Abstract
This correlational study investigated the correlation between eleventh-grade students' vocabulary mastery and speaking skills at SMAN 1 Kec Payakumbuh. The researcher employed a quantitative method using Pearson’s correlation to measure the relationship between two variables: students' vocabulary mastery (independent variable, X) and their speaking ability (dependent variable, Y). The study population included all 11th graders at SMAN 1 Kec Payakumbuh for the academic year 2021/2022, totaling 160 students. A sample of 31 students from class XI IPA 3 was selected. Tests for speaking ability and vocabulary mastery were conducted to find out their vocabulary mastery and their speaking skill level and assess the correlation between those two variables. The findings of this study demonstrated a connection — one that was validated by statistical examination of the data — between the students'' vocabulary mastery and their speaking skill. It was revealed that there was a substantial correlation between the vocabulary mastery of students in the eleventh grade at SMA N 1 Kec Payakumbuh and their speaking ability. The research revealed a positive correlation, indicating that improved vocabulary was linked to better speaking ability. Statistical analysis supported this, with a significant p-value below 0.05, validating the hypothesis.
