Dony Prasetyo M. 113221079. THE CORRELATION BETWEEN TRANSLATION
ABILITY AND READING HABIT TOWARD WRITING ABILITY (A Correlation
Study to the Twelfth Grade Students MAN 2 Surakarta in the Academic Year
2015/2016). Thesis. English Education Program. Tarbiyah and Teacher Training
Faculty. IAIN Surakarta.

The thesis is aimed to find out the correlation beetwen (1) translation
ability and writing ability; (2) reading habit and writing ability; (3) translation
ability and reading habit toward writing ability.
This study is a correlation study. There are three variables in this study,
students’ translation ability as the independent variable (X ), reading habit as the

independent variable (X ) and Writing ability as dependent variable (Y). The
2
study conducted at MAN 2 Surakarta. The population of the study was the twelfth
grade students of MAN 2 Surakarta in the academic year 2015/2016. The sample
of this study is 25 students from XII IPA 3 class. The sampling technique used is
cluster random sampling. The researcher used test to obtain the data of students’
translation ability, then questionnaire to obtain the data of students’ reading habit
level and test to obtain the data of students’ writing ability. The researcher used
Product Moment formula to know the coefficient correlation and linear regression
to find out the significance correlation between students’ translation ability (X )
1
reading habit (X ) and their writing ability (Y).
2
There three results of the study, fist hypothesis, showed that the coefficient
of correlation between students’ translation ability (X ) and their writing ability
1
(Y) is higher than 0 (0.9083>0) and linear regression showed that t is higher
obtain
than t (10.415 > 2.069). The researcher concluded that there is significant
table
positive correlation between translation ability and writing ability among the
twelfth grade students of MAN 2 Surakarta in the academic year of 2015/2016.
Second hypothesis, showed that the coefficient of correlation between students’
ix
reading habit (X ) and their writing ability (Y) is higher than 0 (0.6939>0) and
2
linear regression showed that t is higher than t (4.621 > 2.069). The
obtain table
researcher concluded that there is significant positive correlation between
students’ reading habit and writing ability among the twelfth grade students of
MAN 2 Surakarta in the academic year of 2015/2016. Futhermore, the third
hypothesis showed that the coefficient of correlation (r between students’
yx1x2)
translation ability (X ) reading habit (X ) and their writing ability (Y) is higher
1 2
than 0 (0.8304>0) and linear regression showed that t is higher than t
obtain table
(24.443 > 3.44). The researcher concluded that there is significant positive
