It means there is very weak correlation between students’ grammar mastery and students’ reading comprehension and the (r) value is positive, it is able to be concluded that the students who master grammar well do not mean their reading comprehension is well too. Finally, it is totally clear that grammar is not only one aspect which affects student’s reading comprehension. The result showed that many students lack of reading comprehension.

It is recommended to use English in English classes, since it facilitates the students to learn materials efficiently.
