Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out the correlation between the second grade students’ grammar ability and their speaking ability at SMAN 2 Koto Baru. The design of this research was correlation research. The total population of this study is 120 students class XI F SMAN 2 Koto Baru. The cluster random sampling technique was used in this research to collect the data. The number of the sample as respondents for try-out was 27, and the number of the sample as respondents of real test was 30 students. The data collection instruments in this research were multiple choices for grammar test and speaking test. It was found that the reliability index of the multiple choices test was o.85 and the reliability index of the speaking test was 0.97. The result of the data analysis showed that the value of r_calculated of this research was 0.65, while the r_table with the level of significance 0.05 and the degree of freedom (df=n-2) was 0.361. It means that the r_calculated was higher than r_table (0.65>0.361). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis of this research stating that there is significant correlation between the second grade students’ grammar ability and their speaking ability at SMAN 2 Koto Baru was accepted. Based on the result of the data above, it can be interpreted that the students’ grammar ability influences their speaking ability. Related to the conclusion, it is suggested to English teacher to improve their students’ ability in grammar and speaking. Therefore, it is suggested to the students to improve their grammar and more exercise to improve their speaking ability. Furthermore, the English teachers are suggested to guide their students to develop their speaking ability by motivating them to learn more grammar. Last but not least, the researcher suggests to the further researchers to do the related research dealing with other aspects and factors that influence speaking ability.
