Frequently Researched Topics in English Language Theses and Dissertations: Basis for Future Researches

Abstract Theses and dissertations take a resounding part in catering the needs of the learners in education. To be fully aware of the topics chosen is one of the eminent pointer to remember when conducting a research. This qualitative descriptive research reviewed the frequently investigated topics of the theses and dissertations of masters and doctoral students who were specializing in the field of language education in the graduate program of the School of Teacher Education, Saint Louis University (STE - SLU). The researches were treated according to the five (5) macro skills in the English language. It was found out that of the five (5) macro skills, speaking is the frequently investigated topic from 2011-2014 followed by reading, writing, listening, and viewing. It is then a challenge for the researchers to explore on the other areas of the macro skills especially viewing since there are no studies conducted yet in this skill. Keywords: macro skills, listening, speaking, viewing, writing, reading, language education

Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal , 2023

This study aimed to determine the performance of the grade 7 learners in five macro communication skills in English language learning at Cotabato City National High School-Main. Campus. Specifically, it determined their performance in listening focused on stress and intonation, speaking focused on correct production of vowel and consonant sounds and pitch levels, reading focused on comprehension and use of appropriate reading style, writing focused on writing purposes and sequencing sentences, and viewing focused on identifying meaning of signs and symbols and use of structural analysis. Finally, it determined the skills they performed best and worst. Thus, the subjects of this study were the 728 grade 7 students of CCNHS-Main Campus in the school year 2022-2023. Their performance in five macro communication skills were measured. The researcher used a quantitative descriptive design particularly teacher-made test in listening, speaking, reading, viewing and writing. The test questionnaire was based on the K-12 Curriculum Guide competencies which consisted of 50 test items for the five macro communication skills and divided it into 10 test items in each skill. Furthermore, after conducting the test, the results were analyzed and interpreted and came up with an output which is intervention materials in macro communication skills in English (listening, speaking, reading and writing). The intervention materials aims to help the grade 7 students in improving their communication skills namely listening, speaking, reading and writing. The findings revealed the following: the performance level of the grade 7 students in listening, speaking, and reading are all described as "did not meet expectations"; the grade 7 learners' performance in viewing skill is found to be in the "very satisfactory" level; in writing skill, the grade 7 learners' performance level is described as "fairly satisfactory"; their performance level in five macro communication skills is described as "fairly satisfactory"; and the learners perform best in viewing while they perform worst in reading. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the grade 7 learners are good viewers but they have very poor performance level in terms of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The following recommendations are offered based on the findings and conclusion: the language teachers should utilize different strategies and activities to help improve students' deficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing; there is a need for students to involve actively in interactive activities in school or watch English tutorial videos in speaking and listening to enhance their listening and speaking skills, likewise, they may also engage in writing tasks to eventually overcome their deficiency in writing and they may expose themselves in different reading texts or books in order to improve their reading comprehension level; the school administrators should provide opportunities for the students to develop and to enhance their communication skills through different events conducted inside and outside the school such as seminar-workshops, trainings, and academic festivals or contests; the intervention materials constructed as an output should be used by the language teachers to remediate learners' learning gaps; language teachers should integrate viewing English programs activity to enhance the students' speaking skill; the Department of Education and school administrators should intensify monitoring the efficient implementation of reading programs under DepEd and see to it that all schools implement it, teachers need to implement the reading program religiously; and future researchers may conduct further study about the students' English communication skills using different setting and respondents to validate the results of the study.

This study used descriptive research design to identify the factors affecting the development of the productive macro skills in English of randomly selected junior high school students in a private school in the Pagsanjan, Laguna, Philippines. Both the speaking and writing skill level of the students are good. Listening to English songs was given the highest rating as to perceived effectiveness. Moderately effective also are watching English movies, reading English books, using social networking sites, reading magazines, and playing video games. Result of multiple regression analysis revealed watching English movies contributes most to level of writing skills. Whereas, reading English books contributes most to the level of the speaking skills of the students' other factors such as using social networking sites and listening to English songs also have significant influence to speaking skills. Thus, the use of English movies on lectures in writing is recommended. It may be used as springboard or as evaluation activities. English teachers may also incorporate the use of social media, and different books during class discussion and activities. Speaking and writing skills are an important part of communication. Thus, activities that will gear towards developing these productive macro skills in English are encouraged.

Kumaravadivelu proposed Macro Strategies which is he believed provides prospective guidelines for teachers to develop their own classroom teaching techniques. Thus, this study was accomplished to upsurge students speaking skill and their engagement personally in learning English. The purposive sampling was used asthe participants who were selected had the specific aims to meet the criteria. Two English teachers and theirs' 40 students are chosen as the participant in conducting this study. This study applied qualitative case study which was still in ongoing process of research. There were two kinds of instrument to collect data, classroom observation, and interview to teacher and students. From preliminary research showed that not all teachers applied the indicators and the strategies of macro strategies from Kumaravadivelu. Teachers' consideration were varied in selecting the strategies. Educational background, teaching experience, row input of the students and school facilities became the core reasons of not conducting all strategies. It was also found that students' engagement in cognitive, emotional, and behaviour were increasingly better as they felt learning was fun and interesting. Students' speaking skill were also showing step up even though not in significant result to all students.

The efficacy of macro-linguistics in developing reading skills, 2010

Studies regarding reading skills have been carried out for a long time. However, the bond between linguistics and foreign language teaching, especially reading skills, has been frequently overlooked. Thus, this study which aims to emphasize the importance and need of linguistics offers an alternative way of dealing with reading texts. In this context, after reviewing the literature about some major fields of macro-linguistics such as, pragmatics, neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics briefly, a relationship is established between the interdisciplinary areas listed above and foreign language teaching, mainly reading skills. The study is intended to help foreign language teachers to enrich their teaching reading experiences via keeping the core fields of macro-linguistics in mind. Thus, as an implication, an integrated lesson plan is developed in the study to demonstrate the efficacy of macro-linguistics in developing reading skills. Based upon the observations conducted, aforementioned plan highlights that the students are kept aware and motivated, reflect their experiences, have ideas about the register and intralingual and interlingual vernaculars of the language displayed in the text. The data is collected through student observations, performances and samples of their works. The results of the study indicated that foreign language students' comprehension levels of a reading text could be increased with the realization of macro-linguistics.

Knowledge in four macro-skills (i.e., listening, speaking, reading, and writing) are needed by learners for effective communication. The consistent search for improvement on these macro-skills helps promote self-development, effective communication and success in many different environments and context. Learners are motivated by opportunities that may come during learning of macro-skills which in turn allow the skills to subconsciously grow and develop naturally within the learner. This study aims to evaluate the performance and difficulties in English language macro-skills of freshmen Vietnamese students in selected Colleges in Bacgiang City. It made use of the descriptive method of research. The subjects of the study are 299 first year college students taking up basic English course in the three colleges in Bacgiang namely: Ngo Gia Tu College, Industry and Technology College and Vocational College. The data gathering instrument used is a teacher-made test. Results of the study sho...

Each skill of English language and the mastery of non-natives over these skills are always ambivalent not only for achieving a good conceptual knowledge but also for maintaining a sound communication in basic arenas like education, business and conversation. The futility to understand the spoken or written text puts the nonnatives far behind and they even cannot make out what is taught as a part of learning. This paper will concentrate on the basic components of English language such as reading, listening, speaking and writing on the one hand and theimpediments faced by the second language learners(L2 learners) in academic arena and working environment on the other hand.The discussion will be made on the ground of experiential knowledge which includes direct observation and theoretical analysis which facilitate the learners to possess more information and dictum of experts analyzing these issues. In addition to the strategies stated above, a number of experiments applied among the L...
