The result of this research are as follows, the average score of students’
mastery of past tense is 59.9. The average of students’ achievement in writing past
recount text is 64.41. The final result of correlation coeficient (rxy) was 0.347 and the
critical value from the formula of degree of freedom 1% is 0,403 and 5% is 0.312 it
means that the result obtained from the computation is greater than its critical
value.Based on the finding, the table of “r” product moment show that the correlation
value is on the “low” size, in which between 0.20-0.399. It meant, there is low
correlation between students’ mastery of pas tense and writing past recount
text.Moreover, based on the calculation of determination coefficient (KP) obtained,
mastery of past tense has12.04% constribution towards writing past recount text at

Metode penelitian ini adalah studi korelasi. Populasi penelitian ini adalah
siswa kelas sebelas SMA N 1 Kotawaringin Lama dan menerapkan teknik random
sampling dengan jumlah sample sebanyak 40 siswa. Intstrumen yang digunakan
untuk mengumpulkan data adalah dengan tes, Tes Past Tense yang menggunakan
multiple choice dan Tes Writing. Data penelitian dianalisis dengan menggunakan
Pearson Product Moment. Formula digunakan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara
penguasaan sisws terhadap past tense dan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis past
recount text.
Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah sebagai berikut, nilai rata-rata penguasaan
siswa terhadap past tense dalah 59.9. Nilai rata-rata kemampuan siswa terhadap
writing past recount text adalah 64.41. Hasil akhir dari perhitungan korelasi koefisien
(rxy)adalah 0,347dan critical value dari formula degree of freedom adalah 1%
0,403dan 5% 0.312 itu berarti hasil yang diperoleh dari dari perhitungan adalah lebih
besar dati critical value. Berdasarkan dari hasilnya, tbel “r” product mmoment
menunjukkan korelasi value ada pada ukuran “lemah”, yang mana antara 0.20-0.399.
yang artinya ada hubungan yang lemah antara penguasaan siswa terhadap past tense
dan menulis past recount text. Selain itu, berdasarkan hasil perhitungan dari
determinasi koefisien (KP) yang diperoleh, penguasaan terhapa past tense
berkonstribusi 12.04% terhadap menulis past recount text pada kelas sebelas di SMA

hubungan antara penguasaan siswa terhadap past tense dan kempuan siswa dalam
menulis past recount text.

disarankan mengubah cara mengajar terutama dalam mengajar menulis bahasa
Inggris. Tidak hanya mengajarkan ilmu menulis tapi juga diharuskan meningkaatkan
kemampuan tata bahasa. Untuk peneliti, penelitian ini juga relevan denganpenelitian
sebelumnya yang dapat digunakan oleh peneliti yang lain untuk melakukanpenelitian
lebih lanjut yang berhubungan dengan korelasi antara keterampilan bahasa dan
komponen bahasa. Penelitianini juga bisa menjadi sumber inspirasi untuk peneliti
selanjutnya untuk meningkatkan kelemahan dan memilih instrumen lainnya,
perluasan dan evaluasi.
