Abstract
This research aimed to describe the relationship between students’ collocational knowledge and reading comprehension achievement. The method which was used in this research was correlational research. The population of the research was the undergraduate EFL students of English education study program of UIN Raden Fatah Palembang in academic year 2016/2017. The population are 455 students from four different semesters in this research. The sample was taken by using purposive sampling technique which consist of 102 students. There are two variables in this research. The first one was students’ collocational knowledge (variable X) and the second one was students’ reading comprehension achievement (variable Y). The students’ collocational knowledge score was taken from the collmatch test whereas the student’ reading comprehension achievement was taken from TOEFL test. Based on the data analysis, it was found that the r-obtained (-.048) was lower than r-table (0.195). Then the level of probability (p) significance (sig.2-tailed) was .631. It means that p (.631) was higher than (.05). It means that null hypothesis (Ho) is accepted and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is rejected. From the research finding, it can be concluded that there was no significant relationship between students’ collocational knowledge and reading comprehension achievement. These results indicate that collocations are not the influential element in reading skills regardless of the reader’s level for reading ability. The researcher assumed students' weaknesses in reading abilities, especially in reading comprehension caused by several aspects such as the lack of awareness in learning to read lessons and lack of motivation to improve reading comprehension.
