Abstract

The English language bridges the gap of connection among people but it will only be possible if the language will be taught as it should be. The gains in English proficiency were not palpable in the Philippines based on the survey of Monroe. It shows a low level of proficiency that the government needs to be solved. Because of using English in class discussions, students encounter different kinds of difficulties in understanding the topics and this may affect their academic performance in terms of oral recitation, tests and quizzes, activities, and assignments or homework. The scope of this study is to identify the effects of using the English language on the academic performance of the students. A qualitative method was used in the study. Using a descriptive research design, it focused on the assessment of Grade 12 ABM students. There were four academic variables identified as affected by using the English language such as oral recitation, tests and quizzes, activities, and assignments or homework. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to the Grade 12 ABM students of Bestlink College of the Philippines selected using convenience sampling. The results of the study revealed that the English Language affects the academic performance of the Grade 12 ABM students in terms of the aforecited variables: (1) Oral Recitation –English Language affects student’s academic performance in participating in class recitation. (2) Test and Quizzes –the English language affects the students in understanding the questions and directions, and as a result, they get low scores. (3) Activities –the English language can help the students accomplish and perform their activities. (4) Assignments or Homework –English language can help the students to answer them easier with the use of other sources. The results of the study demonstrate the need for the teachers and school administrators to train the students of Bestlink College of the Philippines to consistently use the English language during class discussions to help them achieve their academic goals. This may somehow affect their academic performance in becoming academically excellent. It is very important that students continually practice using the English language to have positive effects on their academic performance. School programs like the English Month celebration that consists of different activities must be created to improve the skills of the students in using the English language.
