The students’ parts of speech mastery score was taken from the multiple choices questions whereas the student’ writing achievement was taken from scoring based on experts’ judgements. Based on the data analysis, it was found that the r- obtained (.293) was higher than r-table (.200). then the level of probability (p) significance (sig.2-tailed) was .443.
