Abstract

For communication students, effective speaking is a vital skill since it directly shapes how they convey ideas and engage diverse audiences in global contexts. While English serves as the language of international communication, barriers in language learning can hinder their ability to communicate clearly, confidently, and professionally across cultures. To that effect, the preparation for aspiring professionals in the field of media, public relations, advertising, and other related areas should commence promptly. With these considerations, the researchers opted to conduct a study that aims to identify the barriers affecting the English-speaking fluency of Bachelor of Arts in Communication (BACOM) students in one prime university in Cordillera Administrative Region in the Philippines. A quantitative-descriptive study was used with two hundred and seventy (274) randomly selected participants. The study revealed that BACOM students experienced linguistic barriers, specifically the inability to produce specific words to express their thoughts, as well as psychological barriers, particularly those associated with a lack of self-confidence which affects their English-speaking fluency. Moreover, there is no significant difference in the level of agreement of BACOM students in the barriers affecting their English-speaking fluency according to sex or year level, implying that the students' sex and year level have no influence on their English language proficiency. Ultimately, this study provides recommendations for future research directions.

Abstract

Writing and presenting research are endeavors that senior high school students have to hurdle in the Philippines. Therefore, this research aimed at unravelling the dimensions of the difficulties faced by senior high school students in their research writing and research presentations through a sequential qualitative mixed-methods design. Primary data was gathered through a qualitative survey of 448 students, while secondary data was obtained via 10 focus groups with 7-10 members representing the different strands in one private senior high school in Baguio City, Philippines. All these participants were selected using combined quota and purposive sampling. Thematic analysis coupled with an iterative procedure was utilized to treat the harvested qualitative data. Findings revealed that the dimensions of the difficulties faced by student-researchers in research writing are health-related, manuscript-related, people-related, and resources-related, while the dimensions in research presentations are inner-directed and outer-directed. This research adds to the current body of knowledge, can contribute to achieving the United Nations sustainable development goal 4.5 and 4.7 on equal education access and global citizenship skills, and recommends research trajectories.
