Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out the correlation between the second grade students’ listening ability and their speaking ability at SMAN 5 Padang. The design of this research was correlational research. The population of this study was class XI F students SMAN 5 Padang. The cluster random sampling technique was used in this research to select the sample. The number of the sample as respondents for try-out and real test was 33 students. The data collection instruments in this research were multiple choices for listening test and speaking test. It was found that the reliability index of the multiple choices test was 0.70 and the reliability index of the speaking test was 0.91. The result of the data analysis showed that the value of r_calculated of this research was 0.123, while the value of r_table with the level of significance 0.05 and the degree of freedom (df= n-2) was 0.344. It means that the r_calculated was lower than r_table (0.123<0.344). Therefore, the null hypothesis of this research stating that there is no significant correlation between the second grade of students’ listening ability and their speaking ability at SMAN 5 Padang was accepted. Based on the result of the data above, it can be interpreted that there was no significant correlation between the students listening ability and their speaking ability. This is because the students face anxiety in speaking compared to listening and students lack practice in listening and speaking. Therefore, it is suggested to English teachers to encourage the students to practice active listening and speaking through interactive activities, such as role plays and discussions to bridge the gap between their listening comprehensions and speaking abilities. Last but not least, the researcher suggests further researchers to do other related research dealing with other aspects and factors that influence students’ speaking.
