THE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS’ HABIT OF WATCHING ENGLISH ANIMATED COMEDY MOVIES AND STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY MASTERY OF EIGHTH GRADERS IN SMPN 1 NGANTANG
Abstract
This study explores the correlation between students' habits of watching English animated comedy movies and their English vocabulary proficiency among Eighth Graders at SMPN 1 Ngantang. The research involved 45 randomly selected students, and data collection employed questionnaires and vocabulary tests. The collected data underwent analysis using the Pearson Product Moment correlation. The findings indicate a significant but low negative correlation (r = -0.294) between students' movie-watching habits and their English vocabulary mastery. This correlation coefficient was smaller than the critical value at a 5% significance level. The two-tailed significance level (sig. = 0.05) further confirms a significant relationship between the variables. In conclusion, Eighth Graders at SMPN 1 Ngantang exhibit a significant but low negative correlation between their habits of watching English animated comedy movies and their English vocabulary mastery.
