| dc.description.abstract | Vocabulary plays a vital role in any primary skills of the English language for
students like; listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Mastering the vocabulary means
students know more the vocabulary not just only the meaning of the word, but the usage
of it in a sentence. Besides, listening is the first things that commonly appears when
learning any language. Listening skill is basic skill that must learned by students in
learning English as foreign language in Indonesia. The goals of the research were to
know that are (1) the vocabulary mastery level of EED of UMY students, (2) the
category of EED of UMY students’ listening skill, and (3) the correlation between
students’ vocabulary mastery and students listening ability. The data were collected
from 70 students of EED of UMY batch 2016. This research used VLT test by Meara
1992 which the test was standardized. Total sample (N) was 70, the Pearson correlation
value is 0.465, and the significance value is 0.000. Cohen et al (2011) stated that
“coefficient statistics are statistically significantly correlated at the ρ < 0.05 levels” (p.
345). The finding above shows that significant value (ρ-value) of this research was
0.000 which is lower than 0.05. It means that there is a positive and significant
correlation between students’ vocabulary mastery and their listening skills. Based on
Sugiono’s (2011) criteria of correlation level 0.410 was on moderate level (0.40-0.599).
There is a positive correlation between vocabulary mastery and listening skills. The
correlation degree is moderate. The point is vocabulary increase, so there listening skills
also increase. | en_US |
