The sample of this study was 73 second-semester students in English Education at the University of Borneo Tarakan. The findings in this study are that in the habit of singing English songs, almost all respondents have good grades, with a percentage of 59.7%. In listening comprehension using scores from the Literal Listening course, 38 students got an AB grade, 27 students got an A grade, 7 students got a B grade, and 1 student got a BC grade. The results of the habit of singing English songs and listening comprehension data are used in the normality and linearity tests. The results are normal and linear data, and correlation calculations use Pearson Product Moment with SPSS 22. The results of analyses using SPSS 22 are significant values 0.665 > 0.05, meaning H0 is accepted. It can be concluded that the correlation coefficient between the habit of singing English songs and students' listening comprehension is very weak. Then in the table value "r" for N = 73 is 0.2213 for a significance degree of 5% where rxy r table. So it can be concluded that there is no relationship between the habit of singing English songs and listening comprehension in the second-semester students of the Department of English Education, University of Borneo Tarakan

Abstract This objective of this research was to measure the correlation between vocabulary mastery and speaking ability at the eighth grade students of MTs DDI (Madrasah Tsanawiyah Darud Da’wah Wal-Irsyad) Tarakan. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. All of the eighth grade students from class A (39 students) and B (21 students) were taken as the sample. The data were taken by using vocabulary test, speaking test, and interview. The data were then analyzed by using Pearson Product Moment correlation. The result of analysis showed that rtest was 0.563 which was higher than the rtable 0.254. The correlation coefficient 0.563 was classified into a medium correlation. There was a sufficient evidence to suggest that the alternative hypothesis was accepted which meant that there was a positive and significant correlation between students’ vocabulary mastery and their speaking ability. This result was supported with the interview which showed that the students who had self-confidence, interest, motivation tended to have much range of vocabulary and could perform speaking better. Keywords: Correlation, Vocabulary Mastery, Speaking Ability
