Keywords:
students participation, express ideaAbstract
INTRODUCTION
Learners often instinctively seem to recognize the importance of vocabulary for their learning. Wide vocabulary helps the students express their idea and establish an interactive learning process inside the classroom. Collection of words made students feel at ease in sharing their idea, understanding reading resources and do good in word spelling, thus achieved excellence in academics.
METHODS
This research is delimited on the development of student performance in expressing their ideas. The purposive sampling was used in this research -all students that need immediate attention were picked. Three (3) reliable sources of data were used to generate viable target-respondents for appropriate actions: their grades in class participation, an observation note to keep records of their responses in expressing the idea, and an interview to supply authentic reasons for their actions.
RESULTS
It revealed that 2 are on the beginning level which is classified as failing students, 5 are on the developing level, 4 of them are approaching proficiency, and 25 on the Proficient up to the advanced level. 11 Students caught the attention of the teacher to know the causes of their low performance. If not given attention, they might have experienced frustration in their studies.
DISCUSSIONS
The transition to post-primary school requires students to have a high level of vocabulary knowledge in order to communicate effectively in academic content. Although the student diversity and other factors cause varied development in vocabulary. Vocabulary develops at a slower rate for children from disadvantaged backgrounds compared to children from more advantaged areas. The result establishes the importance of student's exposure to new words. It is evident that using the "Express idea, Expressway Ko" program led them to meet passing grade in the third quarter. It is clear that the intervention program is effective and enhances the interest of the learners.
