the correlation of english department students’ prescriptive english grammar and speaking ability

---

Prescriptive grammar knowledge refers to established rules and conventions that define the proper and standardized use of English. In English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, mastery of grammar plays a crucial role in shaping students’ speaking ability. However, excessive emphasis on grammatical accuracy can negatively impact learners’ confidence due to anxiety and social pressure, particularly in academic environments. Speaking thus becomes one of the most challenging language skills when students feel compelled to speak with perfect accuracy. This study aimed to examine whether there is a significant correlation between students’ perceptions of prescriptive English grammar and their speaking ability. The sample consisted of 38 fourth-semester English Department students at Universitas Riau, selected using cluster random sampling. Data were gathered through a validated questionnaire assessing students’ perceptions of prescriptive grammar and a speaking performance test rated by three independent assessors. The data were analyzed using SPSS 30.0. All questionnaire items exceeded the critical validity value (0.3202), and the reliability coefficient reached 0.777, indicating strong internal consistency. Inter-rater reliability was confirmed with a significance value of 0.000. After confirming normality and linearity assumptions, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation analysis was conducted, revealing a very strong positive correlation between students’ perceptions and their speaking ability (r = 0.957, p < 0.000). These results support the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and reject the null hypothesis (Ho), suggesting that students who view grammar positively tend to achieve higher speaking performance. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of grammatical perception in oral language development and offers pedagogical insights for enhancing EFL instruction, particularly within the Indonesian educational context.
