This study used quantitative methodologies and samples from as many as eleven classes in class VIII, with a representative from each class. The duration of this study was roughly six weeks. 33 students took multiple choice vocabulary examinations with up to 25 questions, and within 5 weeks, speaking assessments were given to the students. In addition, the average score for male vocabulary mastery was 58 and the average score for speking mastery female was 67.33. The average vocabulary mastery score for male was 63.33, and the average score for female speaking ability was 66.11. It can be said that there is no correlation between the 8th students at SMPN 1 Pringgabaya's vocabulary proficiency and their speaking skills. As a result, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is disproved while the null hypothesis (Ho) is accepted. This indicates that the hypothesis assumption's correlation value is less than the significant value (Rxy rt).","PeriodicalId":301632,"journal":{"name":"Journal of English Education Forum (JEEF)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131569277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The result of the data analysis showed that the most frequently used type and function of hedging was Approximator of Degree, Frequency, Time and Quantity and Attribute Hedge. It is caused that most of the writers often state a speculation, assumption, opinion or probability through their statement in which decreases the explicitness of a statement and hence enables the writer to be less direct and bald in communicating his/her meaning.
