Abstract

This study is aimed to investigate the correlation between students' reading
frequency and their reading ability. It is assumed that there is a positive correlation
between students' reading frequency and their reading ability. The population of the
study is sixth semester students of English Department of UPI Bandung class of
2005. The sample observed was 30 students.
The study used descriptive method with ex post defacto design. Itwas used to
describe and investigate the existence of correlation between two different variables.
Here the writer looked at the degree of relationship rather than at cause-and-effect
relationship. Samples were asked to answer reading comprehension test and
questionnaire.
From the analysis, it was found that the distibution of the data from
questionnaire and reading test are different each other in terms ofnormality. One of
them is not normal, thus the writer analyzes further by using Spearman rank-order
correlation rather than Pearson Product Moment correlation formula. The result
shows that there is a high relationship between the ranks of students' reading
frequency and their reading ability. And also since rs counted is greater than rs table so
the writer can accept the alternative hypothesis. Here, the writer may say that there is
a significant correlation between the two variables.
