Errors in English Writing Production: Basis for Intervention for Senior High School

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Mathematics G-Book on the performance of SUCs student applicants. The study conducted at Angono National High School during the school 2018 –2019. The fifty (50) respondents of the study were selected based on their strand during the school year 2018 -2019. They were grouped in to two: the experimental group and control group. Each group has twenty five (25) respondents. The researchers used the purposive sampling in determining the respondents. The study used the experimental method of research. This study involved experimental method of research to determine the level of performance of the SUCs student applicants as revealed by their pretest and posttest scores with respect to different lessons presented in the Mathematics G-Book. The researchers developed a Mathematics G-Book to improve the level of performance of SUCs student applicants in the entrance exam in their preferred university. The researchers used pre-test and post-test which administered to the two groups of respondents. The data were gathered, statistically analyzed and interpreted. The papers found out that there is an increase in the posttest means score of the experimental group after being exposed to the Mathematics G-Book which means the respondents from the group gained more knowledge and has an effect in their performance in Mathematics from the Mathematics G-Book in teaching Mathematics. Likewise, the null hypothesis was rejected for the significant difference on the performance of the control group in the pretest and posttest with respect to the different lessons in Mathematics G-Book. Likewise, the null hypothesis was rejected for the significant difference on the performance of the experimental group in the pretest and posttest with respect to the different lessons in Mathematics G-Book. More so, the null hypothesis was rejected for the significant difference on the performance of the respondents in the experimental and control groups as revealed by the posttest with respect to the different lessons in Mathematics G-Book. Furthermore, the Mathematics G-Book with respect to the different lessons were found ‘Much Effective’. The papers concluded that the students obtained a high performance in the post-test as revealed by the experimental group with the used of the Mathematics G-Book. Finally, the Mathematics G-Book is an effective tool in elevating the progress of learning and understanding on the part of the students. Therefore, in this study, the researcher will collect samples of learners writing production, particularly Senior High School Students from both Sto. Tomas National High School, identifying the errors in the sample, describing these errors, classifying them according to their nature and causes, and assessing their seriousness. In doing so, this study will enable the teacher to contextualize lessons according to students’ needs, particularly the demands of the subjects in Senior High School that involves a lot of writing for communicative and academic purposes. Thus, supplying the students not just with the information that they need but also, with the right sort of information for them to form a more adequate concept of rules in writing. Moreover, respondents will be chosen randomly and asked to write a composition with a maximum number of 300 words on the topic “The Best Thing about Senior High School”. The students will be given one (1) hour to write. The errors will be identified and categorized into morphological and mechanical. The questionnaire/the survey form will consist of two (2) parts: Part I will be questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents and Part II will be the essay.
