CHAPTER I

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

This chapter discussed the introduction and background of the study.


It also includes the statement of the problem, conceptual framework, scope
and delimitation, significance of the study and the definition of terms in order
for the readers to fully understand this study.

Background of the Study

English language acquisition (ELA) has become increasingly important


in today’s globalized world. The ability to communicate effectively in English
opens doors to educational opportunities, career advancement, and cross-
cultural understanding. However, for many students, particularly those
learning English as a second language (ESL), the process of acquiring
fluency can be challenging. Traditional instruction methods, which often
emphasize rote memorization and grammar drills, can be ineffective in
fostering genuine understanding and practical language skills (Ellis, 2003).
For students in the Philippines, where English is a second language,
mastering this skill is crucial for their future success.

The Philippines' educational system has long placed a strong emphasis


on developing English language proficiency among its students. This focus
stems from the country’s colonial history and its current position as a major
player in the globalized economy. English serves as a vital tool for Filipinos
to access educational opportunities abroad, participate in international trade
and business, and connect with the wider world. Recognizing this importance,
the Department of Education (DepEd) has implemented various policies and
programs to promote English language learning in schools. These initiatives
include the use of English as the medium of instruction for several subjects,

JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

particularly in science and mathematics, from the early grades onwards


(DepEd Order No. 74, s. 2010). Additionally, DepEd has established
curriculum guidelines that emphasize the development of all four language
skills – listening, speaking, reading, and writing – in English.

However, despite these efforts, concerns have been raised about the
effectiveness of current English language instruction methods in the
Philippines. Critics argue that traditional teaching approaches, which often
rely heavily on rote memorization, grammar drills, and teacher-centered
lectures, may not be the most effective way to develop students’
communicative competence (Villanueva, 2018). These methods can be seen
as teacher-driven, with students passively absorbing information rather than
actively engaging with the language. Furthermore, a focus on grammar rules
and sentence structures may not translate well to real-world communication,
where fluency and practical application are more crucial.

Several factors contribute to these limitations. One issue is the sheer


number of students in many Filipino classrooms, which can make it difficult
for teachers to provide individualized attention and cater to diverse learning
styles (Estrada, 2016). Additionally, a lack of resources and training for
teachers can hinder their ability to implement innovative teaching methods
and create engaging learning environments. This can lead to a monotonous
classroom experience that fails to capture students’ interest and motivation.
Another concern is the limited opportunities for students to practice their
spoken English. While the curriculum emphasizes all four language skills, the
reality in many classrooms is a heavy focus on reading comprehension and
grammar drills. Students may not have enough opportunities to engage in
conversations, role-playing activities, or presentations that allow them to
practice using English in a communicative way. This lack of practice can lead
to a situation where students can understand written English but struggle to
speak and understand the language in spoken form.

Traditional instruction methods for English language learning, while


having a long history in education, often present limitations in fostering a well-
rounded acquisition of the language. These methods typically center around
textbooks, repetitive grammar drills, and teacher-led lectures, heavily relying
on rote memorization and passive student participation (Harmer, 2007).
While this approach can establish a foundation in basic grammar and
vocabulary, it may not cater to the diverse learning styles and needs of
students in today’s classrooms (Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005). Furthermore,
the teacher-centric nature of traditional instruction can limit opportunities for
students to develop crucial 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking,
problem-solving, and collaboration, which are essential for effective
communication and success in a globalized world (Partnership for 21 st
Century Skills, 2019). Students may find the repetitive drills and lectures
disengaging, leading to decreased motivation and hindering their ability to
truly grasp the intricacies and nuances of the English language (Oxford,
2003). This lack of engagement can also limit the development of fluency and
confidence in using English for real-world communication. In conclusion,
while traditional methods have a place in education, their limitations
necessitate the exploration of alternative approaches that can create a more
interactive, student-centered learning environment that fosters not only
language acquisition but also the critical thinking and collaborative skills
necessary for success in the 21st century.

In recent years, a shift towards more engaging and effective methods


for English language learning has led to the rise of activity-based learning
(AABL). This pedagogical approach prioritizes student-centered activities
that move beyond rote memorization and passive listening. AABL lessons
incorporate a variety of engaging formats, such as games, simulations, role-
playing exercises, and project-based learning, all designed to foster active
participation, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. Proponents of AABL
highlight its potential to make learning English more enjoyable and motivating

JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

for students. This increased engagement is believed to lead to improved


outcomes, including enhanced vocabulary acquisition, stronger grammar
retention, and a deeper understanding of the language as a tool for
communication. Furthermore, AABL activities can promote the development
of essential 21st-century skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and
creativity, which are valuable assets not only in language learning but also in
various aspects of life (Partnership for 21st Century Skills, 2019). Research
suggests that AABL can be a successful approach for fostering English
language acquisition in students. However, the effectiveness of AABL
compared to traditional instruction methods in specific contexts, such as
among Grade 10 students in the Philippines, requires further investigation.
This study aims to address this gap in knowledge by conducting a
comparative analysis of traditional instruction and activity sheet-based
learning, a specific form of AABL, to determine their relative effectiveness in
promoting English language acquisition among Grade 10 students at John
Paul College.

A growing body of research investigates the effectiveness of activity-


based learning approaches, including activity sheet-based learning, in
promoting English language acquisition. Studies highlight the positive impact
of these methods on various aspects of language learning. For instance,
Yamin and Hassan (2018) conducted a study where students using activity
sheets in their English classes exhibited significant improvements in
vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension compared to students
receiving traditional instruction. This suggests that activity sheets can
enhance core language skills through engaging activities. Similarly, Wong
(2013) explored the impact of activity-based learning, which often
incorporates activity sheets, on the classroom environment. Their findings
demonstrated that this approach fostered a more positive learning
atmosphere and increased student engagement. This indicates that activity
sheets can contribute to a more stimulating and interactive learning

JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

experience, potentially leading to deeper understanding and retention of the


material. Furthermore, research by Macário (2014) examined the use of
activity sheets for vocabulary development. The study found that students
using activity sheets demonstrated greater vocabulary gains compared to
those relying solely on textbooks. This suggests that activity sheets can be
effective tools for targeted skill development.

The ever-evolving landscape of education necessitates continuous


exploration of new and effective methodologies. While traditional instruction
methods have served as the cornerstone of language learning for decades,
concerns regarding their ability to cater to the diverse needs of 21st-century
learners are rising (Langenbach, 2019). The potential of activity-based
learning, particularly through the strategic use of activity sheets, to foster a
more engaging and interactive learning environment has garnered significant
interest from educators. However, the effectiveness of this approach
compared to traditional methods within the specific context of Philippine
Grade 10 classrooms remains largely unexplored. By conducting a
comparative analysis of traditional instruction and activity sheet-based
learning for English language acquisition among Grade 10 students at John
Paul College, this study seeks to contribute valuable insights to the ongoing
dialogue about optimizing English language teaching methodologies in the
Philippines. The findings of this research can inform educators, curriculum
developers, and policymakers in their efforts to create a more effective and
engaging learning environment that empowers Grade 10 students to achieve
their full potential in English language acquisition.

activity sheet-based learning in student perceptions in terms of engagement
and motivation?

The following null hypothesis was tested in this study:

There is no significant difference between traditional instruction and


activity sheet-based learning in student perceptions in terms of engagement
and motivation.

Theoretical Framework

Constructivism (Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky)

Constructivism emphasizes the active role of learners in constructing


their own knowledge. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development posits that
learners progress through stages of intellectual development, actively
building upon their prior experiences to understand new concepts. Vygotsky’s
sociocultural theory highlights the importance of social interaction and

8
JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

collaboration in learning. Students learn best through interaction with peers


and more knowledgeable others, with language serving as a tool for social
construction of knowledge.

In the context of this study, constructivism suggests that traditional


instruction, which often relies on passive learning through lectures and rote
memorization, may not be as effective as activity sheet-based learning.

Activity sheets encourage active participation, allowing students to


manipulate language, solve problems, and collaborate with peers. This active
engagement with language facilitates the construction of deeper
understanding and promotes language acquisition.

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) (Wilga M. Rivers, Jack C.


Richards)

CLT emphasizes the importance of developing communicative


competence, which goes beyond simply knowing grammar rules and
vocabulary. It focuses on enabling learners to use language effectively in
real-world situations. This includes developing the four language skills
(reading, writing, listening, and speaking) in an integrated way, with a focus
on fluency and accuracy.

Activity sheet-based learning aligns well with the principles of CLT. By


engaging students in tasks that require them to use language for
communicative purposes, activity sheets promote the development of all four
language skills. Students may be asked to complete tasks such as dialogues,
role-plays, simulations, or projects, all of which encourage them to use
language functionally and in a meaningful context. Traditional instruction,
with its emphasis on grammar drills and rote memorization, may not provide
students with sufficient opportunities to develop communicative competence.

CHAPTER II

Review of Related Literature and Studies

A comprehensive understanding of a research topic requires


examining existing knowledge and findings. This chapter presents a review
of relevant literature and studies on a Comparative Analysis of Traditional
Instruction and Activity Sheet-Based Learning for English Language
Acquisition of Grade 10 - Pasteur at John Paul College.

RELATED LITERATURE

Foreign

A substantial body of research has explored the effectiveness of


activity-based learning (ABL) in promoting second language acquisition
(SLA). McDonough and Littlewood (1995) investigated the use of ABL
approaches with adolescent English as a Second Language (ESL) learners.
Their study found that ABL led to significant improvements in students’
communicative competence, particularly in fluency and speaking skills.

Furthermore, Dörnyei (2001) explored the motivational benefits of ABL


in language learning. He argues that ABL fosters intrinsic motivation by
providing learners with a sense of autonomy, choice, and control over their
learning process. Engaging activities can spark curiosity, increase enjoyment,
and make learning English more meaningful for students.

Building on this idea, Gibbons (2009) emphasizes the importance of


tailoring activities to meet the diverse learning needs of students in his work
on scaffolding learning with differentiated instruction. Activity sheets can be
designed with varying levels of difficulty and with embedded scaffolding
techniques to support learners at different proficiency levels.

Despite the documented benefits of ABL, research by Brown (2001)


highlights the importance of careful design and implementation of activity-
based approaches. Brown emphasizes the need for clear learning objectives,

13
JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

well-structured activities, and effective assessment strategies to maximize the


effectiveness of ABL.

In conclusion, these studies provide strong evidence for the positive


impact of ABL on student motivation, engagement, and language acquisition.
This research lays the groundwork for investigating the potential effectiveness
of activity sheet-based learning as a strategy to enhance English language
acquisition in Grade 10 students.

Local

A study by Cruz (2018) investigated the effectiveness of activity-based


learning (ABL) in improving the English language proficiency of Filipino
students in an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) context. The study
involved Grade 10 students and compared their progress in traditional lecture-
based classes to those using ABL techniques. The findings indicated that
students in the ABL group showed significant improvements in grammar,
vocabulary acquisition, and overall communicative competence compared to
the traditional group.

The study of Santos and Reyes (2020) explored the use of


differentiated instruction with activity sheets to cater to the diverse
learning needs of Filipino students in English classes. The researchers
designed activity sheets with varying difficulty levels and incorporated
scaffolding techniques to support students at different proficiency
levels. The study found that this approach led to improved
engagement, motivation, and language acquisition for all students,
promoting inclusive learning environments.

Research by Mendoza (2017) examined the challenges and


considerations faced by Filipino teachers when implementing activity-based
learning (ABL) approaches in their classrooms. The study identified factors
such as large class sizes, limited resources, and the need for teacher training
in ABL methodologies as potential hurdles. The research suggests that

14
JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

successful ABL implementation requires careful planning, appropriate


materials, and ongoing professional development for teachers.

RELATED STUDIES

Foreign

Lewis and Vaughan (2000) conducted a comprehensive study


investigating the effectiveness of activity sheets in language learning. Their
year-long research involved two groups of English as a Second Language
(ESL) learners: one group received traditional instruction, while the other used
activity sheets designed to promote active engagement and student-centered
learning. The results demonstrated significant improvements in vocabulary
acquisition, grammatical accuracy, and overall communicative competence in
the activity sheet group compared to the traditional instruction group. The
study highlighted the benefits of activity sheets in providing learners with
opportunities for self-discovery, collaboration, and practicing language skills
in a meaningful context.

Sheen’s (2007) research focused on the role of scaffolding in activity


sheet-based learning for language acquisition. The study explored how well-
designed activity sheets can provide support for learners at different
proficiency levels. Sheen’s findings indicated that activity sheets can be
effectively differentiated by incorporating varying levels of complexity,
scaffolding techniques, and clear instructions. This allows learners to
progress at their own pace and build confidence in their language abilities.
The study emphasized the importance of tailoring activity sheets to cater to
the diverse needs of learners in a classroom setting.

Benson’s (2011) study explored the potential of activity sheet-based


learning to promote learner autonomy in language acquisition. The research
involved a group of adult learners using activity sheets designed to encourage
self-directed learning and independent practice. The findings suggested that
activity sheets can foster a sense of ownership and control over the learning

15
JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

process. Learners appreciated the flexibility and variety offered by activity


sheets, allowing them to choose tasks that aligned with their interests and
learning goals. This study highlights the potential of activity sheets to
empower learners and cultivate self-directed learning habits.

Richards (2001) offered valuable insights into designing effective


activity sheets for language learning. His research emphasized the
importance of clear learning objectives, engaging tasks, and opportunities for
formative assessment. Well-designed activity sheets should provide learners
with a sense of purpose, guide them through the learning process, and offer
feedback mechanisms to monitor progress. Richards’ work highlights the
importance of careful planning and development when implementing activity
sheet-based learning in the classroom.

Local

The work by Manalang (2020) examined the challenges and


opportunities associated with implementing ABL in Philippine classrooms.
The study involved interviews with teachers and observations in Grade 10
classrooms. The research identified challenges such as large class sizes,
limited resources, and teacher training needs. However, it also highlighted
opportunities like fostering student autonomy, promoting collaboration, and
aligning with the K to 12 curriculum emphasis on learner-centered
approaches.

A case study by Reyes (2021) explored the effectiveness of Activity


Sheet-Based Learning (ASBL) for Grade 10 English learners in a Philippine
school. The study implemented a series of activity sheets focusing on different
English language skills over a semester. The findings suggested that ASBL
could be a beneficial strategy for promoting independent learning,
encouraging active participation, and improving student motivation.

16
JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

Another recent study by Almario and Santos (2023) specifically


investigated the use of activity sheet-based learning in Philippine EFL
classrooms. Their research involved Grade 10 students and compared their
learning outcomes using traditional textbooks to a curriculum incorporating
activity sheets focusing on various language skills. The results demonstrated
that the activity sheet-based learning group achieved statistically significant
improvement in their grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension skills
compared to the traditional textbook group.

Lastly, Bautista (2020) investigated the effectiveness of activity sheets


in developing speaking skills among Filipino Grade 10 students. The study
compared a group using activity sheets focused on speaking tasks (e.g., role-
playing, dialogues) with a control group receiving traditional grammar-
oriented instruction. The results demonstrated significant improvement in
speaking fluency, vocabulary usage, and overall confidence in speaking
English for the ASBL group. This suggests that activity sheets can be a
valuable tool for developing essential communication skills.

LITERATURE AND STUDIES SYNTHESIS

Research supports the positive impact of ABL on student


motivation, engagement, and language learning. Studies by McDonough
and Littlewood (1995), Dörnyei (2001), and Gibbons (2009) highlight how ABL
fosters communication skills, intrinsic motivation, and caters to diverse
learning needs through differentiated instruction. However, Brown (2001)
emphasizes the importance of well-designed activities and clear learning
objectives for successful ABL implementation.

Local studies in the Philippines echo these findings. Cruz (2018)


and Santos & Reyes (2020) found that ABL approaches significantly improved
students' grammar, vocabulary, and overall communication compared to
traditional methods. Mendoza (2017) identified challenges like large class

17
JOHN PAUL COLLEGE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION

sizes and limited resources, but suggests careful planning and teacher
training can address them.

Shifting the focus to Activity Sheets, research demonstrates their


effectiveness in promoting various language skills. Lewis & Vaughan
(2000) found significant improvement in vocabulary, grammar, and
communication for students using activity sheets compared to traditional
instruction. Sheen (2007) emphasizes the importance of scaffolding
techniques in activity sheets to cater to diverse learners, while Benson (2011)
highlights their potential to promote learner autonomy. Richards (2001)
underlines the need for clear objectives, engaging tasks, and formative
assessment in designing effective activity sheets.

The Philippine context also highlights both challenges and


opportunities for ASBL. Manalang (2020) identified similar challenges as
Mendoza (2017) but emphasizes opportunities like fostering student
autonomy and aligning with the K to 12 curriculum. Studies by Reyes (2021),
Almario & Santos (2023), and Bautista (2020) all showcase the effectiveness
of ASBL in promoting independent learning, active participation, improved
motivation, and development of various language skills, including speaking
fluency.

In conclusion, both ABL and ASBL offer promising strategies for


enhancing English language acquisition. They promote student engagement,
cater to diverse needs, and can be designed to target specific language skills.
While challenges exist in the Philippine context, careful planning, appropriate
materials, and ongoing teacher development can lead to successful
implementation and improved learning outcomes for Filipino students.
