ABSTRACT

Rizka Dian Permatasari. K2209077. THE CORRELATION BETWEEN

GRAMMAR MASTERY, SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND SPEAKING SKILL.

A Thesis, English Education Department of Teacher Training and Education Faculty

of Sebelas Maret University. Surakarta. August 2013.

The objectives of this research are to find out the correlation between (1)

grammar mastery and speaking skill; (2) self-confidence and speaking skill; and (3)

grammar mastery and self-confidence simultaneously and speaking skill.

The research used correlational method. The research was carried out from

January to June 2013 at English Education Department of Teacher Training and

Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University. The population was all of the fourth

semester students of English Education Department of Teacher Training and

Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University which consisted of 92 students. The

sample which consisted of 30 students was taken by using simple random sampling

technique. The instruments used to obtain the data were questionnaire and test. The

questionnaire was used to obtain the self-confidence data, the written test (multiple

choice test) was used to obtain the grammar mastery data, and the oral test (role play)

was used to obtain the speaking skill data. The techniques used to analyze the data

were Regression and Correlation (both simple and multiple).

The result of the data analysis shows that at the significance level α=0.05 (1)

there is a positive correlation between grammar mastery and speaking skill

( (0.9815) > (0.361); (2) there is a positive correlation between self-confidence

and speaking skill ( (0.9601) > (0.361)); and (3) there is a positive correlation

between grammar mastery and self-confidence simultaneously and speaking skill

( = 0.9824, = 0.9651, and = 373.04 > = 3.35). Besides, the result of the

research shows that the contribution of grammar mastery to speaking skill is 80.84%,

self-confidence to speaking skill is 15.67%, and grammar mastery and self-confidence

simultaneously to speaking skill is 96.51%. It means that 96.51% of speaking skill is

determined by grammar mastery and self-confidence.

From the data above, it can be concluded that grammar mastery and speaking

skill are important factors in giving contribution to speaking skill. Therefore, grammar

mastery and self-confidence should be considered in increasing speaking skill.

Keywords: correlation, grammar mastery, self-confidence, speaking skill
