1. Background
In Indonesia, English is the first foreign language and it has been taught to the
students from the first year of secondary school up to university. Also, English
language is more difficult to learn as a second language, because the students can not
acquire the language from social environment especially in Indonesia. They can not
communicate even when they want to speak English, they must find appropriate word
first.
It is different in the countries that use English as a second language.
According to Beck and McKeown (1991:482), five to six years old have a working
vocabulary of 2,500 to 5,000 words. It means that before the learners have a school in
order to get more knowledge including vocabulary, the learners have a habit that
force them to have vocabulary such as speak and listen each other. but, this habit will
be influenced by the environment during a learning process in the school. The
influence will appear whether a child is near the bottom or the top of that range
depends upon their literacy skills coming into the first grade (White, Graves and
Slater, 1990:281). It explains us that even the learners had a little bit vocabulary in
child years, all of them can not evolve if they do not get a good influence when they
are in the first grade.
Most students in Indonesia still also do not have the ability to speak English,
although they have graduated from senior high school. The students can not do that
because they lack of vocabulary. Vocabulary is one of English components or sub
skill that must be taught to the learners, because vocabulary has the primary role for
all languages. No matter how well the student learns grammar, no matter how
successfully the sounds of second language just can not happen in any meaningful
way (Schmitt and McCarthy, 2000:140). It is clear that English can only be
1
understood when students have vocabulary. No matter how clever the students in
grammar, if they are lack in vocabulary, the students still can not master English itself
that makes the students can not communicate using English well. The statement also
tells us that one of the language components, which are very important in
communication, is vocabulary.
Realizing the importance of vocabulary in language learning, Education and
Culture Department (1994:33) states that the purpose of teaching vocabulary is to
give the students knowledge concerning the meaning and the usage of word in
sentence pattern they have already studied. It means that in order to make the students
can communicate using English well, the teaching of vocabulary must be
accompanied with knowing the meaning of words itself. Also, the class of words
must be known in order to make easier in using it in the sentences with the correct
grammar that they learn before or after they learn about the vocabulary. After these
elements can be mastered by students, as a matter of fact it will be easier for them in
communicating using English.
Moreover, Langan (1988:22) states that a good vocabulary is an oral part of
effective communication, a command of many words will make you better in writing,
speaking, listening, and reading. It is clear that vocabulary plays an important role for
the students to use English for communication. It also tells us that vocabulary
influences a student’s language skill including listening skill.
Listening skill refers to the skill to understand the oral language. The skill to
understand the spoken language becomes very important for listening to the radio,
understanding foreign visitors, studying, etc. To develop this study, students need
plenty of practice in listening to English spoken at normal speed. Agustina (1998:3)
states that the learners can not study any other language skills without listening first.
For example a child can speak a word after listening to the word several times. A
child begins to use language by learning the spoken form. In other words, they learn
by listening, understanding repetition.
2
Forming habit of listening can improve our pronunciation, sharpen our
memory, enlarge vocabulary, and develop speaking ability. Even though the students
can use English for communication by studying English, someone who does not
study English can make language learning effective through imitation in listening.
For example, in certain places, the person does not need to study English formally,
he/she just needs to learn by listening to tourist.
Logically, there is a significant correlation between vocabulary mastery and
listening ability. According to Wise (2007:50), expressive vocabulary knowledge and
listening comprehension skills were found to be independently related to word
identification abilities. It means that there is a linkage between vocabulary mastery
and listening ability in order to know the word in its usage, meaning and class. It can
be noticed when people are listening to an English song, they can absolutely
understand about the words said by the singer if they have a good skill of vocabulary
mastery.
Based on the background above, the writer will observe the correlation
between vocabulary mastery and listening achievement. The title of his research is as
follow: “The Correlation Between Vocabulary Mastery and Listening Achievement at
the Tenth Grade Students of SMA N 1 Rantau Panjang in Academic Year
2013/2014.”

5. Hypotheses
The writer proposes two hypotheses in this research, they are: Null hypothesis
(Ho) and Alternative hypothesis (Ha) as stated below:
(Ho) : There is no significant correlation between vocabulary mastery and
listening achievement at the tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Rantau
Panjang in academic year 2013/2014.
(Ha) : There is a significant correlation between vocabulary mastery and
listening achievement at the tenth grade students of SMA N 1 Rantau
Panjang in academic year 2013/2014.
6. Literature Review
This part presents: (1) the concept of the vocabulary, (2) the importance of
vocabulary, (3) categories of vocabulary, (4) the concept of listening, (5) the
importance of listening, (6) the correlation between listening and vocabulary, and (7)
related previous study.

6.1 Concept of Vocabulary
In mastering English, vocabulary becomes an important thing. Jackson and
Amvela (2000:180) state that the vocabulary of a language is essentially dynamic and
well-integrated system of lexemes structure by relationship of meaning. It is clear that
vocabulary may help students to communicate using English easier because
vocabulary is directly integrated with the meaning of the word and the usage of the
word in the sentences can be understood because the class of word itself is known.
Vocabulary is also one of the linguistic aspects of language. It means that
vocabulary plays a very important role in learning a foreign language because it
would facilitate students in production stage of the language learning, e.g. reading
comprehension. Al Kufaisi (1998:42) states that vocabulary is a vehicle of thought
self expression, interpretation, and communication. It can be said that the students
should posses a large number of vocabulary items to succeed in educational,
intellectual, and professional fields.
In addition, White, Graves and Slater (1990:281) state that the influence of
mastering vocabulary will appear whether a child is near the bottom or the top of that
range depends upon their literacy skills coming into the first grade. It gives the
information that the level of students’ vocabulary mastery will not evolve without the
existing of learning process that can help the students in mastering vocabulary. Also,
the students with large vocabulary mastery will become well in listening, speaking,
reading, and writing. In other words, vocabulary is one of the crucial factors that
language teacher needs to pay attention.
As a whole, it can be concluded that vocabulary is one of the important part
in mastering English. English can not be learned without having a great
understanding of vocabulary. On the contrary, English will be easier to learn when
the students have a great vocabulary.
5
6.2 The Importance of Vocabulary
Vocabulary is one of English components or sub-skill that must be taught to
the learners, because vocabulary has the primary role for all languages. No matter
how well the student learns grammar, no matter how successfully the sounds of
second language just can not happen in any meaningful way (Schmitt and McCarthy,
2000:140). This statement shows us how important vocabulary in communication. It
is not only for English, but also for the other languages all over the world.
Communication happens if the speaker and listener understand what they tell and
they hear. In order to get meaningful communication, the knowledge about the
meaning of the word must be mastered and before master in the meaning of the word
itself, the vocabulary knowledge will be the first ability that must be mastered. The
knowledge of it is also really useful in helping students to master the four language
skills in order to reach the communicative competence.
According to Langan (1988:22) states that a good vocabulary is an oral part
of effective communication, a command of many words will make you better in
writing, speaking, listening, and reading. It means that mastery of vocabulary is
crucial to language literacy. Without knowing the words, the reader or listener will
have some difficulties. Without having good vocabulary, it is hard for students to
communicate their ideas. And without mastering vocabulary, the students will get
problems to write their written text.
Vocabulary plays important rules for the students in mastering the four
language skills. Studies have shown that students with the strong vocabulary mastery
and students who work to improve their limited vocabularies are more successful at
school (Langan, 1988:371). It means that the students very need vocabulary learning
in order to make them easier when the teacher gives a task, examination and also
communicate with their teacher by using English correctly. This case absolutely can
help the students to interact each other in communication.
6
From the views above, it can be concluded that vocabulary mastery is
essential in helping somebody to learn the four language skills better, and it is also an
essential factor in creating an effective communication in the target language.
7
6.4 Concept of Listening
In the process of learning as a foreign language the students are taught the
four skills. One of the skills is listening. Listening is an interactive process. This
refers to the process of receiving sound waves through the ear and transmitting to the
brain. According to Brown (1992:235), the first step of listening comprehension is the
psychomotor process of receiving sound waves through the ear and transmitting to
the brain. Listening is also a skill that makes people understand about what the other
people say. As stated by Saleh (1993:33), that listening is a receptive skill in
understanding the spoken language. In line with this, Morley (1984:7) says that
listening refers to the ability to understand how particular sentence relates to what
else has been said and its function in the communication. At this stage, the listener
selects what is relevant to his/her purpose and rejects what is irrelevant.
In addition, Rost (1991:3-4), states that when people listen to spoken
language, they do some component skills in listening, such as; discriminating
between sounds, recognizing words, identifying grammatical grouping of words, and
pragmatic units expressions and set of utterances which function as whole units to
create meaning, connecting, linguistic cues to para linguistic cues (intonation and
stress) and to non-linguistic cues (gesture and relevant object in the situation) in order
to construct meaning, using, background knowledge (what we already know about
the content and the form), and context (what has already been said) to predict and
then to confirm meaning, and recalling important words and ideas. It can be said that
listening is not passive skill because the process of listening is more complex than
just hearing a message and it needs some components, such as stimulating of the
material which is listened.
Linguistically, listening is a process by which spoken language is covered to
meaning in the mind (Donogue, 1990:46). Because verbal communication carried on
primarily so that others may comprehend the information transmitted and react
accordingly, listening implies comprehension of the material which is heard. It is a
personal absorption of ideas and attitudes which are expressed through oral language.
8
It also involves interpretation. It means that listening is process in order to distinguish
sounds, understanding messages, assist speaker, and dismantle problems, comprehend
and evaluate what one hears, and enjoy, appreciate and response emotionally.
Furthermore, the definition of comprehension is the process of reader or
listener interaction with printed or oral material. Block (1993:78) defines that
comprehension is a complex process, which involves between mind of reader or
listener on language of the text, which is read or listened in a particular situational
and social context. Comprehension requires the student’s engagement, use of scheme
and interpretation of speaker’s messages it relates to their experiences. In addition,
Finnoochiaro (1989:95) states that comprehension is also an activity in decoding of
the stream of spoken language, which involves continual mental processing,
concentrated, and memory because it’s utterance requires perception of the sounds,
recognition, and identification of the segments, understanding of the communicative
expression and syntactic structures, and interpretation of the messages.
Moreover, Bromley (1992:120) defines that listening comprehension is an
active cognitive process because to comprehend the language receiver interacts which
spoken information and monitor comprehension in a search for meaning. It might be
because of the goal of listening comprehension is to be able to understand native
speech at normal speech in unstructured situation.
To sum up, it can be said that comprehension is a complex of understanding
the meaning of one word or series of words which is presented in oral or printed form
and it includes not only the ability to decode words, but also the awareness of their
meaning. From the definition of both listening and comprehension, it could be
concluded that listening comprehension is a process of understanding the meaning of
spoken language.
9
Agustina (1998:3) states that the learners can not study any other language skills
without listening first. For example a child can speak a word after listening to the
word several times. A child begins to use language by learning the spoken form. In
other words, they learn by listening, understanding repetition.
In vocabulary mastery, listening helps to enlarge student’s vocabulary. It is
through listening that students learn many expression they will eventually see in
print. Listening takes place all the time. In the classroom, the students listen to the
teacher’s explanation about the meaning of words, phrases, and expression.
Furthermore, listening is the important skill in order to get some information
and remember it including the information about the material given by the teacher.
Iwankovitsch (2001:5) cited that the importance of listening goes beyond our ability
to recall information. It is clear that listening is very important in learning language
especially English.
From the explanation above, it can be concluded that listening has a
fundamental function in order to understand about what the information said by
speakers. Listening is also very important to get information then recall it in order to
know what the meaning of information itself.
10
This case can be seen when students have already known by rote a song lyric, they
will easily sing that song while the song is being played. It can also be said that when
people master in a listening then they must also master in vocabulary.
In listening to a foreign language, the students have been on an experience of
thinking that the language is a spoken abnormally fast. They may be able to identify
a single word or phrase, but by the time they have the impression of having blanked
out. Sometimes they missed the words. So, when people listen to something they
must concentrate of what the speaker said. However, they are able to listen to exactly
the same data again; they quickly identify those words or phrases, which have been
isolated in the previous hearing. They also are able to build their vocabulary quickly.
Besides that, listening enriches their vocabulary because by listening they can get
new words and spelling. From the description above, it can be said that more
vocabulary people have, better they master the language.
6.7 Related Previous Study
In relation to this study, there are several pieces of research that dealt with the
writer’s study. In this study, the writer discusses only one of them which is
considered closely related to this study. That research was done by Tibo (2007)
entitled “The Correlation Between Students’ Achievement in Vocabulary and
Reading Ability at the Second Year Students of MAN II Bekasi”. In that study, Tibo
analyzed whether or not there was a significant correlation between students’
achievement in vocabulary and reading ability in mastering English.
Based on the previous study above, the writer compares his investigation with
Tibo’s. There are similarity and differences between the writer’s study and his. The
similarity deals with the subject that is the correlation between language skill, and
the differences are in (1) the location of the research, (2) the objectives, (3) the
sample of the research, and (4) the analysis of the study in each research.
11
7. Method of the Study
Method is a style of conducting a research work which is determined by the
nature of the problem (Singh, 2008:163). In this study, the writer will use descriptive
method especially the correlational study because the writer presents the fact and the
calculation systematically based on the data obtained from the test. According to Best
(1993:17), a descriptive study describes and interprets what it is. It concerns with
conditions or relations that exist, opinions that are held, processes that are going on,
effects that are evident or trends that are developing. It is primarily concerned with
present although as they are related to current condition. The study is based on the
conditions that existed.
12
9. Operational Definitions
The title of this study is “The Correlation between Listening Achievement and
Vocabulary Mastery at Ten Grade Students of SMA N 1 Rantau Panjang in
Academic Year 2013/2014 “. To avoid misinterpretation, some terms used in the title
are operationally defined. Those are correlation, listening, listening achievement, and
vocabulary.
Correlation refers to the two things or more that have a mutual relationship
and influencing each other. The correlation in this study refers to find whether one
variable has a mutual relationship to the other variable or no.
Listening is a way for getting information such as a word, a sentence, and
phrase from other people orally in order to make people can communicate each other
finely.
Listening Achievement in this study refers to the student’s knowledge of
determining the word from context (what has already been said).
Vocabulary refers to the total number of words in a language.

11. Sample
Sample is the group of subject in which information is obtained. It is selected
in such away that it represents the larger group (population) from which it is obtained
(Fraenkel and Wallen, 1991:340). In this study, sample will be taken by using non
random sampling. Manuel (2000:2) describe that non random sampling is a sampling
method which is not based on a random mechanism in the selection of the study
sample. Since the population consists of 73 students, as stated by Arikunto
(2006:130), if the population is less than 100 students, all of the population can be
taken as a sample. Therefore, all of the tenth grade students of SMAN 1 Rantau
Panjang in academic year 2013/2014 will be sample. The distribution of the sample is
shown in Table 2.
Table 2
Sample of Study
14
students’ scores in vocabulary. The students will be asked to answer the multiple
choice question that consist of 50 questions. The test will be presented in appendix B.
However, before giving the test to the sample, the test will be tried out to the
students of another school but still in the same level with the sample. The writer will
give the same test with try out to the participant and sample.
Furthermore, questionnaire will also be given to the students in order to get
some information about the relationship between vocabulary mastery and listening
achievement. A questionnaire is a trial to collect information using some written-
question that must be answered in written form (Nawawi, 1995:177). Johnson and
Christinsen (2000:127) state that questionnaire is a self-report data-collection
instrument that each research participant fills out as part of research study. Moore
(1992:24) says that questionnaire is a means of collecting the data in which the
researcher call on students to examine themselves and react to a series of statement
about their attitudes, feeling and opinions.
In this study, the writer uses a close direct questionnaire with the
questionnaire will consist of 20 questions. The writer will show this questionnaire in
appendix C. A close direct questionnaire is a questionnaire consisting of questions
that must be answered by the respondents and there are several answers that have
been provided so that a respondent only chooses the most appropriate answer to
collect the data of correlation between vocabulary mastery and listening achievement.
The questionnaire is a multiple choice form of four alternatives based on the Likert
Scale type. Likert Scale is a scale with a number of points or spaces, usually at least
three but not more than seven (Wiersma, 2000:305).
13. Validity
Validity is the most important idea to consider when preparing selecting and
instrument for use validity to the appropriateness, meaningfulness of an
interferences, researcher makes (Fraenkel and Wallen, 1990:127). The validity
content is a form that is based on the degree to which a test adequately and
15
sufficiently measurement skills or behavior it set out to measure. The test item of
each test will be devised in accordance with the table of specification in order to
make the test have a high degree of content validity. The table of test specification for
vocabulary and listening tests can be seen in Appendix D. Moreover, the tests will be
related to the syllabus (see Appendix E). Then, index of difficulty formula (IDIF) will
be used to check the difficulty level of each item in the vocabulary test. The formula
of IDIF can be seen below.
𝐵
𝑝 = 𝑥 100%
𝐽𝑠
Where :
P = Indeks of difficulty
B = Total of students with the correct answer
Js = Total of students
(Daryanto, 2001:70)
14. Reliability
Reliability means the stability of the test score. Reliability refers to the
consistency of score obtained how consistent they are for each individual from one
set of items to another. Since the questionnaire will be made and taken from Wiersma
(2000:305), therefore, the questionnaire will be considered reliable.
16
Moreover, the internal consistency of reliability will be used in this study and
estimated by Kuder-Richardson 21, or KR21. This formula will be done toward both
tests (Vocabulary and Listening). Fraenkel and Wallen (1990:136) state that for
researcher purposes, a useful rule is that reliability should be at least 0.70 and
preferably higher. Formula of Kuder-Richardson 21 is as follows and it will be
estimated manually:
K M(

Where :

Nc = Total number of the test which is answered correctly
Nt = Total number of the test
Meanwhile, Likert Scale Type by Wiersma will be used in order to score the
questionnaire. In scoring the questionnaire, the following rule is used:

The following table shows the degree of correlation (Sugiyono, 2011:231)
