Abstract

Type of this research was correlational study. This research aimed to find outcorrelation between students’ mastery on simple past tense and vocabulary toward their ability to write recount text at first year of SMAN 12 Padang. The hypothesis of this research was that if there was a significant correlation between students’ mastery on simple past tense and vocabulary toward their ability to write recount text at first year of SMAN 12 Padang. Numbers of population was 221 students. They were distributed into seven classes. The researcher took two classes as sample and the sample was 63 students by using stratified cluster random sampling technique, because the members of population were in different strata (exact class and Social class), they are distributed in groups or classes, they were homogeneous; they had the same syllabus, time allocation and materials.The classes selected as sample were classes X IPA 1 and X IPS 3. The researcher collected data by using grammar test, vocabulary test, and writing test. To analyze the data, the researcher used the Pearson Product Moment Formula and Multiple Correlation Formula. After analyzing the data, the researcher found thatthe value of r table at significant level α 0.05 and degree of freedom n-2 was 0.248. It means that r counted (0.63) was higher than r table (0.248). Then, the value of r table at significant level α 0.05 and degree of freedom n-2 was 0.248. It means that r counted (0.61) was higher than r table (0.248). Last the value of coefficient correlation of three variables was .62 and f counted was 18.732 (α 0.05) and the degree of freedom (df) n-k-1 (60), value of f table was 3.15. It means that f counted (18.732) was bigger that f table (3.15). Therefore, the relationship between three variables was significant. It means that the alternative hypothesis stating “there is a significant correlation between students’ mastery on simple past tense and their ability to write recount text, there is a significant correlation between students’ mastery on vocabulary and their ability to write recount text,there is a significant correlation between student’s mastery on simple past tense and vocabulary toward their ability to write recount text at first year of SMAN 12 Padang” was accepted. The researcher proposed suggestions. It is necessary for the teacher to improve students’ simple past tense mastery, vocabulary mastery, vocabulary UNIVERSITAS BUNG HATTAiv mastery toward their ability in write recount text. Next, students should study more about simple past tense, vocabulary and writing recount text, as well as do more exercises on them.
