Foreign Language Needs Among Graduate Students of Marinduque State College
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 9, Issue 10
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the foreign language need of the Marinduque State College Graduate School students. The respondents were the 227 officially enrolled graduate students in the 1st Semester of the Academic Year 2022-2023. Mixed methods using quantitative and qualitative approaches were used in analysing the gathered data. The results revealed that most of the graduate students in MSC are young and mostly female, educators, and affiliated with the Department of Education. Based from the findings on the FL needs of the respondents, the graduate students prefer other Asian Languages, such as Korean and Chinese, as options for other Foreign Language courses aside from the Nihonggo and Spanish that were previously offered in MSC. Additionally, they also prefer language teachers who are knowledgeable about the culture and literature of the target language. The Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach is the preferred strategy in FL teaching through face-to-face modality. Based on the preference of the respondents, it is concluded that an assessment of FL needs is an integral part of assessing the overall needs of the graduate students of MSC for better higher education services delivery. The results could serve as reference in FL teacher selection, materials preparation, FL teaching strategies, and modalities to craft a responsive FL course that matches the need of the graduate students.
