Arrum Astria Mahmudah (1112014000043). The Relationship Between Students’
Speaking Ability and Their Writing Achievement: A Correlational Study at the
Fifth Semester of Departement of English Education at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah
Jakarta, Academic Year 2018/ 2019.
Keywords: Correlation, Speaking, Writing.
This study aimed to find and describe the relationship between students speaking ability
and their writing achievement.This study took place at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta .
The population of this study was the fifth semester students of Department of English
Eductaion in academic year 2018/2019. They are students from 5A, 5B and 5C. They are
85 students, altogether. This study used a quantitative method with the correlational as the
reasearch design of study. It was employed to find out and measure the relationship
between two variables covering speaking ability and writing skill. Documentation was
used for collecting the data of speaking and writing . Based on the research analysis,the
contribution from speaking to writing was 39%. The value of correlation between those
variables was 0.623 with 0.01 significance level. The finding was also supported by the
data and the picture of a scattred diagram where the dots were getting close to the line
which showed that the correlation between those two variables existed. Then, the
correlation coefficient (t) found was 4.215; while the t table (tt) score in the significance
of 0.05 was 1.701. Therefore, the to> tt or 4.215> 1.701. It meant that Ha was accepted. In
other words, it confirmed that there was a high relationship between speaking ability and
writing achievement of the fifth semester students of the Department of English
Education at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University of Jakarta in academic year
2018/2019.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes about the background of the study,identification of the
problems, limitation of the problems, formulation of the problem, objective of the
study and the significance ofthe study.
A. Background of study
English has become the first foreign language in Indonesia which gets more
priority to be learned by students, it begin from the first year of Elementary School
level up to the university level.
Writing is one of an important part in communication. Through writing, the
students can transfer information and knowledge to others by putting their ideas into
a piece of paper. Writing ability is developmentally dependent on proficiency in
listening comprehension, speaking, and reading.1 Each skill has correlation to each
other so that one skill can influence others skills. One of the skills learned in language
learning is speaking. In Speaking, the development of spoken language plays a key
role in the development in written language. These include making sense of language,
building a varied vocabulary, having a precise knowledge of verbal grammar, varying
sentence structure, and also processing information, organizing ideas, and many
more.2
In fact, Speaking is also be most people's first proper chance to create language
of their own - whether they are a little kid learning their first language or adults
learning a brand new foreign language. In Departement of English Education,
Speaking start up from the first semester ,and it’s way earlier than writing. It is
speaking which leads the way for the learners to create more language before students

get learn the form of writing. Speaking allows the learners to make mistakes which
writing does not. Then, both syllabuses concerned similar issues on describing,
narrative and argumentative . However, the data also showed that whoever failed or
bad at speaking. Their written language is also bad as their spoken language and
otherwise the good one is also good at writing.
Along with this study, there is another researcher who pay attention on the same
issues. Michelle and Youngjoo studied about the relationship about spoken and written
discourse of a German college student in ESL class, Mary. They want to know wheter
there is a relationship between speaking and writing through an observation. The
finding of this study revealed that using Mary seemed to write just like the way she
spoke, which contributed to making her writing formal, implicit, and less persuasive.
Her writing seems really similliar with her speaking that prove the relationship
between them. So, it can be concluded that ESL students such as Mary employ two
approaches (i.e., writing/speaking and reading writing/connections) to influence her
writing. The result of this study was there is significant relationship between those
two variables.3
Oral language lays the foundation for the reading and writing skills learners will
develop as they enter and progress through school. They will use oral language in all
aspects of their education, whether much or not. As they connect with their peers and
teachers and throughout their lives as they grow into adulthood. Even Fillmore stated
that oral language (speaking) function as a foundation for literacy and as the means of
learning in school and out.4 It is also said that students’s speaking and listening lead
the way for their reading and writing skills, and together these language skills are the
primary tools of the mind for all future learning. It can be said that a successful
writing course must select the conventions and styles which are likely to be useful to

the students, but a great deal of the sensitivity which students need in the use of
language will develop unconsciously from spin-off from their reading and speaking
in the rest of the English course, so writing cannot be seen as something completely
separated.5
Based on that reason, the writer is interested in finding out whether there is a
relationship between students’ speaking ability and writing achievement (a
correlational study of the 5th semester of Departement of English Education )
B. Identification of the Problems
Based on the background of the study stated above, the problems were
identified:
1. Speaking influence the production of written language.
2. Speaking give a contribution for writing.
3. Speaking lays the foundation for writing skills, learners will develop their their
language.
C. Limitation of the Problem
The problem of this study was limited to speaking ability in relation to writing
achievement of the fifth semester of English Education Departement .
D. Formulation of the Problem
The problem of this study was formulated into following question:
Is there any relationship between student’s speaking ability and their writing
achievement ,academic year of 2018/2019?

E. Objective of the Study
The objective of the study was to know and describe about whether or not there
is a relationship between speaking ability and students’ writing achievement .
F. Significance of the Study
This research is aimed to:
1. English Learners
The result of the research will the students to speak up more often than they did
before. It also encourages to give a concern to Speaking. In addition, by improving
their speaking, they will be able to increase their writing ability.
2. English Teachers
The result of the study can give information to the teacher about the
students’ ability in writing in correlation with students’ speaking ability.
3. Other Researchers
The result of this can be useful for other researchers who will take the research
in the same field.

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This chapter explain about every details of the theoretical framework
which tell the detail of writing and speaking, correlation theory between them,
previous study, theoretical thinking, and hypotheses .
A. Speaking
1. The Nature of Speaking
One of the skills learned in language learning is speaking. The reason is that
speaking may need courageous for language learners. It takes courageous because
speaking is not only producing sounds, but it needs the knowledge of how to
pronounce, to deliver meaning, and to turn ideas into words. Scott stated that
speaking is produced expression by expression, in as feedback to the word by
word and expression by expression productions of the person we are talking to our
interlocutor.1Also the other writer, Robert pointed out every time you speak, not
just when giving a talk or being interviewed, you are both conveying information
relevant to the subject being discussed and presenting yourself..2It also added by
Lynn Cameron, speaking is the active use of language to deliver points in order to
make other people can understand them.3
As a skill that enables us to produce utterances, when genuinely
communicative, speaking is desire- and purpose-driven; in other words, we
genuinely want to communicate something to achieve a particular end.4According
to Brown and Yule, the intention of teaching speaking is that the students should
be able to express himself in the target language, to copewith basic interactive

Press, 2001), p. 40.

ELT, ( Sussex: Willey- Blackwell, 2013), p.157.

skills like exchanging greetings and thanks and apologies, and to express his
needs”-- request information, service and many more.5
From definitions above, speaking is a skill which deals not only the production of
what the speaker says but also the expressions of the speaker in order people
understand what they are trying to convey. Speaking is a skill which is used in
daily life and the skill is required by much repetition.
2. Elements of Speaking
There are some elements of speaking ability which correlate with the ability
to process information and language such as:6
a. Language features
Among the elements necessary for spoken production (as opposed to the
production of practical examples in language drills, for example), are the
following:
1) Connected speech: Good English speaker is not only be able to speak, but
also have to be fluent with connected speech as they pronounced their words.
They must produce the individual phonemes of English when they produced
the language.
2) Expressive devices: Native speakers of English change the pitch and stress of
particular parts of utterances, vary volume and speed, and show by other
physical and non-verbal (paralinguistic) means how they are feeling.
3) Lexis and grammar: Spontaneous speech is noted by the use of amount of
common lexical phrases, especially in the performance of certain language
functions. Teachers should give much exposure a variety of phrases for
different functions such as agreeing or disagreeing, and many more
expression.

1999), p. 27.
6
Jeremy Harmer, The Practice of English Language Teaching, 3rd
Edition. (London:
Longman, 2001), pp .269—271.
7
4) Negotiation language: Effective speaking benefits from the negotiatory
language we use to seek clarification and to show the structure of what we are
saying.
b. Mental/ Social Processing
The next part of a speaker productive ability included the knowledge of
language skills such as those discussed above, success is also dependent upon the
rapid processing skill that talking necessities
1) Language Processing: Effective speakers must arrange the language in their
head and put it into correct order so that it comes out in forms that are not
only understanding but also convey the meanings appropriately.
2) Interacting with others: Most of the speaking involves interactions with one
or more participants.
3) Information processing: Aside from the emotions when we deliver our
speech, English speaker have to be able to process the information and
understand what the other speakers said.
3. Factors Affecting EFL Students’ Speaking Ability
Jack and Willy pointed out that there are some factors that might be affecting
EFL students’ speaking ability such as down below:7
a. Age or Maturational Constraints
Interactive behavior of EFL learners is influenced by a number of factors.
Age is one of the most commonly spotted factors of success or failure in foreign
language learning. Most of the case, adult learners are just different with young
learners. Once the young learners begin to learn the language, their progress are
better than the adult learners. The young learners are even reach the nativelike
level while the adult learner might be stucked at some points.
b. Aural Medium
Oral skill is closely related with Listening. When we learn to speak, we tend
to imitate what we hear. Then, Brown and Yule also asserted that when an adult
foreign language learner learn to speak, they are not only depend on the listening. 7Brown and Yule, op.cit,. p. 263.
8
Their reading and writing are also influenced their speaking since adults learners
are on the other level of understanding.
c. Sociocultural Factors
Many culturalcan affect the way learners, learners can’t separate their habit
with their own culture when start to produce the language. Students have to adjust
their own mothertongue language with English itself.
d. Affective Factors
When learners try to convey their thought in front of the other people, they
will feel much insercure or anxious . It leads them to think that they are failure
learners because they care so much about the judgement from other people. That’s
why affective factor can be a crucial factor in learning.8
4. Characteristic of Good Speaking Activity
In a classroom, speaking activities may happen to practice communicative
competence.Penny stated some characteristics of a successful speaking activity
such as bellow: 9
a. Learners talk a lot.
As much as possible of the period of time allotted to the activity is in fact
occupied by learner talk. This may seem obvious, but often most time is taken up
with teacher talk or pauses.
b. Participation is even.
Classroom discussion is not dominated by a monitor of talkative participants:
all get chance to speak, and contributions are fairly evenly distributed.
c. Motivation is high.
Learners are eager to speak: because they are interested in the topic and have
something new to say about it, or because they want to contribute to achieving a
task objective.
8 Jack C. Richards and Willy A. Ready, Methodology in Language Teaching, (Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press, 2002), pp. 205—207.
9 Penny Ur, A Course in Language Teaching: Practice and Theory, (Cambridge: Cambridge
University Press,1999),p.120.
9
d. Language is of an acceptable level.
Learners try to convey themselves in expressions which are relevant, easily
comprehensible to each other, and of an acceptable level of language accuracy.
5. Problems with Speaking Activities
Speaking in target language might be hard for some learners. Then, some
learners may be having some difficulties to speak that will lead them to silence in
target language. Penny pointed out some problems that correlated that cause
learners don’t want to talk: 10
a. Obstacle
Unlike the other skills, speaking needs a few levels of real-time exposure to
an audience. Students are often obstacle about trying to talk anything in the target
language in the classroom, they are worried about making mistakes, shy of
criticism or get shamed of the focus that their speech appeals.
b. Nothing to say
Even if they don’t get any obstacles, we often hear students that they are
speechless and nothing to say; they don't have any reason to express their own
thoughts beyond the goofy feeling that they have to speak.
c. Low participation
Only a certain learner that usually speak up at a time when she or she is to be
heard, and in the middle of people this means they are almost not talking in the
foreign language at all, since the problem is blended by the tendency of some
students to dominate, while others give a little participation.
d. Mother-tongue use
In class, most of all people are talking in their mother language since it's
much easier than talking in the foreign language, they feel that is so strange to
speak to speak to one another in a foreign language since they think that they are
much understanding with their mother tongue. If they start to practice the foreign
10Ibid. p. 121.
10
language, it would be hard to do that, since they don't talk with the foreign
language since the beginning.
6. Types of Classroom Speaking Performance
Brown said in his book that there are six types of speaking performance in the
classroom: 11
a. Imitative
In this kind of speaking performance learners try to imitate what the teacher
says. For example, the learners practice an intonation or try to pinpoint vowel
sound. Imitation of this kind is carried out not for the purpose of meaningful
interaction, but for focusing on some particular element of language form.
b. Intensive
Intensive speaking goes one step beyond imitative to include any speaking
performance, that is designed to practice phonological or grammatical aspect of
language. Intensive speaking can be self-initiated or it can even form part of some
pair work activity, where learners are "going over" certain forms oflanguage.
c. Responsive
This kind of speaking performance is short replies to the teacher or student-
initiated question or comments. And these replies do not extend into dialogues.
For example:
Teacher: How are you today?
Student: We are great, thanks, and you?
d. Transactional
A transactional language is an extended form of responsive language. The
purpose of this kind of speaking performance is to delivering or exchanging
specific information
e. Interpersonal
Another material of talking is interpersonal dialogue, it brought out a lot of
purposes of maintaining social connections than for the transmission of facts and
information.
11 H. Douglas Brown, Teaching by Principles: An Interactive Approach to Language Pedagogy, (San Francisco: Addison Wesley Longman, Inc, 2001), Second Edition, p. 362.
11
f. Extensive (monologue)
Learner from middle level to academic or high levels are asked on to give
long conversation in the form of oral reports, summaries or perhaps short
speeches. Comprehensive conversation is quite solemn and consultative. These
types of speaking performance need creative teachers who will always measure
speaking ability of his or her students through many kinds of techniques that are
agreed by students and suitable with their level, whether beginner, intermediate or
advanced students.
B. Writing
1. The Nature of Writing
There is no doubt that writing is the most complex skill for English learners
to learn.12
The troubles are far more than producing and arranging their thoughts,
but also in pouring these thoughts into interesting text. The skills involved in
writing are highly complex. Learner must focus on the next level skills of
planning and organizing as good as lower level skills of spelling, punctuation,
word choice,and many more. Some matters becomes even more pronounced if
their language proficiency is weak.13
Other authors said thatwriting is a system for
interpersonal connection using read-able signs or graphic symbols on a flat
surface such as paper, cloth, and much more.14
McDonough assertedthat writing
isa process of encoding (putting your message into words) carried out with a
reader in mind.15
Writing is widely used within foreign language courses as a
convenient means for engaging with aspects of language other than the writing
itself. For Example: learners written down new vocabulary;copy out grammar

Roudledge, 1980), p. 120

rules; or just give an answer to reading and many more. It could be said that
writing is something to share your thought and deliever it.16
In conclusion, based on the definition of writing above, writing can be
considered as a complex activity which is done individually through a number of
steps started from searching the existing knowledge to publishing the work. The
more people practice to write the more skillful they create a composition. Also,
writing can be considered as public activity because not only it involves the
writer’s skill but also involves giving the readers or the audiences needs
2. The Process of Writing
A well-written text is not composed of some easy steps, it is because to obtain
a good composition, there is some process that should be done in the process of
writing.
John Langan asserted in his book of several steps for writing: 17
a. Prewriting
This step comprises the activities such as taking considerations towards the
audience or the readers, discovering ideas, narrowing the topic through
brainstorming, determining a controlling idea, selecting the supporting ideas,
andorganizing the idea in a logical way.
b. Writing a First Draft (Drafting)
This step refers to the activity in which individuals start to write their ideas
down into a piece of paper to form a paragraph.
c. Revising
This step constitutes the activity in which individuals revise the composition
in order that the ideas are communicated plausibly and can be understood by
readers.
16
Penny Ur, op.cit., p.162.
17 John Langan, College Writing Skills with Readings, (New York: McGraw-Hill,2005), SixthEditon, pp. 22—34.
13
d. Editing
This step refers to the activity in which individuals recheck the composition
in terms of its grammar, punctuation, and spelling.Individuals need to conduct
some steps to finish the final draft. Although it seems that they have obtained their
final draft version, they should recheck their writing through planning, drafting,
and editing to get the real final draft version.
Similarlly, Harmer points out similar steps on the writing process as pictured

In conclusion, the steps follows with similliaractivities, and these process can
be flexible. These are flexible because the completed piece of writing depends and
are in accordance with the writers‟ conditions and perceptions whether or not
their final draft have met the writing purpose and the readers‟ needs.
3. Characteristics of Written Language
Brown asserted some characteristics of written language as follows19
:
a. Permanence
When a written work put in writing and conveyed in its last form to its
intended audience , the writer share his thought for example to share his thoughtin

order to improve, to clarify , to attract his audiences .Once you write down on a
paper, then it would be last forever.
b. Processing Time
Writers has no time limit to expand their works before they share the final
draft to be consumed by the audiences. But, a lot of educational contexts want
their students to finish their writing with a time limit.
c. Distance
The gap between writers and their audience. A good writer have to know how
to syncronize their thought with the audience so their work could be accepted by
their target audiences.
d. Orthography
Everything from simple greetings to extremely complex ideas are captured
through the manipulation of a few dozen letters and other written symbols.
e. Complexity
Written works are complex , writers have to know how to bring together
sentences, how to arrange the references to other elements in a text, how to built
syntactic and lexical variety.
f. Vocabulary
A written work demands the richness of language with various kinds of
words, so good writers would the richness of English vocabulary.
g. Formality
The rules or obligation of each form must be followed when the writers want
to write, such as academic writing that consist of grammar rules, the systematical
written rules and many more.
4. Types of Texts
Writing can be divided into some different ways according to their function.
James Britten divided into poetic, transactional, and poetic. Meanwhile, in ELT
15
Methodology Prince and Practices, the authors pointed out several types of
writing such as : 20
a. Personal writing
This one is usually informal, not well arranged and limited.
b. Transactional writing
Unlike personal writing, this one is well arranged, give much attention to the
detail of information or message to talk about.
c. Creative writing
This is for self-expression or leisure, usually, a writer of this writing is so
vibrant to share his thought
d. Narrative writing
The narrative contains a sequence of events together with characters and
settings.
e. Descriptive writing
While this writing is focusing on the details just like physical attributes, a
thing, an animal, a place, and many more. It shows the senses sight, hearing ,
smell, touch and taste to convey the whole illustration.
f. Expository writing
Expository explains about the presentation of facts, information, and
explanation of things as they are. This kind of writing does not provide any
interpretation or take a foundation.
g. Persuasive writing
It contains the writer's belief, knowledge, a point of view, opinion, statements
and other things that could make sure the reader to go along with the writer or
accept his belief.
5. Purpose of Writing
There are various forms in writing and each form has its own purpose. For
example, exposition writing is the genre of writing that the purpose is to explainor
20
Nesamalar Chitraveli,Saratha, and Soo Choon, op. cit., pp.136—138.
16
inform the reader.Grenville said that there a number of writing purposes which
are explained as follows: 21
a. Writing to entertain
Goal of this writing is to get engaged with the readersand share the written
work with feeling and emotion. So, the reader will feel the same way as the writer
do. This kind of writing usually in the forms of novels, stories, poems, song
lyrics, plays, and screenplays;
b. Writing to inform
This refers to inform or tell readers about something. The writing to give
information can be in the forms of writing newspaper, articles, scientific
orbusiness reports.
c. Writing to persuade
It refers to convince readers about something. Providing relevant and
plausible evidence is considered important and entailed inthis kind of writing. The
writing to persuade can be in the formsof writing for advertisements, articles,
newspaper, and magazine.
Another book also pointed out some purposes of writing, the authors
explained that writing as the daily activity with some purposes such as:
1) Writing to get things done;
2) Writing to give information;
3) Writing to persuade;
4) Writing to maintain the relationship;
5) Writing to document occurrences, events, etc;
6) Writing to record feelings, experiences, observations, etc.22
6. Factors of Good Writing
A good quality of writing is not an easy matter; there are a number of factors
that determine whether or not writing is considered good. This section attempts to
21
Kate Grenville, Writing from Start to Finish: A Six-Step Guide, (Sydney: Allen & Unwin,
2001), pp. 1—2.
22
Nesamalar, Saratha & Soo Choon, op. cit.,p. 136.
17
disclose and reveal the features that make and lead to the quality of a good writing
in details. Moreover, White points out that a good writer is produced through a
careful thinking that goes along with four pillars as follows: 23
a. The appeal to the target audience
It refers to the audience or readers‟ needs. Writers are required to have
adequate understanding and considerations about readers in order to the readers
interested to read the writing.
b. A coherent structure
It refers to the organizational patterns or schemes encompassing introduction,
body, and conclusion which interrelate well and plausible.
c. A smooth detailed development
It refers to the condition in which the ideas of the writing are developed and
expanded through raising the general points and then discussing them in detail.
d. An appropriate style
It refers to the meaningful and good combination of word choices in
communicating the intended ideas.
C. Correlation Between Speaking and Writing
1. Developmental of Writing Skill
Efficiency in written expression is built on a foundation of adequency in
receptive and expressive oral and receptive written language. The following
behaviors correspond to the language mode description:24
a.receptive oral language corresponds to listening comprehension.
b. expressive oral language corresponds to speaking.
c. receptive written language corresponds to reading.
d. expressive written language corresponds to writing.

Instruction, (London: Anaspen Publication, 1982). pp. 4—5.
18
Writing ability is developmentally dependent on proficiency in listening
comprehension, speaking, and reading. This diagram below will represent a
diagram of the three basic components of the language system. This diagram
shows the developmental relationship of the language as pictured down below:
Picture 2.2
The Developmental Progression of Language
2. Speaking and Writing
When thinking how people write, we need to think the similiarities and
differences between writing and speaking. Although the fact that the differences
in two forms can be seen, there are some concerns when speaking and writing
look very resemble each other and are done in much the same way.
a. Time and Space
Whereas spoken cmmunication operates in the here and now world of
immediate interaction, writing transcends time and spance. Speaking is often
transcient, whereas writing tends to be more permanent. Spoken words dissappear
and not permanent while written words last forever.
Some speech feels much like writing too, lecturers, for example, are certainly
spoken events, but they are often read out from written notes or a text. And
whether they are constituted from the lecturers script or from the notes made by
member of the audience.
b. Participants
We have seen the importance of audience in the writing process, suggesting
that one of a competent author’s abilities is the ability to know who they are

Expressive (Speaking)
Written Language:

Expressive (Writing)
19
writing for. Not all speaking are informal, like writing, the participats are usually
from the colleges, bussiness man or educated audience.
c. Processes
Writing is much different than speaking. The final product of writing is not
nearly so instant, and as a result the writer has a chance to plan and modify what
will finally appear as the finished product or final draft after being edited and
corrected so many times. Anyway, speaking is not always a process free their
heads before they start to speak or before a pre arrange conversational encounter
(such as interview, a meeting, a formal discussion, and many more) takes place
and well prepared before delivering the speech to the audiences. We may even
rehearsse what we are going to say and we wrtitten down what we are going to
say for the events.25
D. Previous Study
The study of the correlation between speaking ability and writing
achievement has been done by a few researchers. They found out that there is a
significant effect or no effect and correlation between the speaking ability and
writing achievement.
In Michelle Jeffries and Youngjoo Yi had been conducted this study26
. The
title this study was Relationship Between Spoken and Written Discourse of a
Generation 1.5 ESL Student: A study of a German Student in a College ESL
Composition Class.The research was conducted at the University of Arkansas in
Fayetteville in the United States, precisely in ESL composition class in the
University of Arkansas. She used the case study as a methodology. The object of
the study was Mary, a student from Germany who learned English in ESL class.
The instruments are the documentation and observation. The finding showed that
there a correlation between speaking ability and writing achievement because
Mary showed that both her spoken and written are alike. These findings indicate
25
Jeremy Harmer, op. cit,.pp. 6—9.
26
Michelle Jeffries and Youngjoo Yi, Relationship Between Spoken and Written Discourse of
a Generation 1.5 ESL Student: A study of a German Student in a College ESL Composition Class,

20
that Mary seemed to write just like the way she spoke, which contributed to
making her writing informal, implicit, and less persuasive. Finding from this study
suggest that Generation 1.5 ESL students such as Mary employ two approaches
(i.e., writing/speaking and reading writing/connections) to improving writing.
Next, Relationship between Second Language Speaking and Writing Skills
and Modality Preference of University EFL Students was conducted by Kyoko
Baba, Yuri Takemoto and Miho Yokochi27
. Its objective was to investigate the
students’ speaking and writing skills on academic performance. The participants
were 26 Japanese EFL students class. Data was collected through an oral test and
in writing, the participant answered questionnaires about their modality preference
and educational experiences, then also an interview. The findings revealed that the
ESL students preferred writing (70%) and some of them are performed equally in
both modality. In addition, pointed out that the participants used a wider variety of
vocabulary and shorter sentences in writing than in speaking. Then, few of their
writing is just as same as they were speaking. But, others participants prefer
writing than speaking. That was meant that there was a relationship between
speaking and writing.
Last, a study under the title The Relationship between English Speaking
and Writing Proficiency and Its Implications for Instruction was conducted by
Pamela Rausch, a researcher from St.Cloud State28
. It was conducted to find out
the influence of instruction in argumentative speaking on students’ ability to write
argumentatively on the academic performance of eight students of high school in
the United States. A case study was employed as a design of this study.The
instrument used was test and survey. Its finding revealed that is such a purposeful
instruction of speaking appeared to be transferable to writing skills, also
benefiting English learner skills.

21
From the previous research, the writer finds some differences and similarities with
this study. Some differences in the previous studies are the objective, place, time,
and method of the study. This present study used quantitative descriptive as the
method and while the previous studies used a case study approach and an
experimental approach method for their study. The similarity between this present
research with the previous is about speaking and writing as the materials.
E. Theoretical Thinking
According to the writer’s thought and experience, Speaking is an act of
giving so much exposure to the students in learning a foreign language. Speaking
is important in language learning even though speak in a foreign language has
hardly happened. In the classroom, students are very passive and rarely get
exposure from teachers or even their surroundings. In fact, in learning a foreign
language, students need more practice to use the foreign language.
When we are young, we learn our mother tongue by listening, after that we are
mimicking what we hear by speaking, after we are able to speak and understand
the language learned. We learn to read and then finally write.So, everything is
interconnected, how the ability to speak someone in a foreign language can be
related to their ability to write. They both are productive and active skill. Realize
it or not, it’s the same as through a bridge to get to the next destination, speaking
becomes a bridge in developing language skills. Not only that, but it also became
the basicfoundation in writing, we learned to compose sentences with correct
grammar, learn various kinds of vocabulary, and also put them in writing.
Writer also find in the oral approach that she learned that approach give
focus on the speaking that comprehension about the language, grammar,
vocabulary , and many more before they get into reading and writing. In fact, all
skills are related each other , so that is why those learners who are productive to
use a speaking skill with a lot of language inputs are better in developing their
other language skill, in this case, writing. Because they know how to play with
words on the paper such as what they have learnedin other skill. That is how the
22
researcher assumes that there is a correlation between speaking ability mastery
and writing achievement in language learning.
F. Hypothesis
Based on the theories that have been discusssed above, the writer assumed it
can be proposed that there is significant correlation between students’ speaking
and their writing achievement..

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses research methodology which consists of time and
place of study, research design, population and sample, research instrument,
technique of data collection, technique of data analysis and statistical hypotheses.
A. Time and Place of the Study
Thiscorrelational study was conducted inUniversity of SyarifHidayatullah Jakarta
academic year of 2018/2019. It is located in Jl.Ir. Haji Juanda at
Ciputat,Tanggerang Selatan. The research had been conducted in the fifth
semester since June 2018 until January 2019.
B. Research Design
The research design in this study was descriptive quantitative
usingcorrelational design. It was employed to find out and measure the
relationship between two variables covering speaking ability as an independent
variable and writing skill as a dependent variable by using correlational analysis.
Picture 3.1.
Relationship X to Y
Creswell said that a correlation is a statistical test to determine the tendency
or pattern for two or more variables or two set of data to vary constantly. In the
case of two variables, it means that two variables share common variance, or
theyco-vary together.1 Research design used to find out the correlation between
1

Speaking Writing
24
two variables and to see the influence of each other. In this case, this design was
employed to seek the relationship between students’ speaking ability and their
writing achievement at the fifth semester of Departement of English Education
Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta in academic year 2018/2019.
C. Population and Sample
The population of this study was fifth semester of Department of English
Education in UIN SyarifHidayatullah academic year of 2018/2019. They are
students from 5A, 5B and 5C. They are 85 students, altogether.However, only 30
students were taken as the samples of the study.Cohen asserted in taking big
amount of sample is better to present a better reliability and help more statistics to
be used.2 Those samples were determined by using a simple random sampling
technique.
D. Research Instrument
The instrument of the study was the documentation of speaking scores and
writing scores. Documents consist of public and private records that qualitative
researchers obtain about a site of participats in a study. It also said that They are
also ready for analysis without the necessary transcription that is required with
observational or interview data.3
E. Technique of Data Collection
Documentation
To collect the data, the researcher used an instrument. The instrument that the
researcher used was the documentation of speaking scores and writing scores that
were obtained from two different lecturers teaching those two courses (speaking
and writing). Besidecollecting the data of scores, the writer took a look at the
students’ test papers of both courses to see whether they were in line in terms of
Quantitative and Qualitative Research, (Boston: Pearson Education Inc., 2012), 4th ed., p. 338.
2 Louise Cohen, et al., Research Method in Education , (New York: Routledge, 2007), 6
th Ed,
p. 101.
3Creswell, op. cit., p. 223.
25
Learning Outcomes which had been expected to achieve according to the syllabus
of each course. In fact, both syllabuses concerned similar issues on describing,
narrative and argumentative texts. Finally, the documentation of two courses were
more valid since they were given by two different lecturers.
F. Technique of Data Analysis
In analyzing the data, the writer uses correlation product moment which
developed by Carl Pearson because the researcher wants to find out the influence
which is related to correlational study. “Correlation product moment is used to
show whether there is a correlation or relationship between X variable and Y
variable.” The symbol of the correlation product moment is “r”. Before the writer
get to know the correlation, she had to check the normality, the linearity before
taking the correlation product moment test at the end.
1. Linearity formula
Linearity test aims to determine whether the two variables significantly have
a linear relationship or not. This test is used as a prerequisite in the analysis of
correlation or linear regression. The formula is as follow:
a2= ∑p-Ф
a2= value of amax
∑p= sum value of data probability
Ф= value ofKolmogrov table
To find out the regression line, the variance analysis table (ANOVA) was used in
this study
2. Normality formula
Testing normality is used to check whether the population has normal
distribution or not. The formula is as follow:
Z= x - x.s
Z=standart score
x= student score
x = the mean score
26
s=standart deviation
After getting the value of amax, the value of normality table with
significance 5% is sought. After the value of normality table is found, it has to be
compared with the value of to find whether the data has a normal distribution or
not.
3. Finding the number of correlation using formula4
rxy =
𝐍 ∑ 𝐗𝐘−( ∑ 𝐗) (∑ 𝐘)√[𝐍 ∑ 𝐗𝟐−(∑ 𝐗)𝟐][𝐍 ∑ 𝐘𝟐−(∑ 𝐘)𝟐)]
N = Number of Participants
X = Students’ Speaking Scores
Y = Students’ WritingScores
∑X = The Sum Scores of Speaking Ability
∑Y = The Sum Scores of Writing Achievement
∑X2 = The Sum of the Squared Scores of Speaking
∑Y2 = The Sum of the Squared Scores of Writing
∑XY = The Sum of Multiplied Score between X and Y
This formula is used in finding index correlation "r" product moment between X
variable and Y variable (rxy).
4. Degree of Freedom Formula.
Before, the writer get to know the significance between two variable, To
determine the t table, degree of freedom (df) is required. To obtain the score of
degree of freedom, the following formula is used: 𝒅𝒇 = 𝒏 − 𝟐
df = degree of freedom
n= number of participants
5. Significance Formula
To know the significance between two variables, the formula of the
significance test is:5
4 Supardi ,Aplikasi Statistika dalam Penelitian (1
st Ed.), (Jakarta: Ufuk Press, 2012), p. 161.
5 Sugiyono, MetodePenelitianKuantitatif, Kualitatifdan R & D, (Bandung: Alfabeta, 2013),
27
Tcount= 𝐫 √𝐝𝐟√𝟏−𝐫𝟐
tcount = t value
r = value of correlation coefficient
df= degree of freedom
6. Pearson Correlation Value
In order to explain the indicator scores of “r” correlation, product moment
(rxy) usually used the interpretation such as bellow6:
Table 3.1
Table of ‘r’ Value Pearson Correlation
Value of “r” product moment Explanation
0.00 – 0.19 The correlation is very weak or no
correlation between x and y.
0.20 – 0.39 The correlation is low or weak between
x and y.
0.40 – 0.59 The correlation is medium between x
and y.
0.60 – 0.79 The correlation is strong between x and
y.
0.80 – 1.00 The correlation is perfect between x and
y.
7. Value of Determinant Coefficient
Then, to know how many percent of the contribution from the independent
(speaking) variables to dependent variable (writing) can be shown by using this
formula:
KP =r2 x 100%
p.187
6http://www.statstutor.ac.uk/resources/uploaded/pearsons.pdf, 2018.
28
KP = value of determinant coefficient
r = value of correlation coefficient
Before the writer use this formula , the score of ‘r’ correlation must be gotten
from the SPSS.
8. Statistical Hypothesis
There are two statistical hypotheses:
a. If ro is the same as or higher than rt, the Ha is accepted. There is a significant
relationship between Students’ Speaking Ability and Students’ Writing
Achievement (A Correlational Study of the 5th
Semester Students of
Departement of English Education at SyarifHidayatullah Islamic University
in in Academic Year 2018/2019).
b. If ro is lower than rt, the Ha is rejected. There is no significant relationship
between Students’ Speaking Ability and Students’ Writing Achievement ( A
Correlational Study of the 5th
Semester Students of Departement of English
Education at SyarifHidayatullah Islamic University in in Academic Year
2018/2019).

CHAPTER IV
RESEARCH FINDING AND DISCUSSIONS
This chapter discusses the research finding which consists of data description,
data analysis and discussion sections. The data description section describes the data
of the speaking ability and the writing achievement. The data analysis describes the
findings on Test of Linearity, Test of Normality, Analysis of Correlation Coefficient,
Test of Hypothesis, and Determination of Coefficient. Last, the chapter presents the
discussion of the findings.
A. Research Finding
1. Data Description
This research was conducted at the Department of English Education of Syarif
Hidayatullah State Islamic University in Jakarta. The participants of this research
were thirty (30) students of the fifth semester, classes 5A, 5B and 5C who had been
selected randomly by the writer as the sample. The writer took their Speaking III and
Writing II scores since the syllabuses of both courses mostly targeted similar
Learning Outcomes, for example to enable the students to produce descriptive texts
orally in Speaking and writtenly in Writing. Therefore, the documentation of
speaking and writing scores was chosen to be the technique of data collection. The
data of both scores are described in the sub-sections 1 and 2 of this chapter. Before
the data are described, the writer would like to show the scoring ranges used in the
Department of English Education. The score are characterized as follows:1
Table 4.1

(Jakarta: Biro Administrasi Akademik dan Kemahasiswaan UIN Jakarta, 2012), p.39.
30
An “A” is characterized as an excellent score. It is the highest score and the
students who obtained it, passed the test excellently. Then, “B” is characterized as a
good score. Next, “C” is characterized as a medium score, or the test takers passed
the test but it is recommended to retake the test or have remedial test. Then, “D” and
“E” scores are characterized as a bad score or the test takers failed to pass the test.
a. Speaking Ability
The table 4.2 below presents the speaking ability of the students shown by the
scores Speaking III Course.

The data in the table 4.2 shows that all of the students has passed the minimum
criterion of the speaking class which means that all of the students were good enough
at speaking. To be more specified, thirteen students obtained “A” which means
excellent, sixteen students obtained “B” which means good and only one students
obtained “C” which means medium or fair. To give a visualization of the data
distribution of speaking ability, the histogram of frequency distribution is presented
in figure 4.1 as follows:

The data in the table 4.3 indicates that there were 30 students’ speaking ability
scores collected. The Mean of the students’ speaking ability score was 77.33 which
was interpreted as the average score obtained by the students. The Median or the
middle score of speaking ability was 77.50.
Then, the Mode of the students’ speaking ability score which was interpreted
as the score that appears the most was 80.00. It means that most of the students
obtained 80.00 in the speaking class. In addition, the highest score of the speaking
ability score was 84.00, whereas, the lowest score was 68.00. Therefore, the range
score between the highest and the lowest score was 16.00. Lastly, the standard
deviation of the speaking ability was 4.29 which means the range between the scores
to the average score was low.
b. Writing Achievement

The data in the table 4.4 shows that all of the students has passed the
minimum criterion of the writing class which means that all of the students were good
enough at writing. To be more specified, fourteen students obtained “A” which means
excellent, fifteen students obtained “B” which means good and only one students
obtained “C” which means medium or fair.
To provide an additional vivid visual of the data distribution of writing
achievement, the histogram of frequency distribution is presented in figure 4.2 as

The data in the table 4.5 indicates that there were 30 students’ writing scores.
The Mean of the students’ speaking ability score was 77.93 which was interpreted as
the average score obtained by the students. The Median or the middle score of
speaking ability was 78.00. Then, the Mode of the students’ speaking ability score
which was interpreted as the score that appears the most was 82.00. It means that
most of students obtained 82.00 in the speaking. In addition, the highest score of the
speaking ability score was 87.00, whereas, the lowest score was 67.00. Therefore, the
range score between the highest and the lowest score was 20.00. Lastly, the standard
deviation of the speaking abilitywas 4.64 which meansthe range between the scores to
the average score was low.
2. Data Analysis
a. Test of Linearity
The linearity of students’ speaking ability and writing achievement data is
analyzed using SPSS software and presented using ANOVA Table.

b. Test of Normality
The normality test was conducted using SPSS software. It is done in order to
know whether the populations from which the samples are taken are normally
distributed or not. It is important because normal data is an underlying assumption in
parametric testing. The result of normality test is presented as follows:

a. Lilliefors Significance Correction
Refering to the data in the table 4.7 above, both students’ speaking ability and
writing achievement are normally distributed because the values of both scoresare
higher than value of 5% or 0.05. The test of normality was analyzed using Shipiro –
Wilk. The test result showed that the significancevalue of students’ speaking ability is
0.225, in which 0.225 > 0.05. Moreover, the significancevalue of students’ writing
achievement was 0.619, in which 0.619 > 0.05. Since the data distribution is normal
and linear, the statistical analysis also uses parametric procedure, which is Product
Moment Correlation.
c. Analysis of Correlation Coefficient
This part explains the calculation before using SPSS to get a faster result. This
table also demonstrates the manual calculation of using Pearson Correlation Formula
38
to get a double check in finding the correlation coefficient. The data is described as
follows:

Refering to the data in the table 4.8, it shows that there are 39 participants, the
sum of the speaking ability score (X) is 2108, the sum of writing achievement (Y) is
3427, the multiplication between X and Y is 185584, the variable X squared is
118512, and the variable Y squared is 304021.
39
After getting the results from the table 4.8, the calculation of the data to Pearson
Product Moment Formula is presented as follows:
N = 30
∑X = 2320
∑Y = 2338
∑X2 = 181166
∑Y2 = 179948
∑XY =182834
rxy = …?
rxy =
N ∑ XY−( ∑ X) (∑ Y)√[N ∑ X2−(∑ X)2][N ∑ Y2−(∑ Y)2)]
rxy =
30(181166)−( 2320)(2338)√[30(179948)−(2320)2][30(182834)−(2338)2]
rxy = 0,623
To make sure the result of the calculation above, the Pearson Product Moment in
SPSS statistic calculation is conducted to know whether the calculation that has been
calculated manually is correct or not to make sure that there is no mismatching
calculation between score that the writer counted. The calculation of Pearson Product
Moment is described as follows:
Table 4.9

40
Both of the calculations above show the outcome of Pearson Product Moment
Correlation Coefficient, using manual calculation and SPSS software. It shows
thatthe value of coefficient correlation of the independent variable (speaking) and the
dependent variable (writing) is 0.623.Since in this research the writer prefers to use n
which is the number of sample, the rxy is converted to t using the following formula: 𝑡 = 𝑟√𝑛 − 2√1 − 𝑟2
𝑡 = 0.623√30 − 2√1 − 0.6232
𝑡 = 3.2960.782 𝑡 = 4.215
From the calculation above, t obtained (to) is 4.215.
d. Test of Hypothesis
To test the hypothesis, the correlation coefficient from the calculation (rxy) which
is converted to t obtained (to) is compared to t table (tt). In the term of the statistical
hypotheses, these can be portrayed as follows:
1. If to ≤ tt = Hois accepted. It means there is no correlation between students’
English speaking ability and writing achievement.
2. If to > tt = Hois rejected. It means there isa correlation between students’ English
speaking ability and writing achievement.
To determine the t table, degree of freedom (df) is required. To obtain the score of
degree of freedom, the following formula is used: 𝑑𝑓 = 𝑛 − 2 𝑑𝑓 = 30 − 2 𝑑𝑓 = 28
41
After the degree of freedom is determined. It is found that the value of t table (tt)
using the level of significance or α = 5%, in other words the corresponding
confidence level of 95%, is 1.701. Based on the both value of t obtained (to) = 4.215
and the t table (tt) = 1.701, the hypothesis is analyzed that the value of t obtained is
higher than t table (to >tt,or 4.215 > 1.701). It is interpreted that Ho is rejected which
means that there is a correlation between students’ English speaking ability and
writing achievement.
e. Determination of Coefficient
Coefficient determination is interpreted as the amount of contribution of the
variable x to variable y. It is obtained by the following formula: 𝑅 = 𝑟2𝑥100% 𝑅 = 0.6232𝑥100% 𝑅 = 0.39𝑥100% 𝑅 = 39%
This means that the contribution of X or students’ speaking ability is 39%
towards Y or students’ writing achievement. The other contributions are given by
other variables.
B. Discussion
Based on the data description above, it is found that the students’ speaking
ability of the fifth students of English Education of Syarif Hidayatullahis averagely
fairly good. It is indicated by the average score (Mean) of students’ speaking ability
that is 77.33. The students’ writing achievement in average is fairly good as well. The
mean score of students’ writing achievement is 77.93. It is slightly better than the
score of students’ speaking ability. Meanwhile, based on the calculation of the
42
analysis above, the score of correlation coefficient (r) which was converted to to is
higher than score in the t table (tt). In this case, the correlation coefficient (t ) found is
4.215; while the t table (tt) score in the significant of 0.05 (5%) is 1.701. Therefore,
the to= 4.215 > tt = 1.701. It is interpreted that a correlation exists between the two
variables. In other words, there is significant relationship between students’ speaking
ability and writing achievement at the fifth semester of English Education in
academic year 2018/2019.
Moreover, based on the calculation of determination coefficient (R), speaking
ability has 39% contribution towards writing achievement of the fifth semester of
English Education in academic year 2018/2019. In other words, the writing
achievement ability of the students of the fifth semester of English Education
academic year of 2018/2019 is influenced by 39% of their speaking ability and 61%
by other factors.Besides, it can also be interpreted with the table of r score
interpretation as follows:
Table 4.10
Table ‘r’ of Value Coefficient Correlation
No The “r” score Interpretation
1. 0.80 - 1.00 Very High
2. 0.60 – 0.79 High
3. 0.40 – 0.39 Moderate
4. 0.20 – 0.39 Low
5. 0.00 – 0.19 Very Low
Based on Table 4.10, the score of correlation resulted in this study is 0.623. It
places in the range of 0.60 - 0.79. It indicates that there is high relationship between
two variables (students’ speaking ability and writing achievement). Therefore, it can
be interpreted that students’ speaking abilityhas high correlation with their writing
achievement.
43
This study is far from a perfection, so there are few limitations in this study. The
first, the source of this study is kind of hard to find, it start from the previous study
who are only limited people who have done the same research. Second obstacle came
from the literature that is hard to access on the internet since there are only legitimate
people who can access the theory for this study.

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
This chapter presents the conclusion of the study. In addition,several
suggestionsare given for English language lecturers, English language students
and further researchers.
A. Conclusion
Based on the findings of the research in the previous chapter, it can be concluded
thatthere was a significant correlation between speaking ability and writing
achievement of the fifth semester students of Department of English Education at
Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University of Jakarta in academic year
2018/2019. The contribution from speaking to writing was 39%. The value of
correlation between those variables was 0.623 with 0.01 significance level. The
finding was also supported by the data and the picture of a scattred diagram where
the dots were getting close to the line which showed that the correlation between
those two variables existed.From SPSS Statistics program, the outcome showed
that the correlation between the variables was high.Then, the correlation
coefficient (t) found was 4.215; while the t table (tt) score in the significance of
0.05 was 1.701. Therefore, the to> tt or 4.215> 1.701. It means that Ha is accepted.
In other words, it confirmed that there is a high relationship between speaking
ability and writing achievement of the fifth semester studentsof theDepartment of
English Education at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University of Jakarta in
academic year 2018/2019.
B. Suggestions
Based on the conclusion above, the writer would like to give some suggestions as
follows:
1. For English Language Lecturers
The findings of this study has proved that there is a high correlation between
speaking ability and writing achievement. Therefore, the lecturers of Speaking
and Writing can sit together to design the syllabuses for both speaking and writing
45
courses to make them inter-related in terms of the learning activities to achieve the
targeted learning outcomes.
2. For English Language Students
Based on the research result, speaking skill gives contributions towards writing
one.Students learning English can improve themselves in their spoken language
skill so they can at the same time improve the writing skill.
3. For Further Researchers:
Further researchers can make use the research methodology of this skripsi to
conduct similar studies but correlating different language skills other than
speaking and writing.Further researchers can also conduct studies on speaking and
writing, but using other research designs, for example experimental
design.Finally, the result of this study can be a reference for the next researchers
to conduct studies in the area of English language teaching and learning.

Teaching and
Learning Approach
: The writing skill will be delivered in tandem; it will be
integrated with other skills and sub-skills in each meeting
with the purpose of maximizing the teaching and learning
process. The students will also be exposed with varied
reading discourse that will train their critical thinking. The
students are also required to show their active participation
in the classroom and act as independent learners. This
means that the learning does not only occur inside, but also
outside the classroom; the lecturer will assist the students in
realizing this by providing practice and appropriate
materials and guiding the discussion. The subject will be
delivered through lecturing, practice, problem-solving, and
discussion modes.
