The data were collected through the pretest and the post test in the form of friction consonants list for students to pronounce. The gain scores of both classes were compared using SPSS software 22. The results showed that i) dubbing video technique significantly improved the students' achievement of pronouncing friction consonants with significant level 0.05, and ii) there was statistically significant difference achievement of friction consonants between the students taught through dubbing technique and those through conventional learning method without dubbing video technique. The result showed that the students taught with dubbing video techniques had better achievement than those with conventional learning techniques. This suggests that dubbing technique facilitates students to improve their achievement of pronouncing friction consonant sounds.","PeriodicalId":360647,"journal":{"name":"U-Jet Unila Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128240867","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}

Moreover, the purpose of this study is also to get the information and the empirical data about the correlation of students’ vocabulary mastery and their reading comprehension. The populations of the research are 178 students and 36 students were being the sample of the research. All of the objects are from the second semester of IPA 5 SMA N 1 Bandar Lampung. This research was using correlation through the application of quantitative methods by collecting the data from the test. According to the result of the analysis and statistical calculation, it is found that rxy is 0.678 and rt is 0.329 and 0,339 with the degree of freedom ( df=N-nr) is 34. By comparing the values of rxy and rt, it means that rxy is bigger than rt and the statistic hypothesis states: If ro>rt significance: there is correlation and Ha accepted. If ro<rt non-signification: there is no correlation and Ha is rejected. The result of the hypothesis is rxy bigger than rt which means the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Based on this finding from this study, it can conclude that having more vocabulary or vocabulary mastery significantly affects the comprehension of the students reading activity. Moreover by having many vocabularies the students’ can easily get the information and fun story written in English which finally in can enrich their knowledge by reading a lot of books.","PeriodicalId":360647,"journal":{"name":"U-Jet Unila Journal of English Language Teaching","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129557716","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}

Reading fluency, which refers to a person's ability to read a text quickly and accurately, is a necessary skill for students when learning English, and numerous studies on reading fluency and comprehension have been conducted. However, research on the relationship between reading fluency and reading comprehension at the high school level is still uncommon. Therefore, this research sought to determine the relationship between students' reading fluency and reading comprehension. This study took a quantitative approach, collecting data from 36 students in Class XI IPA 1 at UPT SMA Negeri 3 Empat Lawang using an oral reading fluency test and a reading comprehension test. The data were analysed using the Person Product-Moment correlation analysis in SPSS Version 20 for Windows. This study found a strong correlation between reading fluency and reading comprehension (0.000<0.829). The higher the reading fluency of students, the higher their reading comprehension achievement will be. On the contrary, the lower the reading fluency of students, the lower their reading comprehension achievement.
