Finally it was found that the value rxy of this study (0.789) was higher than the value of r in
table product moment with level of significance 5% and 1%. It means that the alternative
hypothesis was accepted, where it means that there is significant correlation between reading
comprehension ability and writing ability of the fourth semester students of English Study
