Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship among attitude toward learning, language learning strategies, and English achievement of Islamic junior high school students, as well as the contribution of attitude toward learning and language learning strategies to English achievement. This study used a quantitative approach with the correlation method to answer the research problem. Questionnaires of attitude toward learning and language learning strategies as the instrument of the study, and they were distributed to 125 students of the eighth grade in MTsN 5 Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The students' English achievement was assessed based on their pure English score in the even semester of examinations. Then, correlation research with multiple regression was employed to analyze the data. The result showed that attitude toward learning and language learning strategies together affect students’ English achievement, but the contribution is only 7.9 %. The correlation analysis also showed that there is a low significant correlation between attitude toward learning and English achievement, but there is no significant correlation between language learning strategies and English achievement. These findings indicate that other factors have a greater contribution to English achievement, especially for Islamic junior high school students.
