CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Social media is one of the current forms of media that have diverse qualities and

characteristics. Today, the use of social media is growing day by day at a significant rate.

It is in this domain that students can virtually meet with their classmates and their

teachers. They can communicate issues that are of significance and are related to their

learning process. This study is aimed to explore how social media could affect the

English learning skills of the students in terms of their vocabulary and grammar and to

find whether social media can enhance and improve the performance of students in their

English language proficiency.

Hudson (2017) stated that social media refers to websites and applications that are

designed to allow people to share content quickly, efficiently in real time. Learning is an

important thing in the learning process. Learning is a process to get knowledge of a

subject or skill by study, experiences and instruction, learning English is a process of

getting knowledge about English skill. They are listening, speaking, writing, reading

skills. The students of English Education Department must master English well. Learning

English is one of the important things for English majors. Most of the students of English

Education Department learning English with technology resources as internet media.

Social media can help learning English because there is active participation,

collaboration, and exchange of opinions, ideas, information, or messages between social

media users. The basic principles of social media, namely social interaction between

1
users, are in line with language theory from cognitive theory to socio-cultural theory,

which emphasizes collaboration and social interaction in the construction of science.

With this theoretical assumption, there are many uses of social media to improve English

language skills. However, this role has not been widely known, especially at the higher

education level ( Alghasab M, & Alfadley A. 2018). Many students use social media for

personal interaction and learn English, but the extent and how they use social media to

improve their English skills is still relatively unknown.

Social media in our modern world context is like a wrecking ball that breaks the

walls of exclusivity to improve interconnectivity in our pluralistic society. New

information from different cultures and races regardless of distance trigger our interest to

participate in online interactions because of the luxuries and abundance of accessible

information it offers for our daily usage. Through these, we are obviously aware that

modern technology became part of human development especially in the field of

education.

Nowadays, social media has changed the way how people communicate,

convey ideas and connect to others. There are some reasons why social media is also

popularly used in the field of education, such as it is used by students and the people

widespread; it offers a characteristic that other teaching media doesn’t have; and more

importantly, it also brings some changes towards the conventional value and concepts of

students’ learning process Joosten, T. (2012).

When it comes to learning English, social media also has a strategic place.

Many studies have been conducted to investigate the role of social media in English

language learning. Based on the results of a study, it was reported that learning through

2
social media is much more effective than traditional learning without social media, and

collaboration is a learning strategy that is useful for improving one's second foreign

language (I. M. Alfaki,& K. Ibrahim, 2014). Through social media is a form of internet

network usage. For students, various types of social media contents and communication

without geographical boundaries can be learning media to practice English. In other

words, social media can be a medium to practice English. Practicing through social media

can be conducted flexibly, everywhere and every time. The advantage of the media is

minimalizing of shyness such as verbal communication in English. Social media can be

used for daily practicing to improve English skills.

According to its dean, Rosario Alonzo, the University of the Philippines College

of Education ensures this by emphasizing to its students that English is a skill to be used

for communication. Education students focus on learner-centered teaching, and are taught

to ask learners to do meaningful tasks using English. She also said that future teachers

should ensure that English is a means of communication, rather than a set of facts to be

learned. In the same way, the Department of Education focuses on the needs of learners

and ensures that they learn the English language holistically, as specified under the K-to-

12 basic education framework.

The rapid evolution of technology facilitates the birth of fast growing of social

media tools that are increasingly being used by students in social and academic settings.

In academia, social networking sites are deemed as valuable in language learning as their

community-centered design supports the dissemination of authentic language, and

encourage meaningful interactions beyond the classrooms. As students are ready for

technological changes in learning (Akhiar, Mydin, & Kasuma, 2017), it is time that

3
higher education institutions harness their potential to better serve the students’ creative

needs. At present, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are also serve to facilitate online

communication, interrelation and cooperation.

Social media networks have influenced all the socioeconomic, political,

educational and personal aspects of life. In the area of education, a significant number of

research studies have been conducted to gauge the effectiveness of these networks in

different disciplines. Linguistically speaking, the influx of linguistic output on social

media represents a myriad of opportunities for language learners to process language and

receive input as young users of social media networks spend more than half of their days

using and interacting on these networks using their language and communication skills.

Hao, Y et al (2019) The teaching of English as a second language requires an

effective strategy that could help students understand the language better. Ideally

speaking, the teaching of English in the classroom must not only cover theoretical

knowledge but also practices on how to use the language properly related to the topic

being taught. This idea of providing sufficient language practice is supported by the

results of previous studies.

Social media can help learning English because the basic principles of social

media are in line with language theory which emphasizes collaboration and social

interaction in the construction of knowledge. Hao, Y et.al (2021). There is no doubt that

English is the most dominant language people use on the internet. However, with the

increasing demands of faster communication, various notable changes have occurred.

People seem to always be in a rush to pass messages across sometimes without the

concerns of using proper English. Fundamentally, language evolves, and this is no

4
exception to the language used on social media. One of the most significant effects of

social media on verbal and written English is the appropriation of vocabulary (Dalzell &

Victor 2017).

According to the Information Resources Management Association (2016),

there is the likelihood of a general weakening in proper language skills because most

conversations on social media are full of abbreviations, misspelled words, and

abbreviations. Hoffmann and Bublitz (2017) explain this scenario by pointing out that

most social media communication is concerned with being pragmatic and that the highest

priorities are accessibility and mutual comprehensibility. While, abbreviations and

improper language use may be comprehensible among teens and young people, older

people sometimes have problems understanding the modern informal language. However,

for many people, the use of informal language as influenced by social media seems to

have made English simpler, but the ability to communicate deep thoughts is perhaps

eroded (Zappavigna, 2012).

However, as the role of the internet in the dissemination of information has been

perceived positively, its contribution to academic research is profound. The internet is an

archive of a full spectrum of resources and information. Therefore, a student can enhance

his or her learning needs by searching for the desired content on the Internet. The focus

of the current study is to investigate the role of social media as a learning resource to help

English to enhance their English language proficiency of the students.

The law and ordinances aligned with this study of learning English is in

consistent with the 1987 Constitutional Mandate and a declared policy of the National

Board of Education (NBE) on bilingualism in the schools (NBE Resolution No. 73-7,

5
s.1973) the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) promulgated its

language policy. The policy was first implemented in 1974 when DECS issued Dept.

Order No. 25, s. 1974 titled, “Implementing Guidelines for the Policy on Bilingual

Education. “Bilingual education in the Philippines is defined operationally as the separate

use of Filipino and English as the media of instruction in specific subject areas. As

embodied in the DECS Order No. 25, Pilipino (changed to Filipino in 1987) shall be used

as medium of instruction in social studies/social sciences, music, arts, physical education,

home economics, practical arts and character education. English, on the other hand is

allocated to Science, Mathematics and Technology subjects. The same subject allocation

is provided in the 1987 Policy on Bilingual Education which is disseminated through

Department Order No. 52, s. 1987. The policy on Bilingual Education aims at the

achievement of competence in both Filipino and English at the national level, through the

teaching of both languages and their use as media of instruction at all levels.

The Medium of Instruction from DepEd Order 31 s. 2012, referenced by DepEd Order 31

s. 2013, specifies (a) that Filipino is the Medium of Instruction for Filipino from Grade 1

to Grade 3; it also specifies (b) that English is the Medium of Instruction for English from

Grade 1 to Grade 3. Both contravene RA 10533’s provision that (a) Basic education shall

be delivered in languages understood by the learners as the language plays a strategic role

in shaping the formative years of learners, and (b) For kindergarten and the first three (3)

years of elementary education, instruction, teaching materials and assessment shall be in

the regional or native language of the learners.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the Use of Social Media in Enhancing English Language

Proficiency among Bachelor of Secondary Education in St. Anthony College Calapan

Inc.

Specifically, the study seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the extent of social media such as Facebook and YouTube in enhancing

English language proficiency of the students in terms of;

a. Grammar

b. Vocabularies?

2. What is the extent of student performances in English language proficiency in

terms of;

a. Interest;

b. Student’s competency;

c. Motivation?

3. Is there a significant relationship between the use of social media and enhancing

the English language proficiency of the students?

Research Locale

This study will be conducted at St.Anthony College Calapan Inc. S.Y. 2020 – 2021. This

school is located in Bayanan II, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro.

7
The St. Anthony College Calapan Inc. as part of Calapan City is an institution that is

committed to giving a high quality of education to its learners even in the sight of a

pandemic by providing a different kind of learning for them with the unwavering support

of the parents, community and the public sectors, with a strong faith in God and inspired

by the caring leaders of the Commission on Higher Education.

St. Anthony College Calapan Inc. staffs provides quality education and services to every

learner and parents that will help their children to have a better future and develop and

enhanced their creative thinking skills in terms of different tracks and courses.

Framework of the Study

Theoretical Framework

According to Krashen’s (1985) Input Hypothesis, people learn the

language through their exposure to input or reading texts. A person, having an access

to considerable amount of comprehensible input, is likely to correctly acquire and

produce the language. Considering that true in this study, Filipinos must be flooded with

significant amount of input by reading through different means like the social media,

where English is widely used.

Vygotsky, during the late 1970s, formed the theory called social

constructivism. It highlights the role of other people in learning, emphasizes that

language is more intrapersonal than interpersonal (Vygotsky 1978), as cited in Jones &

Brader-Araje, 2002). Through these interactions, social media made the language

8
learning and acquisition even more convenient through various connections and

communication opportunities online.

The children’s vocabulary or language is directly derivative to their

exposure to their environment. Social interactionists ’notion, as well, expresses that the

acquisition of a language happens when children naturally interact with more language

proficient adults (Rudd & Lambert, 2011) through “physical, linguistic, cognitive

and social” factors (Cooter & Reutzel, 2004). One limitation of this theory though is

that when a person interacts and picks up incorrect and inappropriate type of

language from others in real life or in social media.

The interactive nature of the Internet plays a big role in

producing a highly communicative linguistic context or environment (Black, 2005).

Non-native language speakers who join online forums and communities and participate in

discussions are potentially highly exposed to the native language in interaction with

the native language speakers, and are engaged in a great number of meaningful

conversations. Socialization enables the language “novices” to learn from those who are

“experienced” in most speech communities (Duff, 2002).

Language learning through socialization is more than an

exchange of meaningful and grammatically-sound conversations in community-based

sites. It deeply involves various cultural aspects as well. Language socialization is “a

matter of learning to use language in socially and pragmatically appropriate, locally

meaningful ways, and as a means of engaging with others in the course of—indeed, in the

constitution of everyday interactions and activities.” (Garrett, 2008,p. 190). Social media

is a very broad topic that it cannot be put into a single definition. Granting the term has

9
no technical meaning, people have roughly defined social media as: A web-based

consumer-generated collaboration of knowledge (Xiang & Gretzel, 2010);

A “group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and

technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of User

Generated Content.” (Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010) and, “text, words, pictures, videos, and

the like created with the intention of sharing.” (Evans,2012). Despite the definitions

presented, the idea of “sharing” will never be lacking in defining this term. The context

of social media work is generally perceived as having the presence of communication,

exchange, sharing, mutual relationship, groupings the like.

Even though the social media tools or platforms are vague, versatile, and

diverse, some scholars opted to systematically classify these social networking

sites according to their common functions. These social media applications, tools, and

sites had been categorized into broader aspects as for communication, collaboration,

education and entertainment, specifically for Social networking, Publish, Photo sharing,

Audio, Video, Microblogging, Live casting, Virtual worlds, Gaming, Productivity

applications, Aggregators, Rich site summary, Search, Mobile, and Interpersonal (Safko

& Brake, 2009).

Feuerstein, et.al (2003) also stress that the way learners interact with others

determines their success in language learning and culture transmission. Interaction or

cooperative learning indeed plays an integral role in language learning. McConnell

(2000) summarizes the benefits of language learning through socialization as

follows: “helps clarify unclear concepts; develops critical thinking skills; gives and

avenue for information sharing; develops communication skills; gives a context where

10
learners can learn in a social context; and provides a place for validation of one’s

thoughts through conversation, multiple perspectives, and argument”, (p.16).

Developing learning processes through the integration of technologies to

learning is a trend to educators around the globe. Teachers usually make use of Twitter,

Blogs, Facebook, YouTube, or Flickr in the students’ writing process. Using social media

in the writing process makes it creative and interactive through online technology and

environment (Nichols, 2007). That said, the contemporary society expects today’s

learners to be harnessed with up-to-date technical skills, equipped with the tools

that will make them “participate fully in public, community, creative and

economic life” (New London Group, 2000, p.9). The trend promotes not just text

construction skills but also social skills.

These theories that come together in this current study seek to discuss the context of how

the social media are affecting the English language learning. Consider these theories true

and relevant, not many studies had been done on them. This study tried shed some light

on this timely issue that affect the learning of English language of the students. This

knowledge could help give information about the use of social media in English language

proficiency of the students.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter highlights the literature and studies related to the research work both foreign

and local that serves as guide of the present investigation. The aim of this chapter is to

present other literatures and studies to support this research. Aside from that it will serve

as a guide to conduct this study well.

Klimova, B., & Pikhart, M. (2020). Social media has become increasingly

popular components of our everyday life in today’s globalizing society. It provides a

context where people across the world can communicate, exchange messages, share

knowledge, and interact with each other regardless of the distance that separates them.

Intercultural adaptation involves the process of promoting understanding through

interaction to increase the level of fitness so that the demands of a new cultural

environment can be met. Research shows that people tend to use social media to become

more integrated into the host culture during their adaptation and to maintain connections

to their home countries.

16
 During the last decade, the inception of the evolving and phenomenal facets of

social media networks has been a fundamental breakthrough that has played a major role

in the lives of millions of people. According to the latest data available on Statista (2020),

there are around 3.96 billion social media users across the globe. Social media networks

range from microblogs such as Twitter and sites and applications such as Facebook,

YouTube, Tumblr, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Snapchat.

According to Selwyn (2012) Facebook, as one of those media, has been

globally ranked as one of the most used social platforms ever created with 1.86 billion

users (facebook.com). It has come to yield unprecedented opportunities for foreign

language teachers and learners alike, as it offers them the possibility to exchange limitless

numbers of text messages, images, and videos. Such options can give those users and

language learners, in particular, the opportunity to practice with new texts and learn new

vocabulary through interaction, especially if it extends over time.

As regards educators, they can benefit from Facebook by using it as a

platform to post different kinds of materials (texts, images, graphs, and video), to be

worked upon, edited, added to and shared among their students to attain intended

objectives. Hence, the teaching experience can be more accessible and centered around

students, as more room is given to learners to collaborate and an atmosphere of

conviviality and creativity is enhanced among them.

As stated by Wamba & Carter (2016) Social media have been continually

changing the people’s way of living in various aspects such as communication,

knowledge exchange, commerce, and education. With the increasing popularity of

various social media sites and other related platforms, scholars and researchers from

17
different fields keep finding them to be an area of study that needs to be explored

further.

Language practitioners and educators in particular have seen the impact of

social media in second language acquisition and learning. In a recent study, it was found

that a certain group that received learning, engagement, and motivation through a social

media site has shown higher outcomes in an English proficiency test compared to the

group that received education on a face-to-face basis.

According to Steckman & Andrews (2017) Popular social media tools under

these categories include Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Myspace, Blogger, Wikipedia,

Flickr, Picasa, iTunes, YouTube, Twitter, Second Life, World of Warcraft, Google Docs,

Digg, RSS 2.0, Yahoo! Search, Google Search, Jott, and Skype. Among other Asians,

Filipinos have been showing an “overwhelmingly strong” presence in the social media by

accessing mostly the abovementioned sites or apps.

Rivera (2012) stressed that language proficiency involves the effective use of

language to accomplish different objectives or importance to the language user, and

reflects linguistic competencies in multiple dimensions. One dimension of competence is

simply the level of accuracy achieved by the language user. Individuals who become

proficient in a language possess a complex set of skills which enable them to effectively

express their thoughts and ideas, and to derive meaning from their vast array of personal

experiences.

According to Walaski (2013) with the 330 different Internet-based programs

created at the end of 2012, language learners are likely to experience the communication

18
process and pick up of the language in blogs and microblogging sites, social networks,

professional networks, video sharing networks, and content-driven communities.

However, with such a vast and text-flooded avenue, people must learn to filter the

information they receive to get the academic and right kind of input.

As stated by Boyd and Ellison (2007) concluded that students are more

likely to access social networking domains on the internet, particularly at their

institutions. He also added that some schools have gone ahead and banned access to these

social sites. A significant number of students and the general population spend a lot of

their time on social networking sites. Thus, it is logical to say that social media influence

their English speaking and writing skills. The selection of the right platform for learning

a language leads to a positive effect and, hence, significantly contributes to their language

learning (Huffman, 2010; Wong & Looi, 2010).

Social media should also be adopted by universities because the concept of learning itself

is undergoing dramatic changes due to the unprecedented development in communication

technology. Learning is no longer individually accumulated by attending teacher-centered

lectures and tutorials; it is now based on “principles of collective exploration, play and

innovation” (Selwyn 2012, p.3). Today, learning is seen as the learners’ aptitude to

access databases and information hubs anytime anywhere they need to. Students

nowadays live in a more dynamic, information-dependent and connected world. They

have grown into information-hungry group-dependent individuals on the go, whose thirst

for

knowledge can only be quenched by offering them the possibility to be socially and

scientifically connected to other communities of learners around the globe, with whom

19
they can instantly exchange information to evolve into more knowledgeable individuals.

In terms of concrete measure concerning those students, the evaluation of their

assignments and coauthored works should be reconsidered in the light of their use of

social media (Selwyn, 2018). Ways to support and supervise students using social media

should be reconsidered and

traditional institutional courses should be repackaged via motivating discussion groups or

pages monitored or moderated by leading students.

Local Literature

According to Gamboa (2014) discusses the increasing prominence of the

internet in the world community, the use of internet-based courses especially for

advanced study where the student already has a decent grounding of the subject. This

especially holds true for the study of English. Gamboa (2014) e-learning is only

applicable for student in Philippines, who knows very little English but is ashamed or

embarrassed to study in a regular classroom. Although it is advisable for beginning

students to study in a real classroom environment and where total immersion is still the

most effective way to learn the basics of the language, online classes are becoming more

of a logical choice for its anonymity.

As cited by Lazarro and Mandela (2012) focuses on the study of English

as a language of communication in Philippines. They argue that Filipinos lack

proficiency in English language and have therefore lost valuable opportunities in

development of education because of lack of proficiency in English language. The lack of

linguistic abilities in English could also hamper the use of technology in Philippines. This

20
study is specific to Philippines but does not address the issue of use of technology in

Filipino class rooms and resulting unintended consequences of use of technology in

teaching and learning.

Foreign Studies

According to Anwas, E., et al.(2020) the students need to be encouraged by

using English-language social media contents in order to improve their English

proficiency. It is known that there is significant relation between use of social media

content and English proficiency. So, the use of social media is much needed in learning

English. Types of social media are very diverse. Likewise, the contents and other

facilities can attract millennial generation as a place to practice, practice and habituation

in learning English

One fundamental interaction pre-requisite is the acquisition of target

language vocabulary. Sim and Pop (2014) focus on the effects of social media, notably

Facebook, in developing students’ English vocabulary. Besides, social media were shown

to be effective in developing the areas of language production, as proposed by Chartrand

(2012). Chartrand argues, following Swain (2007), that production is an integral part of

language learning. Chartrand claims that social media can assist students in learning the

language through the use of podcasts and videos. In the same vein, Woo et al. (2007)

maintain that multimedia materials can enhance students’ motivation to learn the

language.

21
 Kamnoetsin (2014) found that the Facebook platform assisted students in

developing their grammar, vocabulary, and writing, as it helped them share information

and acquire new knowledge. Moreover, the platform proved to be useful in updating

students about modifications regarding their courses, as an online information center.

Facebook, therefore, was shown by the above studies to be a useful tool for enhancing

language skills such as writing and reading. In writing, users may gain experience

through composing various messages, and in reading they have the chance to read a

variety of new messages. Thus, they have the opportunity to learn new words in authentic

contexts.

Alsubaie and Madini (2018) researched whether blogs contributed to writing

improvements among English learners. Researchers employed a quantitative method with

experimental design. Both researchers used students‟ blogs to get the needed data for the

study, primarily to assess the level of improvement after intervention. They found that

blogs were useful and helped learners improve their skills in writing. Additionally,

learners also improved their English vocabulary.

Awada and Ghaith (2014) did a similar study on blogs where they investigated

their effectiveness in improving writing proficiency as educational tools. Researchers

used an experimental pretest-posttest method and collected data using tests administered

on leaners. They found an improvement in the proficiency of English language writing

after intervention with blog posts. Awada and Ghaith concluded that the use of blogs as

educational tools could effectively make the work of teachers and learners efficient and

effective.

22
 According to Al Arif (2019;225) social media provides opportunities to

increase students’ English language skills. Social media provide fun learning resources so

that it makes the student’s interest learn English language skills by using social media.

Ahmed (2016) researched Facebook effectiveness in helping students who were learning

English as a foreign language (EFL) improve their grammar. He employed a quantitative

methodology with a quasi-experiment on randomly selected classes that used Facebook

to study grammar as well as essay writing. The researcher found that Facebook helped

students improve their writing skills and grammar. Facebook enabled more integrations

with other students and teachers, where they could ask questions to improve their English

language.

Based on findings it indicated that a range of social media especially

Instagram and Facebook are used by the students. Consequently, the students spent more

time in using social media for general purposes than English learning purposes. However,

they showed positive attitudes towards the use of social media in English language

learning. The students perceive that social media plays an important role to improve their

English language skills. Furthermore, it promotes social media use and encourages

students to use social media to improve their English language skills (Al Arif 2019-244).

Another study by Alqasham (2018) investigated English language leaning

mediation using virtual social networks. The researcher also examined the students‟

perception and experience in WhatsApp and Twitter groups in leaning. Findings indicate

that students have positive attitudes to social networks in their everyday lives, although

the perception of their application in classrooms may be negative.

23
 According to Hao, Y. et.al (2019) conducted a study on the effectivity of using

mobile application de-signed within cognitive domain on facilitating students to face

difficulties in learning English as a foreign language. The result of the study reveal that

the use of mobile application can improve the learning of English as a foreign language.

The application designed is approved to be an effective tool for learning English, though

regarding to the students’ perception, this application still needs some modifications to

make it more adaptable

Local Studies

According to Cabrera (2018) based on the study it transpired that social media

have positive impact in English language learning of their users. However, they can also

have downsides and threats that interfere in one’s learning of sound English language.

The internet-based social media sites can be effective platforms in providing up-to-

date information, considerable amount of language input, interaction with native

language speakers, and innovative learning. But the same media can also distract the

language learners with all their misinformation, unscholarly and ungrammatical content,

obscene language, and artificial kind of human interaction.

Cawagdan et. al. (2012) in their study entitled "Performance in English Plus of College

Freshmen: Basis for Strategic Intervention" emphasized that English as second language

in the Philippines has been an indispensable subject in the educational system of the

country. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the memorandum order

number four (4) series of 1997, provides the offering of English Plus as a subject or a

course to update skills of students before they are allowed to enter into a regular English

24
subject. The subject is commonly given to first year or freshmen students entering

college.

The following statistical data will be utilized in this study.

Descriptive Statistics

For Descriptive Statistics, the researcher will use the Arithmetic Mean to

determine the average responses of the respondents for each indicator.

The formula is as follows:

μ=ΣX/N

Where,

μ = arithmetic mean

X = score or value of each item

ΣX = sum of all the scores

N = population size

Inferential Statistics

31
 For inferential Statistics, Pearson’s Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation or

Pearson’s r will be used to test the null hypothesis.

The formula is as follows:

"r"=(NΣxy-(Σx)(Σy) )/√(〖〖[NΣx〗^2-(Σx)^2][NΣy〗^2-(Σy)^2])

Where,

r = Pearson’s r

Σx = sum of all the x values

Σx = sum of all the y values

(Σx)^2 = square of the sum of all x’s

(Σy)^2 = square of the sum of all y’s

〖Σx〗^2 = sum of all the square of x

〖Σy〗^2 = sum of all the square of y

Σxy = sum of all the product of x and y

N = number of cases
