RESEARCH STUDY
The main objective of English as a tool subject is train the students in terms of
reading to attain comprehension and understanding what the ideas are being
conveyed, to express how proper diction and grammar should explained, let students
express through speaking and discussion the ideas they want to burst out from their
mind and how it is applied in a conversation, practice writing skills to let students jut
down the ideas that comes into their mind and express their ideas by using different
homonyms and other complex ideas that is being discussed in English.. In the
Philippines, English is our Second Language whereas, students are being taught
wherein Filipino students who reach high school level are expected to have
developed their reading comprehension, language and speaking and writing skills.
Elementary pupils, high school and college students are asked to comprehend,
listening attentively and writing legibly the context that is being conveyed by English
unfortunately some Filipinos lack the fluency, capability or mastery of identifying the
right words to speak, to write or express and some of our students and even our
teachers being observe that they are very shy or embarrassed to express
social conversations or even when they talked to foreigners or educated people who
knows how to speak. This is because some Filipinos feared that if they talked in
English they would be considered boastful which raised the eyebrows or even ire of
the listeners who usually insult those people who knows or tries to speak in English,
social climber and that is why some Filipinos do not even try to speak fluent English
and they usually do the “Taglish” or the “Barok-style” and even in social media, most
users as we observe, they hilariously or annoyingly used misspelled words that grew
confusion. Though, the Philippines the cheapest destination among foreign nationals
“especially Koreans and Chinese” for learning English in our country (or even the
graduating student from a college or post graduate degree) is not that costly.
Whenever the lesson is on reading, listening, writing or speaking it is
observed some of the students could hardly answer simple questions such as noting
details which concern on the literal questions that can be found in the text and are
directly stated. Most of them could not even make inferences about things not
directly stated in the text. Others have difficulty recalling previous knowledge which
they can make use to increase their reading comprehension, listening, writing or
speaking.
message. This understanding comes from the interaction between the words that are
written and how they trigger knowledge outside the text or message (Rayner,
Foorman, Perfitti, Pesetsky & Seidenberg, 2001) as cited by Pardo (2004). Reading
reading practice. Pressley (2003), as cited by Pardo (2004), stated that increasing
vocabulary, extensive reading and critical reading are some of the practices that can
be used to strengthen and refine the person’s ability to comprehend any text.
However, reading comprehension fails for a number of reasons. One of the reasons
is the lack of knowledge base. This deals on how much knowledge a reader has
about the subject he or she is reading. When the reader is more familiar with the
happenings in the text because they likely are similar in many ways to his or her own
life experiences then he or she can easily generate the necessary inferences from
the text.
Listening is the ability to hear and get information from the speaker, it’s one
way of comprehension also because you get the details and how the speaker state
the sentence according to the manner or expression of his speech. With this the
listener
will understand what the speaker between the lines and literally by the lines for it tells
us the two way meaning of what is he trying to say while discussing it to us.
Speaking is the ability to tell the context by proper diction, intonation and
stress so listener will understand what we are talking about so they will not be
One of the major tool subjects in our educational curriculum is English which
is important for it translates our cultural glory as a nation from the local or vernacular

printed media, in television, radio, in the field of teaching, economics and other fields
where the local language cannot translate some technical words used in the said
universal language. Being a tool subject, English help improves our reading
capability, tells our that we are a member of the community of nations and it is used
for diplomatic communications to encourage unity even if there is diversity and world
peace..
