The Problem

This study aims to know what factors does the Grade 7 student affect
their speaking performance during English class.

Research Methodology
To identify the problem or the hindrance in speaking performance
during English class. The researchers utilized a survey questionnaire. The
study is primarily descriptive research because as defined by Gall, M. D.,
Borg, W. R., & Gall, J. P. (1996) it is use to describe a situation, subject,
behavior, or phenomenon. It is used to answer questions of who, what, when,
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX vi

where, and how associated with a particular research question or problem. It


is used to observe and describe a research subject or problem without
influencing or manipulating the variables in any way.

Findings

All 4 Factors that emphasizes in the statement of the problem which


are Listening Skills, Speaking Problems, Affective Factors and Environmental
Aspects. There were no problems in terms of Listening Skills and
Environmental Aspects while the other two factors shows that there were
difficulties in Speaking Problems and Affective Factors.

Conclusion

Majority of the respondents were having trouble in English speaking by


means of pronunciation, preferred medium of language and little knowledge in
using words to say. On the other hand the affective factors mainly focuses of
confidence in speaking English and Anxiety of committing mistakes as well as
struggles in facing large audiences.

Recommendation

The researchers recommend that make speaking English as a habit. In


this way the students will enhance these skills in communicating English
language. Align with it is there are many ways to improve foundation of
speaking which are watching movies or TV in English, with subtitles also
Listen to music in English and sing along. Music is one of the best tools for
learning intonation pronunciation as well as most natural way to learn
grammar is through talking and lastly practice and preparation can be a big
help for building confidence.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter presents the background of the study, the statement of the

problem, scope and limitation of the study, the significance of the study, and the

definition of terms uses in the entire study.

Introduction

Every people in the world can connect with each other through a system of

communication, and our message approach before anything else is language.

Language is communication system based upon words and words combination

into sentences. Language is totally people assets because other life beings do not

speak through communication system like human use language (Crystal, 2003).

Therefore, this communication system is needed for all human being. It helps us

to express feelings, desires, and most importantly it helps us interacting with one

another.

Language is very important in the daily lives of people since it is the means by

which people communicate. When we learn our native language, we usually learn

to listen first, then to speak, then to read, and finally to write. (Valeous, 2014)

emphasize the four essentials are known as foundation skills of language

learning. One general language for a whole nation is an important factor for good
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 2

communication. Language plays a prominent role in society. It is the way of

communication between yourself and others. In English language teaching and

learning, Speaking is one of the most demanding skills in the daily life. Every

people need to communicate with others through speaking. Furthermore, it has

become very important because it plays an important role in any life aspects.

Through speaking people can transfer ideas, opinion, and knowledge with others.

Through communication people can show ideas and knowledge easily and

clearly. It is a good way to show abilities. It could be said that knowledge is of

limited value if it is not applied, which through communication, we can show that

we are knowledgeable (Kurian, 1997). Therefore, having a good communication

skill is very essential. Not all language learners after many years studying English

can communicate confidently, and correctly. Good communication skill is not only

essential for good achievement in academic life but also for a successful future

career. In every organization, leader, manager and employee also effective

communication is an important element of success. It does not only help you get

the job you want but also help you become more successful in the job you have.

Background of the Study

This research as propose is all about students having difficulty to express

themselves by speaking English. Hindrance of speaking in English is one of the


MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 3

aspects of the research for us to formulate some conclusion by helping out other

students.

Bueno (2017) elaborate that speaking in a second or foreign language has

often been viewed as the most demanding of the four skills. Thus, the demand of

speaking fluently is high rather than other language skills, although the others

cannot be underestimated. English speaking skill requires the speaker to use the

dependable language where it means that the students need to use the language

in any occasions or when communicate with the other students in academic

context.

According to Arnold (2011), Teachers believe that oral communication

problems can be solved through more practices in vocabulary and structure,

learning and using language in a foreign perspective is strongly connected to the

learner constructions of self. In fact, achieving fluency in speaking is not easy.

Students are not only demanded to use grammar correctly or having good

pronunciation and vocabulary, they are also demanded to know the knowledge of

how to use the language. Communication problems occur because the learner

encounter a word they do not understand, a form of word they do not know how to

use, or find that they are unable to express their intended meaning.

Other problems that appear in student’s speaking are lack of self-confident

and anxiety. They may confront with certain feelings that affect their English

speaking such as unconfident, shy, anxious, nervous, and worry. If the students
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 4

themselves do not believe that they are able to speak, it has become a big

problem for them. (Stalin, 1976)

Speech difficulties can be affected by a person’s emotional state, A speech

is regularly clearer when a person is feeling confident and relaxed especially most

important factors to consider when connecting with people who have speech

problems so finding a way out for resolving speaking problems become very

necessary so that the student can speak English better. (Sjoberg ,2006)

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the review of related literature and studies which are

related to the study entitled a study of factors affecting speaking performance

during English class among Grade 7 students Cluster 1 of Muntinlupa National

High School – Tunasan Annex. It also contains review that included concept taken

from the books and published articles and findings from studies of the topic.

Foreign Literature

Students lack of confidence usually occurs when they realize that his/ her

partner do not understand while they are having a conversation. In this case, they

tend to keep silence rather than keep speaking English. Regarding to this, Liu

(2016) argues that the students lack of confidence in speaking English will

influence their speaking ability and aural comprehension.

Boonkit (2015) mention other common factors causing students anxiety

includes lack of vocabulary, lack of confidence, fear of making mistakes and

being laughed at, lack of preparation and shyness. Lack of vocabulary knowledge

could lead to the students’ difficulties in language reception and productions and

becomes an obstacle that hinders them to express themselves in English. Lack of

vocabulary was identified as a main cause for students anxiety in oral English
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 9

classroom. Inability to express the idea because of lack of confidence is one of

another cause of anxiety in oral English classroom.

According to Lucas (2017), People who converse easily in all kinds of

everyday situations become frightened at the idea of standing up before a group

to make a speech.

In today’s time and age, good communication skills are needed the most at all

levels. According to Raja (2015) that communication becomes one of the markers

of social solidarity, social ranking and professional capabilities and most of the

components of the language are learnt through this medium.

Speaking is retell, summarize, discuss, share, tell, persuade, argue, report,

recite, describe, comment, explain, sing, echo, repeat, read aloud, present, talk,

say, whisper, chant, announce, ask, and answer. It imply that the language is

produced by sounds in order to express ideas and feeling to other people, to

inform news, report, and to do something relating to the sound. (Haynes and

Jacarian, 2018)

Nunan (2017) added that speaking is the productive aural/oral skill. It consists

of producing systematic verbal utterances to convey meaning. It means that

speaking is how to make meaningful sounds to communicate one another. Also

Hoge (2015), denotes that students know a lot of English, they know a lot of

grammar rules. The problem is they can’t understand instantly and effortlessly.

others cannot speak clearly, confidently and effortlessly. People know about
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 10

English linguistics, the academic study of linguistics, nouns and verbs and

pronouns and phrases and clauses and different verb tenses, all of that stuff, but

they can’t perform. It is huge problem, all these adult students out there who just

can’t actually speak English well and understand it well, even though they know a

lot. Most schools, most programs and, indeed, most students in those schools are

focused on Academic English.

Local Literature

The problem is that many Filipinos feel intimidated by someone who speaks

fluent English. Senobio (2015) states that no language should be viewed as

superior to others. We teach and learn English not because it is a better language

than the others but because, for now at least, it is the global language for

business, media, science and many more human activities. If we are fluent in the

language, there will be no feeling of intimidation. English does not make one

better it makes one equal to others. Lack of practice is another problem. Students

have so little time to speak and write English.

Lasaten and Racca (2016) both agrees that Educators agree that proficiency

in the English language is the basis for success in academic pursuits. Reading,

writing, and working with numbers are tasks that are based on language skills

describes this as the interplay between everyday language skills and more

advanced communication skills.


MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 11

Indeed, language proficiency is a key to academic performance. A person

who does not know English, for instance, may not have access to the world’s

known scientific and technological discoveries that are predominantly written in

English. This means that students need to be proficient in English for a better

grasp of knowledge in Technology, Science, and Mathematics.

Using English more frequent only inside the class and less frequent outside

the class. Whereas, students’ have limited time to learn English in class, and they

still do not have enough encouragement to practice English outside the class in

order to get familiar with English. This case brings a problem that make senior

high school students have difficulties to communicate in English. Analysing the

causes that make the students difficult to communicate in English and suggest

some solutions that can overcome the difficulties. (Holmen, 2015)

Students difficult in speaking English are that the environment does not

support the students to speak English frequently. The environment here means

the people outside the class. People may think that the students just want to show

off when they speak English for daily conversation. The response that the

students get makes them loose their self-confidence to improve their speaking.

Since the students do not want to be rejected by the people around them, so they

use their native language in daily conversation.

Students unable to communicate in English fluently outside the class. Most

students are very easy to get confused with English grammar, while grammar is
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 12

much needed to form a right sentence others are very easy to get confused with

English grammar, while grammar is very needed to form a right sentence

moreover students do not have grammar mastery, of course they will not be able

to produce sentences that grammatically right. Realizing that the grammar

students have is very weak, so they feel embarrassed when they want to produce

English sentences orally (Verderber, R. F. Verderber, K. S., & Sellnow, D. D.

2016).

Foreign Studies

Tozcu (2016) amplified that according to his research, almost eighty out of

every hundred people experienced public speaking anxiety at a small or large

scale. Every four out of ten people rank public speaking fear as one of their top

three fears, often a fear more dreadful than death. Most psychologists refer to it

as an irrational fear which could be easily overcome.

Research of students anxiety in English speaking class focused on finding out

the types of anxiety, and the source of anxiety. The major findings of the study is

that the first, results of type of anxiety were found that there occurred two types of

anxiety, namely trait anxiety and state/situational anxiety. Trait anxiety is regarded

as a fixed stage of anxiety. This kind of anxiety is a part of a person's character

and hence is permanent, and it may hinder the language learning. State anxiety is
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 13

a normal physiological response; the feeling of anxiety eventually subsides, and

the person will then feel "normal" again. (Indrianty, 2016)

Ayurita (2018) identified that lack of English proficiency were weak in English,

some were afraid of making mistakes in terms of grammar, pronunciation and

arranging of words, and also their perceived lack of knowledge about the class

subjects that they were studying. The most frightening classroom situation

experienced by most of the students is when their perceived lack of English

proficiency is combined with their lack of knowledge or "unpreparedness" of the

topics in question. Factors contribute to their level of anxiety. Most of the students

were concerned about various kinds of evaluative situations in which their

knowledge and performance of English will be monitored by people around them.

They are conscious about the facial expressions of other students and also of the

lecturer. They are afraid if their audiences look bored and confused, and cannot

understand the information they are trying to deliver.

Local Studies

Department of Education asserts that students’ proficiency in Science and

Mathematics has a relationship with their language proficiency in English. Lasaten

and Racca (2016) emphasize that the study concludes that the students’

weaknesses in Science and Mathematics subjects are attributed to the students’

difficulty in English. As stated in his findings, the students’ difficulty in English


MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 14

included difficulties in making inferences and interpretations of information,

deducing meaning, drawing conclusions, and summarizing ideas. All these boil

down to problem on comprehension, leading the students not to understand what

they are reading. They are not developing proficiency in the language. They have

difficulty in expressing their ideas in spoken and written form. Obviously, the skills

in English are pre-requisites in learning concepts in Science and Mathematics.

The study concludes that students’ English language proficiency could be a

predictor in the students’ academic performance in Science, Mathematics and

English since the medium of instruction used in the teaching of the said subjects

is English. Thus, English language program in school should be prioritized.

Orbeta and San Jose (2017) found that language anxiety specifically

apprehension affected pronunciation, grammar, comprehension, fluency, and

vocabulary while tension influenced grammar. However, results generally

revealed no significant relationship between language learning anxiety and oral

performance. It is noteworthy to point out that tension; nervousness and worry of

the respondents do not affect their oral performance. It attributed awareness of

their weaknesses in the spoken English, to the length of time they were exposed

in learning the English language and to the type of learning environment the

respondents had.

Lack of self- confidence in speaking the English language towards their

superiors, colleagues and in public speaking situations. This filter is shown and
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 15

understood to be caused by lack of exposure and practice of the language. It

reveals that employees seldom had any exposure to the language since they are

more at ease with Taglish in dealing with their peers and superiors as well as in

public speaking situations (Arriola, 2018)

Berroya (2018) implies that the anxiety from students of Mindanao influenced

by different factors provided that foreign language anxiety is caused by

communication apprehension, test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation. It was

emphasize that communication apprehension happens when the learner is

challenged not only in speaking but also in comprehending messages from the

other. In the context of the present study, it could be possible that respondents do

not find the use of English to be very or less difficult particularly in oral

communication activities. It is very likely that they have enough self-confidence as

they do not seem to show extreme anxiety or confidence when they need to

communicate with people especially that English oral communication subject

performs dyadic interaction, group discussions and even public speaking.

Synthesis of the Related Studies and Literature

The literature and studies summarizes the problems of the student by means

of doing speaking skills during English class. First Most students hesitate to speak

English because what others may think if they find the error. They can laugh at

them or insult them. To be on safe side, they prefer to keep quiet or speak as little

as possible. Students tough in speaking English are that the environment does
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 16

not upkeep the students to speak English frequently. The environment here

means the people outside the class. Those people may think that the students just

want to show off when they speak English for daily conversation. The response

that the students get makes them unattached their self-confidence to increase

their speaking. Since the students do not want to be excluded by the people

around them, so they use their natural language in everyday conversation. That

makes the students unable to communicate in English fluently outside the class.

Also People are very easy to get confused with English grammar, while grammar

is much needed to form a right sentence. If the students do not have grammar

mastery, of course they will not be able to produce sentences that grammatically

right. Understanding that the grammar students have is very weak, so they feel

uncomfortable when they want to produce English sentences orally.

Students’ self-confidence involves judgments and evaluations about one’s

own value and worth and it is highly correlated with feelings of anxiety, that

although is not necessarily a bad thing since a certain amount of anxiety can drive

students in the quest to learn a language, it is also consider a negative affective

variable which prevent learners from successfully learning a foreign language,

because learners become nervous and afraid , which contribute to poor aural /oral

performance in the classroom. On the other hand, high self-confidence can be

positively correlated with oral performance (Indiantry, 2016).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the research design, population, sample, and sampling

technique, instrumentation, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment of

data to be use in the study of factors affecting speaking performance during

English class to the selected Grade 7 Cluster 1 of Muntinlupa National High

School – Tunasan Annex.

Research Design

The study is primarily descriptive research because as defined by Gall, M. D.,

Borg, W. R., & Gall, J. P. (1996) it is use to describe a situation, subject,

behavior, or phenomenon. It is used to answer questions of who, what, when,

where, and how associated with a particular research question or problem. It is

used to observe and describe a research subject or problem without influencing or

manipulating the variables in any way (Svensson, 1984).

According to Punch (2013) that it is important to gather information with

disruption of the subjects or when it is not possible to test and measure large

numbers of samples. It allows researchers to observe natural behaviors without

affecting them in any way. The study using the normal survey method, which

made use of the perception of the respondents about factors affecting speaking
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 18

performance during English class. This research method proves adequate factors

which is more accurate formation to be solved and to increase the quantity of

information needed.

Population, Sample, and Sampling Technique

This study concerns with Freshmen or Grade 7 students Cluster 1 of

Muntinlupa National High School – Tunasan Annex. The respondents of the study

consist of seventy five (75) students in a purposive type of sampling through

numerical handlings of data. We use this because according to Gravetter &

Forzano (2011) Purposive sampling also known as judgment, selective or

subjective sampling is a sampling technique in which researcher relies on his or

her own judgment when choosing members of population to participate in the

study. It also prove to be effective when only limited numbers of people can serve

as primary data sources due to the nature of research design and aims and

objectives.

Instrumentation

Frequency and percentage distribution of respondents according to age

shows that 33 out of 75 respondents or 44% were 12 years old while 32 of them

or 42.67% were 13 years old and the remaining 10 respondents or 13.33% were

14 years old. It further shows that majority of Grade 7 students of MNHS-TA were

in the age of 12-13 years old. According to Zhang (2009) In age of young

learners, the spoken language is the medium through which a new language is

encountered, understood, practiced, and learnt. Rather than oral skills being

simply one aspect of learning language, the spoken form in the young learner's

classroom acts as the prime source of language learning.

Figure 2. Figures of Frequency and Percentage of Gender of Respondents

Frequency and percentage distribution of respondents according to gender

shows that 36 out of 75 of the respondents or 48% were Female while the

remaining 39 or 52% were Male. It implies that majority of the respondents were

female because greater part of the population of the sophomores students in

Muntinlupa National High School Tunasan Annex are Male.

According to Mayor, B (2009), as they mature girls and boys increasingly

differentiate their language use to reflect their gender roles. Girls use more

indirect language than boys, and are more likely to modify their speech styles in

varying contexts. For boys, behavioural expectations are reinforced with

expressions like You throw like a girl, and Big boys don’t cry. As children

develop, these differences begin to show more clearly in language. They become

part of the communication style that is there for life.

respondents or 64% were answered always, while 18 of them or 24% answered

Often whereas 5 respondents or 6.67% responded Seldom and the remaining 4

of them or 5.33% of them answered never.

According to Hasan (2013), the problem is believed to cause by the habit of

listening to word by word. Others do not focus on any particular cues which help

them predict what is going to be talked about. However, in every listening task,

cues are provided indirectly that well-trained or experienced listener could

recognize it naturally. For instance, the title of the task can help learners to guess

the points coming next. In addition, prediction can be made by photos, maps,

charts or anything that provided in the listening. Besides, making questions

relating to the listening topic would keep students motivated and improve their

comprehension.

Active listening is a way of listening and responding such that the speaker

knows you’re truly interested in their ideas, concerns, and opinions. It involves

giving the speaker your undivided attention, withholding judgment, and being

mindful of your facial expressions and body language because nonverbal

communications to show your respect for the speaker. (Wenden, 2010)

Tozcu and Coady (2004) point out learning vocabulary is an important

aspect of language two and foreign language acquisition and academic

achievement and is vital to reading comprehension and proficiency, to which it is

closely linked.

answered seldom whereas 11 respondents or 14.67% responded always and the

remaining 8 of them or 10.67% of them answered never.

The incorrect pronunciation is often caused by the lack of sound similarity

between English and the students‟ native language. This is in line with what

Varasarin (2007) described that in this situation, the students wish they could

speak English fluently but most of them think that English is too challenging for

them to master. Regarding this, some expert view incorrect pronunciation has
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 30

been caused by instruction goal and the teacher himself and the teaching and

learning in this area which is inappropriate

According to Hetrakul (2015) also said that they use English more frequent

only inside the class and less frequent outside the class. Whereas, students’

have limited time to learn English in class, and they still do not have enough

encouragement to practice English outside the class in order to get familiar with

English.

Fernando Rubio (2007) states that one of the crucial obstacles for students’

academic success is oral skills for class participation. Oral participation and the

contribution of ideas involve not only information to be disseminated, but diligent

practice for presenting the information in an easy and understandable way; this

process almost always creates great stress for the students.

According to Rubio (2007) found that there are different learners’ factors that

may influence participation in a classroom such as unwillingness to participate

and fear of making mistakes in front of their classmates

Teachers can create recalling and sharing-experience opportunities

for students to make use of their background knowledge and experiences in

doing the tasks” to reach this, plenty time was invested to pre-teach oral

skills and strategies in preparing students for communicative tasks. After


MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 36

revising some theories and previous researches, oral projects

presentations, among other activities, seem to provide the space the

students need to express them, share information and interact with others.

English has become a global language and one of the most important

means of communication in a changing world where mass communication

and internet demand good knowledge of spoken English and it is one of the

most important skills to be developed. (Brown, 2006, p.57).

English speaking environment assays the learners with improved

motivation and allows them to focus on their English communication

MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 44

Recommendations

Based on the following conclusion, the following recommendations are

being presented by the researchers.

1. Watch movies or TV in English, with subtitles if you need them, and watch

the same programs over and over. Most people find that they understand

more each time. Listening helps you become familiar with the rhythms and

intonations of English.

2. Listen to music in English and sing along. Music is one of the best tools for

learning intonation pronunciation. Listening to and singing songs might

also help you remember vocabulary and it will help you learn to pronounce

English rhythm in a more natural way.

3. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Be confident. People can only correct

your mistakes when they hear you make them.

4. Surround yourself in English. Put yourself in an all English speaking

environment where you can learn passively. The best way to learn is

through speaking.

5. Keep a notebook of new words you learn. Use them in sentences and try

to say them at least 3 times when you speak.

6. Memorization of lists is one of the most common ways of learning

vocabulary for a test. It’s only a good exercise for short term studying
MUNTINLUPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL – TUNASAN ANNEX 45

because you often do not retain the information that you have learned for

a test.

7. The most natural way to learn grammar is through talking.

8. Use an English/English dictionary as it will help you to keep thinking in

English and not translating.

9. Practice and preparation can be a big help for building confidence. For

example, rehearsing and rewriting your English presentations can help

you to memorize the material. The more familiar you are with your

material, the smoother your presentation will go and the easier it will be for

you to speak with confidence.

10. Reviewing what you’ve learned does require you to spend more time on

learning English. However, this step can make a huge difference in your

confidence levels if you take the time to go over your newly learned skills.

The more familiar you can become with new English vocabulary and

grammar, the better your delivery of spoken English will become.

11. Lastly, think about being calm. Remind yourself to relax and use your

English knowledge.
