THE CORRELATION BETWEEN SYNTACTIC KNOWLEDGE AND READING COMPREHENSION
Abstract
This study aimed to find out the precise degree of relationship between syntactic knowledge (represented by grammar scores) and reading comprehension within EPT context. The data collected were in form of examinees' individual scores of EPT taken from two language institutes. The data representing 160 examinees were divided into two sets of scores: grammar and reading. Utilizing statistical analysis software, the researcher analyzed the data using Pearson's correlation coefficient. The result shows that syntactic knowledge and reading comprehension have strong positive correlation. It indicates that examinees' grammar scores might predict their reading scores within EPT.
