the correlation between students ability in identifying past tense and their achievement in writing recount text at smkn 1 pekanbaru

---

This research investigates the correlation between students’ mastery of
past tense and their ability to write recount texts at the tenth grade of SMKN 1
Pekanbaru. The study is based on the premise that grammar, especially verb
tenses, is fundamental to effective writing, particularly in recounting past
experiences.
Using a quantitative descriptive design, the researcher collected data from
36 students in a Perhotelan class through purposive sampling. The instruments
used were a 34-item multiple-choice grammar test focusing on past tense
forms and a writing task requiring students to compose a recount text about
their past experiences. Writing assessment was based on criteria such as
structure, content, grammar, mechanics, and style using HD Brown’s rubric.
The findings revealed that students’ average score in mastering past tense
was 59.39, while their average score in writing recount text was 68.94.
Statistical analysis using Pearson Product Moment correlation produced an rvalue
of 0.207. While this value indicates a positive correlation, it falls into
the “low correlation” category, meaning that mastery of past tense only has a
slight influence on students’ ability to write recount texts.
Further statistical tests showed the data was normally distributed but not
homogeneous. Despite the low correlation, the study confirmed that a
connection exists between students’ grammar proficiency and their writing
achievement. It also suggests that other factors—such as vocabulary, content
development, and coherence—may contribute more significantly to writing
performance.
The study concludes that although mastery of past tense supports writing
skills, it is not the sole determinant of students’ success in writing recount
texts. The research also provides a reference for further studies exploring the
interplay between grammar and writingproficiency.
