In the previous chapter, it is clear the one of the purposes of this researcher is to know whether there are significant correlation between vocabulary mastery and speaking ability at the seventh grade students of SMP Kertanegara Malang in the academic year 2022/2023, so the score of rxy must be compared with the score of rxy-table as follows: Tabel 4. 6 The comparison between rxy and rxy - Table  N rxy rxy- In thetest the computation based on person product moment formula is compared to r-table. If rxy is higher than r-table.
From the result of the data analysis mentioned, researchers found that rxy is 0,827 with a degree of freedom (DF)= N-nr, where the N is number of subject (18) at the 5% degree of significance of correlation to 0,443. It can be said that the value of statistical analysis 0,827 is greater than 0,443.Here the researcher conclude that is any significant correlation between students vocabulary mastery and speaking

Discussion
The description of the data collected through test as explained in the previous section shows that the students" vocabulary mastery and speaking ability at the seventh grade of SMP Kertanegara Malang in academic year 2022/2023 is correlated. It is supported by the mean score rate of the students tests.
This researcher focuses on finding out correlation between two variablesvocabulary mastery standing as variable X and speaking ability standing as variable Y. There are three research questions formulated: (1) The student's vocabulary mastery improve in learning English, (2)The students speaking improve pronunciation and fluency in learning English,(3) the correlation of the two variables.

Student's Vocabulary Mastery in Learning English at SMP Kertanegara Malang.
Students' vocabulary mastery in learning English in the seventh grade of SMP Kertanegara Malang has poor categories. Based on the findings, The result of the calculation showed that mean score of the student vocabulary mastery is 48,25. It means that in rate score of vocabulary is poor score. In vocabulary mastery, there are two indicators that verb and adjective. In verb, the researcher found the mean score is 25,25. Then in adjective the researcher found the mean score is 23,00. It means that, rate score for each indicator is very poor. It can be said, the students vocabulary mastery is low.
In relation to findings from previously research from data showed the researcher found out that Vocabulary is as the most important part of learning a language. Stahl (2005) defines vocabulary as knowledge; the knowledge of a word not only implies a definition, but also implies how that words fits into the world. It means that, it is impossible for the students to speak a foreign language without having enough knowledge of the vocabulary.

Student's Speaking Ability in Learning English at SMP Kertanegara Malang
Student's speaking ability in learning English in the seventh grade of SMP Kertanegara Malang have poor categories. Based on the findings, The result of calculation showed that the mean score of the student speaking ability is 40,25. It means that, in rate score of speaking is poor score. In speaking ability there are two indicators that pronunciation and fluency. In sequence the researcher found the mean score is 23,25. Than, in inference the researcher found the mean score is 17,00. It means that, rate score for each indicator is lower.
In connection with the findings of previous researcher from the data presented, the reseacher found that speaking ability is also the most important part of learning a language. Tarigan (2008:16) states that speaking is not only in a loud voice but also able to convey messages that can be understood by words, sentences, and feel the connection between ideas. Like that, if a student just speaks aloud, but can't understand what is being conveyed, it means he failed in conveying the message. Related to the ability to speak, Lagousi (1992:25), states that the ability to speak is an important tool in socializing.

The Correlation Between Student's Vocabulary Mastery and Speaking Ability
The Correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and speaking ability in the seventh grade of SMP Kertanegara Malang is high correlation. Based on the findings, The result of the calculation showed that the mean score of correlation between the student's vocabulary mastery and speaking ability in learning English the final result is rxy = 0,827. In the table of indexes correlation, it can be concluded that the level of this correlation is 0,70-0,90, based on the table of criteria r Product Moment is high Correlation. It can be say the correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and speaking ability is high.
In relation to the findings with previous research from the data shown in the test, the writer found that student's vocabulary mastery  (2006) states that vocabulary is a basic of a language: it is very important to be mastered first. We cannot speak well and understand materials if we do not master it. Schmitt stated that no matter how successfully the sound of the foreign language is mastered, without words to express the wider range of meanings, communication in a foreign language just cannot happen in any meaningful way.
Meanwhile, the computation based on the person product moment formula is compared to r-table. If rxy is higher than r-table, the (H0) is rejected and the alternative (H1) is accepted. From the result of the data analysis mentioned, the research get that rxy is 0,827 with N= 20 at the 5% degree of significance of correlation to 0,443. It can be say that the value of statistical analysis 0,827 is greater than 0,443.
Having the result that rxy (0.827) is higher than r table (0,443), it means there is a high correlation between vocabulary mastery and speaking ability, Nuttall (1983: 5) do not seem to be wrong to place vocabulary as the first factor influencing speaking ability. Vocabulary mastery has already proved to have a positive correlation to speaking ability. The more vocabulary the students know, the better they are in speaking ability.
From the findings and the discussion above, the researchconcluded that the student's vocabulary mastery is the most important thing in speaking ability because the student's vocabulary mastery influences the student's speaking ability. Roehrig and Guo (2011) explain that vocabulary knowledge is one of the major factors that influence speaking ability.
It is also supported by Sedita (2005) who stated that vocabulary knowledge is crucial in speaking and determining how good the students are in comprehending the texts. Speakers cannot understand what they are speaking without knowing what most of the words mean. As the children learn to speak more advanced texts, they must learn the meaning of the new words that are not part of their oral vocabulary.

CONCLUSION
This researchers focuses on the correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and speaking ability, this research also attempts to find out the students' vocabulary mastery and the student' speaking ability. Based on the findings explained in the previous chapter, while the criteria of the correlation between 0.70 to 0.90 are considered high, the research concluded that rxy = 0.827 with N 20 are significant. It means that null hypothesis is rejected and Ha hypothesis is accepted.
Another that, based on the person product moment formula is compared to r-table the research found that it is ryx (0.443) r > table (rt), (0,443) its mean Ho is rejected, and H1 is accepted.
In conclusion, the result showed there is a positive correlation between students' vocabulary mastery and the students' speaking ability at the seventh grade of SMP Kertanegara Malang.

SUGGESTION
Based on the conclusion above, it is suggested the vocabulary mastery and speaking ability are: 1. Students' who are still low in vocabulary mastery and speaking ability are suggest to more concentrat on learning English, especially in vocabulary mastery and speaking ability. The students also need to practice their knowledge more than before because one language would be mastered by practicing in our daily activities. Using the dictionary is also suggested to help the students to enrich their vocabulary mastery.
2. The teachers should use more teaching media in learning process. The students will be interested more in studying if the teacher's uses media in teaching activities such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) set. 4. For the other researchers, it is suggested that the teacher should be more active and creative in implementing different techniques and may uses the modification and finding an optimal way in teaching vocabulary. Its purpose is to make students interested and improve their vocabulary mastery and their speaking ability.
