CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
This chapter includes the introduction, background of the study, statement of the problem, significance of the problem,
conceptual framework, scope and delimitation, and the definition of terms used.
I. Introduction
English is the universal language use in different countries. It use to communicate on a regular basis is two billion. English
language is the dominant business language, and it has become almost necessity for people to spoken English, because
there are many motivations to learn this language, such as: the modern world language of media, international economic,
tourism, technology and scientific articles, and the internet that demands a good knowledge of English especially of spoken
English.
English has come to be international language and the language of global communication, due to various reasons which
are political, economy, and technical. Globalization has made English language compulsory to learn and compulsory
ingredients of successful personality. English proficiency is a key factor for employment success and for opening doors to
economic opportunity. English is the language of our international communication in all areas but may not most spoken
language in the world. If you want to speak to someone from other nationality then the chances are that you will both be
speaking English to do this. The importance of English communication effectively and no communication is possible if one
doesn’t know to communicate in English language. It is natural that the demand for English communication is high in this
everchanging world.
Background of the study
English plays a crucial role in communication and is no doubt the foremost and most important tool for communication all
over the world. Individually everybody should strive hard to acquire very good communication skills which are the most
important to excel in one’s career.
Speaking English language skill is one of the important skills to be developed and use to use communicate everywhere. It
is the universal language that is sometimes that bases how intelligent you are. Being English fluent can raise your confident.
English is like a seasonal language, there is no motivation to speak continuously among lecturers and students. This will
bevery complicated to be solved for future English because only few students can speak English fluently. Speaking English
fluently can make your communication skills more better especially when you are talking to different people from different
country.
Speaking skill is have a closely relationship with listening skill, in speaking act, the students must be listening and then
speak up, because speaking is not only remembering and memorizing the sentences in written but speaking is spontaneous
to show the students idea by orally. According to Chaney (1998:3), “speaking is the process of building and sharing meaning
through the use of verbal and nonverbal symbols in variety of contexts. Speaking is a crucial part of second language
learning and teaching.” It means students should be able to communicate with the others to get or to share information
and/or to express what they feel.

Another difficulty is that the students are lack of English vocabulary because they are passive users of English. They only
use English in English class. It is also very often that in the English class they do not use English as the main language.
Moreover, they are unwilling to open their dictionary. They prefer asking to their teacher or friends to finding the words
in dictionary. In fact, the teacher has ordered them to bring it. Therefore, the teacher should to have an appropriate
technique in teaching speaking skill in order to make students more active in learning English speaking skill.
Ur (1996), students have problems in speaking activities, such as inhibition, low motivation, mother tongue use, and
nothing to say. Those problems were often occurred when students spoke English. Harmer (2007) also says that there are
two elements of speaking which become problems for students. Those elements are accuracy and fluency. Those elements
are very important for students in speaking English. They have to consider about those elements when they are speaking
English. It is because without considering those elements, our speaking will not be good. Then, the problems of fluency
and accuracy also cause misunderstanding between speaker and listener, if the speaker cannot speak fluently and
accurately. In brief, students should pay attention to elements of speaking, harmer (2007) says that if students want to
speak English fluently and accurately, they need to be able to pronounce the words correctly and speak without mistakes
in grammar.
There are some methods for improving student communication skills, Watch films that model conversation skills, Use
technology, Reinforce activity listening, Offer group presentation and assignments, Ask of Open-ended questions, Use
tasks and activities that foster critical thinking, offer reflective learning opportunities, Find teachable moments. This are
the strategies help to enhance student’s speaking and writing abilities, no matter their age.
Statement of the problem
This research study entitled “The effectiveness of English fluency towards the communications skills of Grade 12
students of ICCT San Mateo Campus” will find the answer of three main problems:
1. What are the educational materials to improve communication skills of the students?
2. Is there a significant relationship between vocabulary skills and communication skills in the academic success of
the respondents?
3. What are the strength and weaknesses of the students in terms of communication skills using English language?
Significance of the study
The general nation among students is that speaking English is very difficult and tough. But it can be overcome. It needs a
lot of practice. But with help of strategies, teacher can attract and draw the attention of the students. These strategies
will indeed kindle the student’s interest to learn more it may also be interesting to learn new concepts and understand
the unknown.
Generally, any language can become an essential tool for effective communication; particularly in professional colleges
like engineering, medical and Agriculture where, the medium of instruction is English. They are weak in all subjects in
general and English in particular. At this juncture the students have to grasp the ideas and understand the subject matter
as quickly as possible and to follow the lecture effectively. But rural student, who are poor in English language, feel it very
difficult, to communicate with the others during the learning process.
These are the following who will benefits the study:
Students. The result of this study will benefit to them by gaining more knowledge regarding effective of English fluency
and will inspire them to give some attention about this. This study will also help them to practice more about English and
evaluate the reason why some of them feel difficulty about the mentioned topic. Students will also awake about the
importance of English fluency and it can motivate them to give time and interest to learn it more.
Researchers. This study will help researchers to have self-knowledge about the English language and make their
communication skills better in the way of socializing to other respondents to gain data. Researcher may also put their
learnings regarding to this as stock knowledge for a future purpose.
Future researchers. Data and information will benefit the future researchers by setting it as their references. This study
can also help them to make aware about some student performance and think that English language are important not
only for communication but in the other things too like in writing.
Parents. This study will make parents/guardian aware about their child performance in speaking English fluency and will
guide them to change a parenting style into more focusing in teaching language especially English.
School administration. The result of this can study can give the administrator a background about their student
performance about English fluency and orient their teachers to teach more to help this problem lessen. School
administrator can also use the result as their basis in evaluating the English teachers.

Foreign study
In the present scenario Graddol D (2006) says the English has become one of the most important academic and
professional tools. English is recognized as undoubtedly the most important language to learn for the
increasingly mobile international community, and English has become the official language of
the business and scientific world (Schütz, 2005). English as the global academic language
facilitates the international mobility of young researchers (Graddol, D. ,2006).
English used in everyday situations or general purpose is quite different from the English used in
academic writing. Academic English is purposely used for reading and understanding the study
materials, and writing about the subject. It is used to describe an object, situation, a process or
how something works and explain something. Writing for academic or scientific research should
be lucid, brief, exact and accurate in meaning for the reader’s understanding. Generally a simple
formal tone and style is used in academic writing, avoiding colloquial, idiomatic, slang, or
journalistic expressions in favor of precise vocabulary (Rao, 2016).
English is acknowledged passport to better education and employment opportunities. English language plays a
crucial role to weave the world into a single thread. English has a status of a second language in almost all the
countries where it is not the first language. To acquire simple language for day to day communication is main
aim of learning any language. In turn, today’s workforce is expected to be highly competent to continually improve
skills and engage in lifelong learning (Ahmad, 2016).
English is the language which connects people from different regions, cultures, religions, and nations. Brown and
Lee (2015) claim that “English is increasingly being used as a tool for interaction among nonnative speakers” (p.
163). Among the four language skills, speaking seems to play more important role in communication (Zaremba,
2006). Chastain (1988) views speaking “as one important element in developing each language skill and
conveying culture knowledge” (p. 271). Considering the significance of accuracy, more attention is drawn to
fluency in achieving communicative purposes in conversations.

Local studies
Business groups are urging their member companies to test the English proficiency of their applicants and
employees in order for the industry to have an accurate picture of the Labor force’s language skills.
Officials of American chamber of commerce of the Philippines and the Makati business club (MBC), both involved
in the promoting English proficiency program with the education department, said companied should noy just
donate to and support English language improvement programs. They should spread the use of the language in
their own environment by regularly testing their employees’ language skills and by using standardized test.
Officials said the regular testing and the use of tests like the Test of English as foreign language or TOEFL would
not only make thir employees aware of their gaps and skills, it would also improve and benchmark the coun try’s
English language proficiency. (By Kristine L. Alave, Published November 17, 2006 in Business world
Online)
Graduating college students, particularly those taking up to business/education courses must take a note of a
recent study revealed their English language proficiency at only the level of basic working proficiency. This
particular level of proficiency indicates that ‘the person hardly understands native english speakers, or speakers
of english vis international meetings, or could they sustain fluency & accuracy, plus discuss topics of general
interest using non-elaborate structures’
One often hears comments abvout high school graduates of yesteryears having better command of the English
language than the college graduates of today. This deterioration is manifested in several ways incorrect
grammar, lack of fluency in the language, poor reading comprehension skills and poor writing skills among others,
Clearly, Filipinos are losing their competitive edge with regard to English abilities. Our claim that we are the third
largest English speaking country in the world does not live up to it’s rank. (By Tess B. Macasinag. August 4,
2011)
Foreign literature
research study, the data collected suggest that speaking is the most difficultl to develop, students usually
present lack of vocabulary, shyness and fear of being humiliated; besides, the authors explain that students
show evidence about the importance of implementing games in classroom for improving the speaking skills.
Urrutia & Vega (2006)
study, the participants expressed that games allow more than a half of students to improve communication in a
second language; there were involved an experimental group and a control group, in the first one 21% of the
students considered that they were not able to speak better, but in the second group only 11% although in
experimental group learners enjoyed more games activities. Rama, Ying, lee & Luei ’s (2007)
present findings on teaching speaking skills through group work activities saying that the results of the project
were the preferred inasmuch as students showed participation in speaking group activities highlighting
motivation, interest, and they demonstrate contributions in team work as well as improvement in individual
speaking activities. Ham z ah & Ting (2009)
argues that as students learn to use English in the classroom setting, they should also be involved in learning
about how language works. They should be asked to reflect on various aspects of language, to develop a
common language for talking about language, and to use this knowledge to evaluate texts critically in terms of
effectiveness, meaning and accuracy. ‘Someone who speaks well would similarly understand when to use
different grammar points. Cotter (2007)
assigns three areas of knowledge that influence oral communication effectiveness: social knowledge, self-
knowledge, and content knowledge. If any one of these is weak oral communication will be somewhat
impaired. Other problems that hinder oral communication are: dominating the conversation, using
inappropriate volume and pitch, using excessive small talk ignoring someone and constantly interrupting
people. Back lund, (1990)
