Abstract

The Integrated Course program which is given in the first semester is the basic lesson which is intended to provide students with the knowledge and skills of English to enable them to use English oral and written communication. In line with the aim of giving the IC, the purpose of this study is to find out the predictive validity of the IC Written test and Writing I; IC Oral test and Speaking I; IC Listening test and Listening I, and whether the correlation is significant. To fulfill the purpose of this study, the English Department students of the year 2005/2006 of Widya Mandala Catholic University Surabaya were taken as the samples specifically the first and second semesters students. The data being used was the scores of IC Written test, IC Oral test, IC Listening test, Speaking I, Writing I and Listening I test of the year 2005/2006. The writer took them from the English Department files. Those data are used to finf out and prove that there is a significant positive correlation between the IC Written test and Writing I; IC Oral test and Speaking I test; IC Listening test and Listening I test. By looking at the findings, the Null hypothesis is rejected since the result shows that the value of r product moment of each variable (Writing is 0.474; Listening is 0.74; Speaking is 0.658) is bigger than the value of each r table ( Writing is 0.266; Speaking is 0.254; Listening 0.254). So, it is then clear that there is a significant positive correlation between the IC Oral test and Speaking I test; IC Written test and Writing I test; IC Listening test and Listening I test. In other words, IC can really provide the students the basic skills in Writing, Listening and Speaking. Based on the results of this research, the writer recommends other researchers to conduct the same researches on other language proficiencies with a larger and wider sample. Thus, the writer also suggests that the further researchers will make research about Concurrent validity of the other language skills by constructing the test items and test them to the students in order to get better result.
