The Problem and Its Scope

Rationale

English language is being utilized by the individuals as a way of

communicating with various nationalities. Although English language is known as

a Universal language, there are still numbers of people who are not fluent with this

said language. The importance of this study is to determine if being inarticulate in

English language could affect the class performance of the BPE Students in Holy

Cross of Davao College.

English is the most spoken language in the world and also it is the official

language in a large number of countries according to Hirsch (2011). It is now

easier to communicate with other people from other country. In school, it is the

medium of instruction used by the teachers even in books that is used by the

students. It is not used only by the Americans but also by the Asian countries.

In Germany, Jenniferc (2014) stated that developing language skills is an

early predictor of success in school. Mastery of language is one of the

components to achieve something bigger. Using the specific language may lead to

success, understanding, peace and harmony to everyone.

In Brazil, Torres (2011) mentioned that good communication creates a good

ambiance and relationship between everyone in every organization most

especially if it is inside a business while English is now required in every company.

In order to be successful you must have sufficient English proficiency and reading,

writing, listening and speaking comprehension. English is mostly used when you

want to get a job for your resume and application letters.

In the Philippines Suelto (2012) cite that learning English aims at helping

students used the language effectively for real life purposes. Students need to use

English to become functional in professional, academic and social setting.

Learning the language can be challenging and time consuming. It is not easy to

learn the language but in the end you feel that everything you learn from the

language is worth it.

The society of honor, Philippines (2014) noted that English is the official

language of the Philippines. Thus, the number one reality is that the economy is

based on English, and successful workers and managers are fluent in English.

The language has become essential factor in strengthening trade and travel. It is

also a factor of business and looking for a job to hire fast and promotion. Besides

from that is widely used in communication through modern technology and media

communication devices such as mobile phones and the internet.

In HCDC, English is the easiest way to communicate other people. It is

indeed a universal language that is spoken by the people. Especially, when there

is an exchange student from the other country. It is easier for the students to

communicate to them by speaking the same language. It is now a way of making

friends with the students.

 Most of the local school in Davao, student must use English as an asset of

their performance not just in a school but also in their future career. English

nowadays are usual particularly in foreign jobs. Hence, there is a lot of advantage

by using this language since it is now a universal.
