To investigate whether there is significant correlation between vocabulary mastery and descriptive writing ability at the tenth graders of SMA Muhammadiyah I Metro in the academic year of 2013/2014, the writer analyzes the data by using product moment correlation. With the value of"r hitung" is 0, 7309, and r table in the level of 5% is 0,413 and in the level of 1% is 0,526.

After considering the product moment table by using df 23, it can be know that "r hitung" is bigger than r table. Therefore, it can be inferred that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. It means that there is a significant correlation between vocabulary mastery and descriptive writing ability at the tenth graders of SMA Muhammadiyah I Metro in the academic year of2013/2014.

Furthermore, the writer measured the level of correlation between vocabulary mastery and descriptive writing ability at the ttenth graders of SMA Muhammadiyah I Metro in the academic year of 2013/2014 by counting the square of "r hitung" and multiplying it by 100% = (r hitung)' X 100% = (0,7309 X 100% = 53, 421481%. Based on the analysis above, it can be inferred that the level of the correlation between vocabulary mastery and descriptive writing ability is 53, 421481.
