READING INTEREST AND LEARNING STYLES: PREDICTORS OF STUDENTS’ WRITING COMPETENCY?
Abstract
This article was based on a research aiming to find out whether reading interest and learning styles are predictors of students’ writing competence in FIB UTY. The research design was ex- post facto of which the subjects were 106 semester 3, 5 and 7 students of English Department in Faculty of Cultural Studies in Yogyakarta Technology University. Data were collected by observing students’ writing competence, distributing questionaires to measure their reading interest and determine their learning styles. Prior to usage, all the instruments were tested concerning their validity and reliability. A multiple regression analysis had been performed taking as dependent variable writing competencye and as independent variables, reading interest and learning styles. SPSS was used in analyzing the data. Evaluating assumptions (normality, linearity, multicollinearity, autocorrelation and heteroscedaticity) was done in advance. The results showed that statistically, the independent variables (reading interest, and learning styles) significantly predicted the dependent variable (writing competence). The result of Partial Correlation analysis showed that reading interest gave stronger influence on students’ writing competence than learning styles.
