Challenges in Learning English and Familiarity with Specialized Language: An Instrumental Case Study
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
English is widely regarded as the universal and the most widely spoken language in the world. However, some students need help learning English because they have been used to a specialized language they can only understand. Studies on improving English proficiency using coping mechanisms are effective in giving solutions to this problem. The problem is that they need to pay more attention to the problems faced by some students who struggle to learn English due to specialized language. Therefore, this instrumental case study explored the experiences, challenges, coping mechanisms, and insights of the Based-English students at Davao de Oro State College-New Bataan Campus. There were 5 purposively selected participants in the BSEd-English program who participated in this study. Findings revealed that they have various problems in learning English and use coping mechanisms to deal with it. In the results also, they suggested having programs and activities that will be helpful for the students to improve their English proficiency skills. The study ends with insights and recommendations that will be beneficial for the students to improve their English proficiency skills.
