Abstract

This study aims to find out the influences of reading habit in enhancing students’ translation speed especially whether reading habits can enhance the students’ translation speed or not. This study used quantitative design. There were 30 students participated in this study which selected through random sampling. The data about students’ reading habits and translation speed ability were collected through questionnaire and translation test with time limitation. Grounded theory was implemented for data analysis, out of which the finding emerged that there is no correlation between students’ reading habit and their translation speed. The students who have low reading habit does not mean that they get poor acvhievement in translation speed ability and vice versa. Pre-activity dealing with the test topic should be done and the instrument for the translation speed should be renewed with the best and proper ones.
