STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The analysis was designed to compare the significant learning differences between the male and

female students of Taguig City University and how it affects to their academic performances through

lickert-scale. Specifically, it sought to find answers in the following questions:

1. What are the different factors affecting the gender roles in learning English language?

A. Physical factors

B. Environmental factors

C. Cognitive factors

D. Behavioral strategies

2. What are the teaching styles preferred by male and female students. ( VISUAL, AUDITORY,

READING-WRITING, KINESTHETIC

3. Does the gender equality issue affects the male and female students’ academic performance.

4. what are the male and female students’ perception with their teachers’ effectiveness and

competency in teaching?

5. What are the perception of the male and female students on who’s more dominant in learning

English language between the two genders.

Background of the study

Studies have shown that there is a difference in the way males and females process

English language in the brain. Experiment show that women use both sides of the brain while

talking and men only use the right side. Females are able to utilize the analytical side of the their

brains to help decode language whereas their male counterparts need more sensory input.

Studies from Europe, Asia and Latin America, barely recognize females as more

dominant in learning English language in a more holistic way. Their studies employ all four key

skills ( reading, writing, listening and speaking) and language elements (vocabulary, grammar,

etc.). Male peers generally keep to a narrow range of familiar study methods. Howeverwith the

increase in freely available digital resources such as podcasts, language apps and websites, this

situation may well change.

Females talk more. Most of us would probably not disagree with this statement, but

why is this more important to English language learning? It seems that women are better

communicators and build more social connections than their male peers. Because of that,

women tend to practice their listening and speaking skills often.

Clearly all the reasons above are based on broad generalizations. but we can all think of

at least one male friend who can speak two or more language fluently, who knows a lot when it

comes to English language. So whilst gender is a factor in English language learning, it’s not

considered the most important. Men too can make great language learners
