Title: English Language proficiency and academic performance
Author: Avicenna J Med
Date Published: October 2015
It was also seen among our students that those who were fluent in English
perform better in terms of medical academic proficiency. We however had no
concrete data to support this observation. Theoretically, proficiency in English
language would play an important role in each component of the medical
assessment. The training in medical English, though limited, was assumed to
help students perform significantly better in formative assessment components
like student assignments, as they have more time for preparation. Our study
aimed to correlate English language proficiency with academic performance
among medical students in their preparatory year.

The article is relevant because it says English language proficiency is an

important factor in determining academic proficiency of students.

This study draws on qualitative and quantitative data to provide insights into
the international student experience from the perspectives of students and faculty.
It examines how English language proficiency affects academic and social
adjustment, identifies useful types of support, and considers the effects of English
proficiency on intercultural learning. Students are generally satisfied with their
proficiency, appreciate English as a Second Language courses, and feel their
English is improved through course work and social interaction. Professors feel
students' skills are adequate but could be improved, and report adjusting their
teaching approaches to accommodate non-native English speaker. Intercultural
interaction aids English development and intercultural growth, but students may
tend to remain within their own linguistic groups.

The students find it hard to communicate in some multi-linguistic student because
of lack in English proficiency.
Title: Student’s Proficiency in English Language Relationship with Academic

Summary:
To this effect, good language competence in English language may be a
positive predictive validity variable on the performance of students on intelligence
test. This and asserted when it was discovered that the measurements of
intelligence tend to reflect the learner’s mastery of language and in this sense
English language. It was on this note that the matter is serious because of the
influence English has on all the other subjects of the curriculum which invariably
pointed at the notion that students’ success in English language could influence
the overall performance of students in other disciplines.
In view of the findings of this study it is enough to conclude that proficiency in
English language is strongly related to students’ academic performance in science
and technical education. It is therefore very important to always ensure that
students who are admitted into these courses have good English language
proficiency.

The article says that English is very important in every aspect of every
student. Inside or outside the schools, which no doubt have positive impact on
academic performance of students in all fields.

Title: State of English in the Philippines: Should we be concerned?

Author: Mike Cabigon
Date Published: November 2015
Summary:
In a recent roundtable discussion organized by the British Council, key
stakeholders from the government, academe, private, and non-government
sectors acknowledged that even if the Philippines is doing fine in terms of English
competency, concerns on how much of a competitive advantage it still is for the
country were raised. The stakeholders agreed that the country needs to step up its
efforts in improving the teaching and learning of English, developing it as a vital
skill of the workforce. This is an initiative that could potentially strengthen the
Philippines' distinct advantage in this part of the world, particularly with the
upcoming ASEAN economic integration.

In relation to the proposed project, we should exert more effort in
enhancing our English proficiency to maintain our strength in English language
competency.

Summary:
Hopkins International Partners said Filipinos are ranked only third or fourth
among ASEAN countries in terms of English proficiency and that the Philippines’
proficiency is on the decline while others are on the rise.
There are also public officials who are concerned of the worsening
proficiency skills of the Filipinos. In facts, Senator Grace Poe has filed a resolution
calling for an inquiry into the decline in English proficiency of the Filipino students.

Summary:
Watching movies in English and listening to English spoken media is also
an effective way in improving English communication skills. Students nowadays
are highly exposed to music and films that are using the English language.
Although it has been observed that songs of today have a lot grammatical error (or
simply because of the writer’s choice to make the lyrics poetic), students tend to
adopt the way native speakers deliver the language.
Another helpful factor that students are being exposed to is the Internet where
sources of all information the need are always in their reach. Visiting websites,
reading different types of articles, and discussing topics in English help them
become confident in using English.\

Taking the help of technology can be an effective way in achieving higher
English proficiency. Interactive ways of learning can motivate students in exerting
more efforts.

Date Published: May 13, 2019
Summary:
Handheld language translation devices are designed specifically for
traveling with the best ones supporting two-way voice translation. This means the
device translates multiple people talking, in different languages, all at once so you
can have a full conversation without waiting for individual words or simple
sentences to be translated. We highly recommend the Birgus Two Way Language
Translator because of its 98 percent translation accuracy, 70 language database,
LED touch screen, noise reduction microphone, and overall convenience.

The device both has the capacity of producing results in audio. The proposed
project has high accuracy when searching for words. Also, the proposed project is
convenient for its size.

Summary:
The project brings a digital alarm clock that tells the time, weather and
tides. The project is based on the movie Ironman; Tony Stark’s voice command
assistant. It shows the current time and also provides a text box to set the alarm.
Use your stylus to set the alarm time and press on set alarm button. This will give
you a voice message stating that the alarm is set. Now just wait till the current time
shown on the 7-seg display is equal to the alarm time. When its equal the alarm is
triggered, this will again give a voice message with current time and day. This
alarm will repeat four times before the minute value changes.

The proposed project is similar to the above study that is because the
proposed project also can tell weather and humidity. It simply tells that the device
is able to do two jobs if it is programmed to.

Emitting Diode (LED) indicators which established the automatic features of the
device. Findings showed that the voice command module exhibited very high
efficiency with regard to its capabilities to recognize only identified and registered
voice commands. The device displayed very high efficiency in terms of
functionality and operation of the features of the device.
The proposed project ensures the efficiency and functionality of the device.
The sensibility of the device is in best condition.
