Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of this research was to find out the correlation between reading comprehension and translation ability. The population of this research was the fifth semester students of English Education Study Program at FKIP Tanjungpura University Pontianak. The data were derived from reading comprehension test and translation test. The result showed that the students’ reading comprehension has positive correlation with their translation ability since the r-calculation (0.897) is higher than r-table (0.462). The interpretation of correlation could be categorized high to very high. The hypothesis was tested by using t-test formula and found that t-observed was 10.61, it is higher than t-table 2.46 with df= n-2 (28) in level of significance 0.01. In short, the research hypothesis which stated that there was a significant correlation between students’ reading comprehension with their translation ability was accepted.
