ABSTRACT

Ristiyanti, Resha, 2013. “The Correlation between the Reading Comprehension

and the Translation Ability of the Eleventh Grade Students of SMA 1

Bae Kudus in the Academic Year 2013/2014”. Skripsi. English

Education Department of Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (1)

Mutohhar, S.Pd, M.Pd (2) Dra. Sri Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd

Key word: correlation, reading comprehension, translation ability.

Reading is very important, because by reading the readers can understand

what the text tells about. The students need to read the text first before they start

translating the text. Translation also important, because translation is ultimately a

human activity which enables human beings to exchange ideas and thoughts

regardless of the different language used. The concrete problem between reading

and translating that often happens can be seen in in the teaching and learning

process. When the students do not read the text better, they will get difficulties in

translating. The objective of this research to find out whether there is a significant

correlation between the reading comprehension and the translation ability of the

eleventh grade students of English Education Department of Muria Kudus

University in the academic year 2014/2013.

This method used in this research is correlation research. Variable X is the

reading comprehension and variable Y is the translation ability. The population is

the science program of the eleventh grade students of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the

academic year 2013/2014 and the sample is XI Science-3 class. The writer gave

two test. The first is test to know the reading comprehension t, and the second is

test to know the translation ability. Then, the data are analyzed by using Pearson

Correlation Product Moment Formula to know the correlation between the reading

comprehension and the translation ability.

The result of the research shows that there is a significant correlation

between the reading comprehension and the translation ability of the eleventh

grade students of SMA 1 Bae Kudus in the academic year 2013/2014. It based on

the result of the calculation which has explained in Appendix 15 that rxy is 0.403.

It is category low correlation.

Based on the result above, the writer would like to give suggestion as; (1)

the students should read many kinds of texts and try to understand and find the

main ideas or information of the texts. (2) The English teacher should employ

more various strategies that allow the students to understand the texts more easily

without translating.

ABSTRAKSI

Ristiyanti, Resha, 2013. Hubungan antara Pemahaman Membaca dan

Kemampuan menerjemah pada Siswa Kelas Sebelas SMA 1 Bae Kudus

Tahun Akademik 2012/2013. Skripsi. Program Studi Pendidikan

Bahasa Inggris. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas

Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Mutohhar, S.Pd, M.Pd (2) Dra. Sri

Endang Kusmaryati, M.Pd

Kata kunci: korelasi, pemahaman membaca, kemampuan menerjemah.

Membaca merupakan hal yang sangat penting, karena dengan membaca,

pembaca akan paham dengan isi dari suatu teks. Siswa butuh membaca teks

terlebih dahulu sebelum mereka menerjemahkan teks. Terjemahan juga sangat

penting, karena terjemahan adalah kegiatan yang memungkinkan manusia untuk

bertukar pikiran tanpa perlu terganggu dengan bahasa apa yang digunakan.

Masalah konkrit antara membaca dan menerjemah dapat diketahui dari proses

kegiatan belajar mengajar. Ketika siswa tidak membaca teks dengan baik, mereka

akan mendapat kesulitan dalam menerjemahkan teks.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ada hubungan

antara pemahaman membaca dan kemampuan menerjemah pada siswa kelas XI

SMA 1 Bae Kudus tahun akademik 2013/2014.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian korelasi. .

Variabel X adalah pemahaman membaca, dan variabel Y kemampuan

menerjemah. Populasinya adalah kelas XI program IPA SMA 1 Bae Kudus, dan

sampelnya adalah kelas XI IPA-3. Penulis memberikan 2 test. Yang pertama

adalah tes untuk mengetahui pemahaman membaca, dan yang kedua adalah tes

untuk mengetahui kemampuan menerjemah. Kemudian, data dianalisis dengan

menggunakan Korelasi Pearson Product Moment untuk mengetahui hubungan

antara pemahaman membaca dan kemampuan menerjemah.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwaaada hubungan yang significan antara

pemahaman membaca dan kemampuan menerjemah pada siswa kelas sebelas

SMA 1 Bae Kudus tahun academic 2013/2014. Ini berdasarkan hasil perhitungan

yang telah dijelaskan dalam Lampiran 15 yang diperoleh rxy adalah 0.403. hal ini

dikategorikan kedalam korelasi yang rendah.

Berdasarkan hasil diatas, penulis memberikan saran sebagai berikut: (1)

siswa harus membaca berbagai jenis teks untuk mengembangkan pemahaman

membaca mereka. (2) guru bahasa inggris harus menggunakan banyak strategi

supaya memperkenankan siswa untuk memahami teks lebih mudah tanpa

menerjemahkan.
