THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STRUCTURE AND TRANSLATION ACHIEVEMENT OF THE 1999 LEVEL STUDENTS OF ABA BHAKTI PERTIWI JEMBER

Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate whether there is a significant correlation between Structure and Translation achievement of the 1999 level students of ABA Bhakti Pertiwi Jember. The population of this research was all the 1999 level students of ABA Bhakti Pertiwi Jember. As the number of the subjects in the population was small (15 students), all of them were taken as respondents. The data for this research was the students' scores on Structure l, II and Translation I. The scores were collected by documentation. The collected data were analyzed by using Spearman's rank order formula. Considering the effectiveness of the time, the data analysis was done by operating computer with SPSS 10.0 for windows program. The hypothesis of this research was that there is a significant correlation between Structure and Translation achievement of the 1999 level students of ABA Bhakti Pertiwi Jember. From the data analysis and interpretation, it was found that r-statistic is higher than r-table (0,799 > 0,514) which means there is a significant correlation between Structure and Translation achievement of the 1999 level students of ABA Bhakti Pertiwi Jember. From this finding it is suggested that the lecturer of ABA Bhakti Pertiwi Jember should develop the teaching of Structure and Translation. The students should study hard to master Structure because it will help them do Translation well. For the other researchers, the finding can be used as an input to conduct the other research dealing with Structure and Translation in different design, such as experimental or descriptive research.
