Writing is the ability to express ideas, thoughts, opinions, and Feelings. Writing is needed by students in order they can express their feelings in writing. The students of Islamic junior high school have a habit of writing a diary by using English - Indonesian on their diary book. Therefore, this research examines the correlation between their habit in diary writing and their ability in writing recount text
There are two research questions; (1) Is there any Correlation between Students’ Habit in Diary Writing habit using Indonesian and their Writing ability in Recount Text at eighth grade Of MTs Al-Ishlah Jenggawah Jember?”. (2) Is there any Correlation Between Students’ Habit in Diary Writing habit using mixed language (English - Indonesian) and their Writing ability in Recount Text at Eighth Grade Of MTs Al-Ishlah Jenggawah Jember?.
The method of the research is Quantitative Research by employing a Correlation Study. The research was conducted in two classes, They were VIII A (29 students) and VIII B (26 students). The researcher gave a questionnaire about students’ habit in diary writing to both classes, also giving a test to know students’ skills in writing recount text. When the questionnaire and the test of writing in recount text’s scores were collected, the researcher then analyzed the data collected by Pearson product-moment by using IBM SPSS Version 20.
The result showed that the mean score in writing a diary by using Indonesian was 30,50 and the mean of scores in writing a diary by using English-Indonesian was 32,23 (30,50<32,23). While, The mean of scores in writing recount text test in VIII A was 74,72 and The mean of scores in writing recount text test in VIII B was 65,58 (74,72>65,58). Moreover, hypothesis testing showed that the significant 2-tailed of students’ diary writing habit and students’ writing ability is 0.012<0.05. It means that there is positive correlation if the significant 2-tailed is lower than 0.05. So, it concluded the students’ writing score does not really reflect their habit in diary writing by using English-Indonesian and Indonesian at Al-Ishlah Islamic Junior High School in the academic year 2023/2024.
