation between emotional
intelligence and reading comprehension (
= 0.800 > rt = 0.361); (2) there is a
positive and significant correlation between grammar mastery and reading
comprehension (
=0.683 > rt = 0.361); and (3) there is positive and
significant correlation between emotional intelligence, grammar mastery and
reading comprehension (Ry12 = 0.865 and Fo = 39.97 > Ft = 3.35).
Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that there is a positive
and significant correlation between emotional intelligence and reading
comprehension. There is a positive and significant correlation between grammar
mastery and reading comprehension, and there is positive and significant
correlation between emotional intelligence, grammar mastery simultaneously and
reading comprehension of the ninth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Sempor in
the academic year of 2016-2017.
The result of this research shows that emotional intelligence and grammar
mastery are important factors that give contribution to reading comprehension.
Both emotional intelligence and grammar mastery give 74.74% effective
contribution to reading comprehension. So, emotional intelligence and grammar
mastery should be considered in increasing reading comprehension, although the
factors are not the only variables determining reading comprehension.
Keywords: Correlation, Reading Comprehension, Emotional Intelligence,
Grammar Mastery.
