Numerous researches have viewed that translation, reading and writing as mutually reinforcing interactive processes in English as foreign language context. The aim of the article is to report an empirical study on the correlation between translation ability and reading habit toward writing skill either partially or simultaneously. The method used correlational study, with a test and a questionnaire as the technique of collecting data. The population was all of the eleventh grade students of SMA in Boyolali. The technique of choosing the sample was cluster random sampling. The techniques used to analyze the data are Simple and Multiple Linear Regression and Correlation. The research findings show that: (1) translation ability contributes to writing skill; (2) similar interaction is found between reading habit and writing skill; and (3) translation ability and reading habit simultaneously contribute to writing skill.
