Abstract

English Communication Skills (ECS) are crucial in the globalized context, yet the Philippines' ranking of 77th out of 81 countries highlights a significant proficiency gap. Consequently, there is an urgent need for targeted intervention programs to address these challenges among Filipino students.  This research aimed to evaluate the English Communication Skills (ECS) of Grade 9 students at High School in Philippines, focusing on speaking and writing proficiency levels and the relationship between them, to develop an intervention program. Utilizing a descriptive research design with a quantitative approach, the study involved 40 Grade 9 students selected through random sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-made survey questionnaire, complemented by tests employing the WIDA Speaking and Writing Interpretive Rubrics for a detailed analysis of speaking and writing capabilities. The analysis was conducted using statistical methods to yield descriptive statistics and the Pearson R correlation for assessing the relationship between speaking and writing skills. The results indicated that while students perceived their ECS as satisfactory, the actual assessments did not meet the expected standards, and a very low correlation was found between speaking and writing proficiency. This gap emphasizes the necessity for targeted intervention programs tailored to the specific needs of students to enhance their ECS. The study concludes with the recommendation for developing pedagogical strategies that focus on the identified areas of improvement in ECS among Grade 9 learners.

Abstract

The study explored the syntactic functions of “kuan” in social media conversations and in the logs, reels, and shorts of various Cebuano content creators. Taking into account related studies on fillers, the researchers discovered that there is still no known study of its syntactic functions. Hence, the researchers will analyze the syntactic functions of filler words, specifically the Cebuano filler “kuan” used by content creators. Understanding the syntactic functions of these words contributes to the body of language research by offering some insights into people’s communication patterns on social media. This contributes to our understanding of the versatility of “kuan” within the context of social media use. The researchers will be using content analysis to examine how Cebuano content creators used ”kuan” in their logs, shorts or reels and analyze their syntactic functions. The researchers have concluded that "kuan" has various syntactic functions: subject, verb, object, subject complement and object complement.

Abstract

As coffee industries grow, the demand for good coffee is not simply enough nowadays. As a result, lexicons related to coffee, coffee beans, flavors, tools and equipment, and its processes are ever growing; hence, it can be considered “alive”. This study aims to gather coffee-related lexicons to create contextualized learning materials for Technical Vocational Learning (TVL) students, addressing the shortage of resources needed to enhance their coffee brewing skills. This study utilized two methods of acquiring data: 17 baristas from selected traditional coffee shops in the Philippines as participants of the study and books, articles and websites as the corpus of the study. Qualitative content analysis was used to identify common terminologies and their contextualized conceptual and operational definitions, as well as unique lexicons used by local baristas, which were then categorized into flavors, tools and equipment, and processes. After collecting 76 terminologies, it underwent thematic analysis and was categorized according to themes, such as coffee beans, flavors, serving sizes, tools and equipment, and processes. By incorporating these lexicons in the context of education, it will enhance students’ knowledge about coffee culture, industry practices and professional terminology, all of which are necessary for effective communication. This study contributes to the continuous evolution of language in the coffee industry by documenting and analyzing the diverse terminologies used.

Abstract

The article’s purpose is to examine the prevalence of sexuality in Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera by analyzing the impacts of the characters’ background/milieu on their sexuality, how sexuality is illustrated in The Phantom of the Opera, and how social and moral constructs influence the characters’ expression of sexuality. The researchers utilized Content Analysis and Psychodynamics. The results revealed that Christine’s excessive influence of male presence during childhood made her a masculine woman while Raoul’s excessive influence of female presence made him an effeminate man. Christine’s and Raoul’s respective traits balance each other; however, the existing social and moral constructs regulate their behaviors to express their sexualities. On the other hand, Erik’s lack  of masculine and feminine traits and key figures to follow hindered his development of morals and sexuality. Understanding the significance of the characters’ background and milieu in shaping their sexuality as illustrated in Gaston Leroux’s literary work urges readers and students to redefine the quality of the relationships they established.
