Learning Module in Improving the Oral Language Fluency of Grade 7 students in Coral na Munti National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

English is known as the international language. Through the English language, we could communicate or interact with other people all over the world. We could even change the world just by knowing how to speak English. For students, they could learn more about the English language which they could use in finding their chosen careers inside and outside their country. The English language could also be the way to unlock a person's true ability in his speaking, writing, and listening skills. In this study, the researcher found the oral language fluency level of Grade 7 students and created a Learning Module as a tool to improve it.

METHODS

The researcher employed the descriptive method of research and utilized questionnaires as the main instrument in gathering data. The oral language proficiency level and the academic performance in English were given emphasis.

RESULTS

The oral language fluency of Grade 7 students was assessed by students themselves in terms of diction, articulation and word recognition. Proper diction and articulation help them convey their feelings and emotions. On the other hand, word recognition helps students understand the text they are reading. When it comes to academic performance, students performed to a great extent as measured from the competencies given to them.

DISCUSSIONS

The results of the study proved that there is a great need for Grade 7 students to improve their oral language fluency as seen from the outcomes of the study. The researcher believed that with the help of a Learning Module, students will at least develop the skills in oral language. The next step is planning for dissemination and advocacy on how to utilize the learning module. It will be used by the English teachers as a remedial tool to assess the performance of students in oral language.
