Abstract

Reading is an acquired skill needed for obtaining knowledge. To be successful in reading, one should adopt certain attitudes to ensure the reading activity's fruitfulness. This correlational study investigates the possible significant relationship between reading attitude and L2 achievement. The subjects of this study were 47 vocational school students in Yogyakarta. Samples were chosen using purposive sampling with X graders and XI graders of a vocational school. The data were collected through a questionnaire, interview sessions, and an English exam. The hypothesis of this research was the more positive the students’ attitude was, the higher were L2 achievements of the students. The writers conducted a Pearson correlation computation to analyze the correlation of the obtained data. The findings showed that the students' reading attitude was positive and the L2 achievements were high, but the reading attitude correlated negatively and weakly to L2 achievements. Other factors affected L2 achievements as well. ESL teachers should be concerned about their students’ reading attitudes
英语阅读态度对二语成绩的影响
阅读是获得知识所需要的一种后天技能。要想在阅读中取得成功,就应该采取一定的态度来保证阅读活动的丰硕成果。本研究旨在探讨阅读态度与二语成绩之间可能存在的显著关系。本研究以日惹市47名职业学校学生为研究对象。数据是通过问卷调查、访谈和英语考试收集的。本研究假设学生的态度越积极,学生的第二语言成绩越高。作者进行Pearson相关计算,分析所得数据的相关性。结果表明,学生的阅读态度与二语成绩呈显著正相关,但阅读态度与二语成绩呈弱负相关。其他因素也会影响L2的成就。ESL教师应该关注学生的阅读态度
