【 摘 要 】

This research aims to determine the correlation between English proficiency and reading comprehension ability with scientific literacy skill of senior high school students. This research was conducted in Bekasi Regency involving 69 senior high school students as samples. Samples were chosen by Simple Random Sampling. The method used in this research was descriptive quantitative and research hypothesis tested by Pearson Product Moment in α = 0.05. The result showed that there was positive correlation between: English proficiency and scientific literacy skill (r = 0.354); reading comprehension ability and scientific literacy skill (r = 0.424); English proficiency, reading comprehension ability, and scientific literacy skill altogether (r = 0,441). Determination coefficient obtained in this study was relatively low (r2 = 12.6% for English proficieny and scientific literacy skill; r2 = 18% for reading comprehension ability and scientific literacy skill; r2 = 19.5% for English proficiency, reading comprehension ability and scientific literacy skill altogether). They indicated that there was other factor which contributed more on students' scientific literacy skill. This result research is expected to be a basic reference for further research.
