Abstract

This study sought to describe and determine the correlation between students’ reading habits and their vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at a private high school in North Sulawesi. The research design was descriptive-correlative method using Mean score and Pearson-product moment correlation coefficient. There were 92 respondents who participated in this study. The instruments were 23 items questionnaire on reading habits and 39 objective questions of vocabulary test. The findings of this research were: (a) the type of reading most frequently read was the Bible, and there was a relatively small number of students who are interested in reading; (b) the level of students’ reading habits was moderate; (c) the level of students’ vocabulary mastery was low; (d) there was no significant correlation between students’ reading habits and their vocabulary mastery (p=0.093, r=0.176). This study recommends that: (a) the other types of books should be read, and the reading interest increased; (b) the moderate level of reading habits should be kept up and even improved; (c) the other factors for improving vocabulary mastery should be identified.

Abstract

This study aimed to figure out the level of students’ reading strategies use and the level of the students’ reading comprehension. This study was also to figure out the correlation between students’ reading strategy use and their reading comprehension. This study employed a quantitative, descriptive design to determine the levels of both variables and a correlational design to examine the correlation between them. The instrument of this study was adapted from Mokhtari and Sheorey (2002) for the survey of reading strategies and the reading comprehension section in the TOEFL Junior Standard Test to measure students’ reading comprehension. This study was conducted on 45 students of the XI grade of one of the high schools in North Sulawesi. The result showed that the students' reading strategies were in the medium level (M=3.48) and their reading comprehension was at the very least level (M=51.11). Finally, it was found that there was a significant correlation between students’ reading strategies use and their reading comprehension, as the result showed p=.022 < 0.05, r=.342. Thus, it is important for the students to be aware of the importance of reading strategies and apply these strategies to have better reading comprehension.
