The process of students’ learning involves many
factors, and one of which is study habits. This important
factor in the learning process has the potential to influence
students’ learning achievement. Therefore, this present study
aimed to investigate the correlation between study habits
and English learning achievement of the first-grade students
of a state vocational school - SMKN 12 in Samarinda. This
study employed a quantitative research method with
correlational design. Sixty five students were selected as
sample using the purposive technique. The instruments used
to collect data included the Study Habits Inventory and
documents (i.e. the students’ English midterm scores) as the
students’ English learning achievement. Descriptive statistics
and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used to
analyze the data. The result indicated that there was a
positive correlation between study habits and English
learning achievement. Therefore, it can be concluded that
the better the students’ study habits, the higher their
learning achievement.
