Abstract

The study on Pop Culture and English Language Motivation was a descriptive correlational study conducted among the ninety-five (95) AB-English students at the University of Mindanao-Matina Campus, Davao City. This study aims to discover the prevalent relationship between the use of pop culture and English language learning motivation. Adopted questionnaires were utilized as a research instrument to gather the data, which were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's r correlation. The study also used total population sampling to select the number of respondents. Based on the findings, there is a high level of pop culture use, particularly on other media platforms, such as English cinema, music, and mobile phones. Moreover, AB-English students have a very high integrative and instrumental motivation to learn the language. Finally, the overall correlation for both variables suggest a moderate positive correlation with a threshold of 0.567, implying that learners with a high-level use of pop culture media are more likely to be integratively and instrumentally motivated to learn English, especially when using other media platforms, such as English cinema, music, and mobile phones.

Abstract

This phenomenological study aimed to unshadow the failed experiences of the Licensure Examinations for Teachers (LET) examinees, how the examinees cope with the failed experience during the LET, and the insights they have on their experience. The study utilized a qualitative design using a descriptive phenomenology approach, with ten failed LET examinees selected through snowball sampling. The researchers used Colaizzi’s Method of Data Analysis as a data analysis tool. The results revealed that the experiences of failed LET examinees are associated with themes such as Time Management, Unpreparedness, Learning Environment, and The Effect of the Support System. Moreover, the study revealed the coping mechanism of failed LET examinees with the themes: Negative Reinforcement, Diverting attention to other things, and Good Support. Furthermore, the failed LET examinee’s insights showed the themes: Setting goals, Health and Expectations, and Integration of Optimism and Pessimism. The analyzed findings of this study unveil the various experiences encountered by the failed LET examinees and how they cope. Thus, this study contributes significant knowledge to examinees who will take the LET in the future and will retake the LET.

Abstract

The study on ICT Engagement and Digital Competence of Preservice English Teachers was a descriptive correlational study conducted among 103 preservice English teachers at the University of Mindanao-Matina Campus, Davao City. This study aimed to identify the levels of ICT engagement and digital competence of preservice English teachers and examine the prevalent relationship between the variables. In gathering the data, this study adopted questionnaires and sampled the total population. The data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's r correlation. Based on the findings, the preservice English teachers have a high level of ICT engagement and a very high level of digital competence. Moreover, the correlation between the variables is moderate, positive, and direct with r-value of 0.427, which suggests that ICT engagement is a construct of digital competence—the more regulated to engage in ICT a person is, the more competent they would become in using ICT. Moreover, the results specify that ICT-related training and support given to language teachers must revolve around troubleshooting digital issues and digital content creation. This study, as a whole, further explored, quantified, and discussed emerging interests in the role of technology in language education, addressing its empirical gap.

Abstract

This study aimed to unravel the relationship between error correction strategies and writing competency of students. There were 120 Humanities and Social Sciences senior high school students from three different schools in Davao City who were chosen as respondents using a purposive sampling technique. The students were asked to write a 10-sentence essay, 60 of which were corrected using Selective Direct Feedback and the other half with Selective Indirect Feedback. The researcher sought help from interraters who used a 5-point rubric in checking three areas of grammar: subject-verb agreement, tenses, and connectives. Three statistical tools were used: Mean Scores, T-test for dependent samples, and T-test for independent samples. Results revealed that before the use of the two strategies in the first set of output there were several errors in the written outputs, In the second set, after the use of the Selective Direct Feedback and Selective Indirect Feedback, there were fewer errors found in the essay. However, the reductions in errors were not significantly different between the two feedback methods.

Abstract

This qualitative corpus-based study employing epistemic analysis uncovered the epistemic modality (EM) markers used and their communicative functions in the seven inaugural speeches of the seven Philippine 5th Republic presidents. The findings revealed the preponderant use of epistemic modal verbs with 152 occurrences (81.72%), followed by epistemic lexical verbs with 20 occurrences (10.75%), epistemic modal adverbs with 9 occurrences (4.84%), and epistemic modal adjectives with 5 occurrences (2.69%). Moreover, the top-five modal verbs operated in the presidential inaugurals are will with 97 instances (66.9%), can with 28 instances (19.31%), shall with 9 instances (6.21%), would with 6 instances (4.14%), and could with 5 instances (3.44%). Meanwhile, should and might were never used by any president. In this regard, the presidents are confident, committed, bold, and certain with their statements; some are tentative and quite confident but still communicatively sensitive and polite; and few are uncertain but still diplomatic. Further, the communicative functions of the EM markers were categorized to high-intermediate-low modality values, certain-probable-possible semantic meanings, and close-near-distant epistemic distances.

Abstract

This qualitative corpus-based study aimed to identify the elements in semantic as well as analyze the relationship between an entity and its neighboring non-entity text found in disaster announcements and signages in Davao City. The study utilized social media and public signages as means of collecting data wherein disaster announcements and signages related to flood, fire, and earthquake are being focused. To analyze the data, the researchers used two parts of the process of semantic analysis namely Lexical Semantic Analysis focusing on elements in semantic and Relationship Extraction centralizing on entities and relations. The results exhibit that in those announcements and signages six (6) elements in semantics were commonly found namely Homonyms, Hypernyms, Hyponyms, Polysemy, Synonymy, and Antonymy in which each conveys different lexical meanings that affects the meaning of a sentence. Furthermore, a category of relations was found in the extraction process of the entity and non-entity text which are Description, Causation, Mitigation, Preparedness, and Response. These categories helped explain how each relationship formed with an entity can provide different meaning and different context. All things considered, copywriters of public service announcements for disaster announcements and signages should take note of the word choice and their arrangement and linkage when writing so as to have a better communication and understanding with the citizens to avoid vulnerability with risks.
