The data were analyzed using product moment correlation by Pearson to know the correlation of grammar mastery with writing ability. The results showed that grammar mastery correlated with writing ability (r =0.345). It indicated that the correlation of grammar mastery and writing ability was weak, in which the coefficient was between 0,21 and 0,40. The null hypothesis (HO) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (HA) was accepted. In conclusion, there was a weak correlation of grammar mastery with writing ability.
