Abstract


Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya hubungan yang signifikan antara penilaian siswa terhadap kompetensi komunikatif dan performa mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner dan beberapa tes kemampuan produktif berbahasa. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan Pearson Product Moment. Subjek penelitian ini adalah 72 mahasiswa jurusan pendidikan bahasa Inggris Universitas Lampung. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa secara statistik, penilaian siswa terhadap kemampuan komunikasi komunikatif mereka memiliki korelasi yang signifikan terhadap beberapa kemampuan produktif berbahasa mereka (?< 0.05). Akan tetapi, pada kemampuan berbicara, nilai korelasinya masih lemah (0.256). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa masih ada perbedaan antara penilaian siswa dan guru dalam kemampuan berbahasa. Lebih dari itu, siswa membutuhkan waktu untuk memperoleh kompetensi berbahasa Inggris agar mereka lebih siap untuk memberikan performa yang lebih baik.

The research aimed to find out whether there is significant correlation between students self assessment of communicative competence and their actual performance or not. The research was conducted by using a set of questionnaire and several productive skill tests. The collected data were analyzed by using Pearson Product Moment. The subjects of the research were 72 English department students of Lampung University. The result reveals that students self assessment of communicative competence has significant correlation for some actual performances(?< 0.05) at significant level. Though, the size of correlations of students self assessment of communicative competence and their speaking performance is still low (0.256). It indicates that there is still a gap between students and teacher judgment particularly in speaking performance. Moreover, the students need time to acquire English competences in order to make they are ready to have a good performance.

Keywords: Communicative competence, students language performance, students self assessment.
