Abstract

The aim of this study was to find out whether there is correlation between students’ mastering of idiomatic expression and their achievement in reading comprehension. The kind of this study was quantitative research. Therefore the methodology of this study was correlational study. The population of this research was the Second Grade of MA LAB UIN-SU Medan and it was 108 students. The sample in this research is taken through simple random sampling technique and 36 students took as the sample. In collecting data, the writer used test as the instrument. The students were asked to answer the questions of two tests; those were idiom test and reading comprehension test. Therefore, the data were in the form of students’ scores of both tests. Since the study was correlational study, the data were computed statistically by using Pearson Product Moment. The result of coefficient correlation (ro) was 0.699. Then, the result of ‘ro’ was compared with r table, in which the value of r table was 0.329 of significance 5%. In addition, to know the meaning of correlation between variable X (idiomatic expression) and variable Y (reading comprehension) was obtained the result of ‘to’ was 5.71 and the value of t table in significance 5 % was 2.02 by degree of freedom (df) 34. Because ‘ro’ was higher than r-table, and ‘to’ was also higher than t-table; therefore the correlation was positive and medium correlation. These mean the alternative hypothesis was accepted and null hypothesis was rejected. Since those results were computed, it indicated that idiom has medium contribution to reading comprehension. Therefore, there was significant correlation between students’ mastering of idiomatic expression and their achievement in reading comprehension.
