Consequently, the sample became 34 students. In collecting data, the writer used observation and speaking test. Observation was used to find out the participation of the students in discussion class. The speaking test was used to find out the students’ speaking ability. The writer calculated the data by using Pearson Coefficient Correlation. From the data analysis which has been done by using SPSS for windows version 17.00 program, it can be seen there is no significant correlation between the students’ participation in discussion class and their speaking ability at the second year of SMA N 4 Siak as shown by the explanation below: 1. The score of correlation coefficient is 0.101<0.349 in significant level of 5% and 0.449 in significant level of 1% (see the table of product moment). It means that Ha is rejected which indicates that there is no significant correlation between students’ participation in small group discussion and the students’ speaking ability. 2.
