study, they are, first, whether there is correlation between students’ structure abilityand
TOEFL score on TOEFL class at the sixth semester of TBI at STAIN Pamekasan or not
and second, howsignificantthe correlation between students’ structure ability and
TOEFL score on TOEFL class at the sixth semester of TBI at STAIN Pamekasan
is.This study is to measure the correlation between students’ structure ability and
TOEFL scoreon TOEFL C class at the sixth semester of TBI at STAIN Pamekasan and
to examine the statistically significance of the correlation of students’ structure ability
and TOEFL scoreon TOEFL C class at the sixth semester of TBI at STAIN Pamekasan.
There are two variables in this study, they arestudents’ structure ability as independent
variable (x) and TOEFL score as dependent variable (y).
This research is quantitative research and the researcher uses correlation
design. The researcher uses test and documentation as the instruments of this research
to collect the data. Data analysis that the researcher used was statistical analysis by
