An Assessment on the Impact of Linguistic Competence in the Academic Achievements of the Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS) Grade 12 Students in the Social Science Subject of First Semesters A.Y. 2018-2019

Abstract

Linguistic competence plays a big role in the academic performance of the students, especially in social science. It is the measurement of someone’s linguistic ability which is very useable in recitations and activities because it will help us express ourselves better without having difficulties. The researchers used the action research design to obtain a general overview of the impact of linguistic competence on the academic achievements of the HUMSS 12 students in a social science subject. The researchers picked random students to answer a survey questionnaire. The study found out that linguistic competence affects academic performance in terms of grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and comprehension ability. This problem has an impact on students because it affects their performances in academics. Students chose to be silent in the class rather than express themselves. Being shameless in the class has a big impact on the students; it impacts their focus in class. This failure will be bad for their performances and behavior. Linguistic competence creates a big impact on the academic achievements of the students. Our research study claims that guidance and appreciation from the people that inspire you will help you to achieve something bigger and better.
