Abstract

This study aimed at investigating a demographic description of the third semester TBI students’ habits of watching English movies, a demographic description of their English listening skills, and the correlation between their habits of watching English movies and their English listening skills. A pair of hypotheses was formulated according to two variables, habits of watching English movies and English listening skill. This study adopted a quantitative method with a correlational design to work on two variables, namely habits of watching English movies as an independent variable and English listening skill as a dependent variable. There were 63 TBI students of IAIN Curup who became the population. During the conduction of this study, they were taking their third semester program. A convenient sampling technique was deployed to select the sample in a way that those who filled in the two distributed instruments became the official respondents. As the foregoing, there were 46 students who fulfilled the requirement to be the sample. The data were collected using two valid and reliable instruments, namely the questionnaire of habits of watching English movies and the TOEFL-based English listening test. Descriptive statistic and statistical-correlation techniques were employed to analyze the data. This study revealed three sets of data. First, the demographic description of the third semester TBI students’ habits of watching English movies demonstrated that they had moderate habits of watching English movies with the percentage of 75%. Second, in terms of English listening skill, their demographic data illustrated that they had moderate-to-low English listening skills with the percentage of 28.65%. Such a moderate-to-low level was identified from the data of frequency distribution, but this level was not a good level. The two sets of demographic descriptions implied an imbalanced condition. Third, this imbalance was further statistically proven after the hypothesis testing had been done. The hypothesis testing indicated the pattern of no correlation between the third semester TBI students' habits of watching English movies and their English listening skills as evidenced by rxy (0.002617) lower than rtable (0.2907). In the discussion section, the researcher provided some theoretical, practical, and contextual reasons concerning the pattern of no correlation between the two variables amid student respondents in this study. An implication was also provided at the end of the discussion section. Furthermore, this study was ended by a conclusion and suggestions for a couple of parties.
