Data Description
As mentioned in the research methodology, to get the data, the writer

conducted a research by giving a questionnaire about students’ vocabulary
learning strategies to 65 students as a sample. After the data were collected, the
researcher analyzed them to know what are the vocabulary learning strategies
used by the students mostly. Second, to get the data about students’ vocabulary
test score, the researcher gave the students’ vocabulary test. Finally, after the
writer analyzed both data to see the correlation between students’ vocabulary

65

strategies and students’ vocabulary size by applying the formula of Pearson
Product Moment Correlation.
1) Students’ VLS Score
The findings show that in six categories, the respondents most frequently
use Memory at the highest mean score (2.20). Meanwhile the least use strategies
are Social (Consolidation) strategies with the lowest mean score (1.77).
Based on the calculation of variable Y was found ΣY=3305 and
ΣX2=175153.
2) Students’ Vocabulary Test Score
After the researcher has done the vocabulary test, the writer score to each
student by using the formula:
S=

𝑛

𝑁

x 100

Where:
S = students’ score
n = number of true answer
N = number of test items.
Based on the calculation of variable Y was found ΣY=4462 and
ΣY2=328326.

66

3) To find out the average score of the students’ vocabulary learning
Strategies, the writer will use the formula as bellow:
𝑥
𝑁

𝑀=

Where:

M = mean
X = the Sun of Score
N = number of the students.
It is known that:
M = mean
X = 3305
N = 65
So, it can be counted as bellow:
𝑀=
𝑀=

𝑥
𝑁

3305
65

𝑀 = 50.85

So, the average score of the students, mastery of English vocabulary was
50.85.
So, based on the valuation scale used in Islamic State Institute of Palangka
Raya, the average score of the students’ vocabulary learning strategies of English
Department students on Academic Years 2013 were in less criteria (50-
