7 ABSTRACT Septian Tri Wijayanti Fatimah. K THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS LEARNING INTEREST, STRUCTURE MASTERY, AND READING SKILL (A CORRELATIONAL STUDY AT THE ELEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMA N 1 SUKOHARJO IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2014/2015). Thesis, English Education Department. Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. Desember The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a correlation between (1) students learning interest and students reading skill; (2) students structure mastery and students reading skill; and (3) students learning interest, students structure mastery simultaneously, and students reading skill. This research used quantitative method that is correlational study. The study was carried out from February 2014 to December 2015 at SMA N 1 Sukoharjo. The population was all the eleventh grade of SMA N 1 Sukoharjo in the academic year of 2014/2015 which consists of eleven classes. The total number of the students are 350 students. The sample were 36 students taken by cluster random sampling technique. The instruments in collecting the data were questionnaire and test. The questionnaire was used to collect the data of students learning interest; while the objectives test was used to collect the data of students structure mastery and students reading skill. The techniques which were used to analyze the data were Single and Multiple Regresssion and Correlation. The result of the data analysis shows that: (1) there is a positive correlation between students learning interest and students reading skill; (2) there is a positive correlation between students structure mastery and students reading skill; and (3) there is a positive correlation between students learning interest, students structure mastery simultaneously, and students reading skill. It means that students learning interest and students structure mastery cannot be neglected in improving reading skill. Keywords: correlation, learning interest, structure mastery, reading skill vii
