摘要

NURAENI :udLearning is a process fundamental in every level of education, it means that successudor not to achieve the educational purpose depend on learning process of the students,udboth at school and at house. Inflectional suffixes is one of learning that are expectedudin order that students more easily understand the material of nouns; forming pluraludand verbs; indicating of tense, number. Then, make students more clearly differudabout tenses and form the verb itself. By studying English word formation, studentsudcan more clearly know the variety of words or new some vocabularies by addingudsuffixes.udHowever, learning is relatively permanent change that occurs as an outcomeudof experience. So, is there any positive and significant influence of students‟udunderstanding in inflectional suffixes learning on their ability in studying Englishudword formation of nouns and verbs?udThe method of the research is quantitative approach, the techniques ofudcollecting the data are analyzed by the theoretical and statistical analysis. Forudstatistical analysis the writer uses formula of Pearson‟s product moment correlation.udTo indicate how many percents the contribution of X variable influences Y variable,udthe writer uses coefficient of determination (DC = r2 x 100%). The objective ofudresearch in this thesis is to know the influence of students‟ understanding inudinflectional suffixes learning on their ability in studying word formation of nouns andudverbs at the second grade students on SMP Negeri 6 Kota Cirebon.udSMP Negeri 6 Kota Cirebon is one of junior high school that becomesudresearch area of the writer. It is located on Jalan Elang Raya No. 1 KecamatanudHarjamukti Kota Cirebon Provinsi Jawa Barat. The students‟ understanding inudinflectional suffixes is 73.25. It is in good clarification. For the students‟ ability inudstudying English word formation of nouns and verbs, it can be known 92.25. It is inudgood clarification. Product moment correlation coefficient between X variable and Yudvariable (rxy) is 0.59. It is categorized in the sufficient correlation. The contribution ofudcoefficient of determination (DC) is 34.8% and 65.2% can be formed the other factorsudthat need to be investigated more detail.udFinally, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is approved and the null hypothesisud(Ho) is rejected. It means that there is positve and significant influence between Xudvariable (students‟ understanding in inflectional suffixes learning) and Y variableud(Students‟ ability in studying English word formation of nouns and verbs at theudsecond grade students of SMP Negeri 6 Kota Cirebon).
