...Teaching is a way of communication. Teachers communicate through discussing, explaining, illustrating, and other teaching methods that convey concepts to the learners. Students receive information from their mentors but they can also obtain information and learned concepts through reading from other sources like reference books, charts, general references or even in the internet. Whatever ways of perceiving concepts among learners, whether through reading and listening, one factor that always hinder in understanding completely the concept being perceive and that is the language. Whatever the level of complexity of the concepts being received by the learners, they easily grasp and understood without difficulty of internalizing it if they are well acquainted with the medium of instruction used by the teacher or read in the reference book for they don’t need interpreting, elucidating the words, paragraph and sentences they have perceived. The reason why some second language user students found trouble in comprehending certain concepts it’s because aside from analyzing the concepts being perceived by its context, they also need to interpret the meaning of what they have heard or read, which needs knowledge and intensive background on the language grammar encountered which most of the learners are poor in it. Whereas learning is effortless and quick if the medium of instruction used is the native language of the learners for they do not need to further deduce and analyze the words...

...Assessment for the Difficulty of Speaking English by the Japanese People Introduction [1] “Almost Japanese get English education at a middle and high school. But the Japanese cannot speak English. Because Japanese educational administration regards grammar as important, but not speaking and listening” (Nangi, 2008). [2] Japanese people are labeled poor English speaker. Japanese people are well-known as diligent people. And Japanese students got good marks in an achievement test which was given all over the world. But there is a single weak point: English. While Japanese students are comparatively good at English Grammar, they are especially weak in speaking ability. This recent research paper gives people especially students the perceptions and comprehensions about the difficulty of speaking English by the Japanese. Japanese students experience great difficulty in studying English, one major reason being the great differences between English and Japanese. Japanese word order, the frequent omission of subjects in Japanese, the absence of articles, the absence of plurals, as well as difficulties in distinguishing l and r all contribute to substantial problems using English effectively. Indeed, Japanese have tended to score comparatively poorly on international tests of English. An additional factor has been the use of English in daily life for "decorative" or "design" rather than functional purposes. That is, for Japanese consumption, not for English speakers per se, and as...

Indeed, mastery of the field is needed and must be developed. Language, as a general thought has numerous definitions due to the fact that people would likely see things from various viewpoints. However, majority of the characterizations of language appears to be analogous with one another. Among the definitions, language is primarily a mental faculty that allows humans to undertake linguistic behavior: to learn languages and to produce and understand utterances (Haser and Fitch 2003). Furthermore, language is seen as a formal system of signs governed by grammatical rules of combination to communicate meaning (Trask, 2007). This definition stresses that human languages can be described as closed structural systems consisting of rules that relate particular signs to particular...

CAINGLET A research paper submitted to the New Era University research center Hanz Lumba Christine Keith Tercias Radnan Oneza Herminia Salamat Donna Valenzuela Shaira Martinez Marko Capili March 2013 IV-LEVI I. Background of the Study Students all over the world face a number of problems which dishearten them. There are so many issues they have to deal with- study, time, money, relationships, job hopes, and more. Parent’s previous experience and education does not always equip them in dealing with such pressures. Many students will not admit their problems due to various reasons and this may eventually hamper a student’s psyche. In Metro Manila, the most common problem a student encounter is their difficulty with certain academic subjects. Nowadays, most schools have five major subjects- Science, Mathematics, Social Studies, English, and Filipino. Although different opinions are made regarding these subjects, it is evident that certain factors affect the level of difficulty of the said subjects. One is the teaching method of the teachers. It is possible that the techniques, including the materials such as the visual aids or presentations used by the teachers, are not effective. Second is the student’s own knowledge and capability. Some are gifted with critical thinking and good analysis which make them perfect for subjects’ Math and Science; while others...

...further argument to state that English has become indispensable part of communication in the world. In Asia, almost each of countries has its own language which is extremely complex and quite difficult to understand. Hence, English is regarded as a bridge which helps information exchanges among Asian countries get to be more simply. It is fairly hard for Asian learners to use English correctly and effectively, especially speaking skill although they have been trained this language for a long time. When interviewing students from five Asian nations, Erlenawat has concluded that these learning difficulties are grounded in weaknesses in students’ prior learning experiences – focused on grammar and reading skills in classrooms, not conversational skills (Erlenawati Sawir, 2005). Vietnamese students are not exception of these problems and they are getting trouble with finding their own effective methods to overcome. Despite the fact that many Vietnamese learners spent nearly or even more than 10 years studying English at school, they cannot pronounce an English sentence exactly and fluently. As a result, they are not self-assured enough to speak out in the language. It can be clearly seen that a large number of students understand English grammar very well and get high score in written examinations whereas their oral communication skills are very poor and they are often shy to attempt to strike up a conversation (Trung Hieu, 2011). In “Language difficulties of international students in...

...Final Draft Arabic language is harder than English. What makes a language to be difficult to learn? It is possibly very popular question examined by linguists. To define difficulties of a language, it can be meant by hard grammar, difficult technique of writing, pronunciations and it also depends on a person's native language etc. In comparison of difficulties in learning, Arabic language is harder than English because it has hard grammar and vocabulary, complex pronunciations and difficult writing system. Firstly, Arabic is harder to learn than English because it needs to learn new script, new consonant sounds, different syntax and also vocabulary with some cognates. Arabic grammar is harder than English because Arabic verb conjugations are very involved and there are lots of forms for everything. Arabic has many inconsonant roots, so rare possible to understand which words are related with which meaning. For example, The starting and the ending of words change depending on who is telling and what the speaker are referring to and whether they are asking question or not. The results of these complications that the alphabets do not replicate what they speak and what they mean. Complexities of Arabic grammar and vocabulary are much more than English grammar and vocabulary. This apparently makes English is easier than Arabic. Secondly, Arabic language sound system is completely different. Arabic pronunciation contains a good range of individual throaty sounds which are formed...

...1. INTRODUCTION Speaking is one of important skills to mastering English besides reading, listening and writing. In order to mastering speaking, we must have a good pronunciation and high confidence. It is also strengthened by Harmer (2001) that pronunciation is what learners have to concern with because sound or voice is a part of pronunciation. It is in the line with Brown’s statement. Brown (1974) states that one of the significant benefits of pronunciation is to helps student feel confident when speaking. However, pronunciation is one of the most difficult problems that faced by the students largely. It usually becomes the largest constraint to overcome when trying to achieve fluency in speaking. There are many students that have studied English for many years start from elementary school until Senior High School, but they are unable to speak like native speakers because of their inability to pronounce the sounds of words properly. This problem of course can create ambiguity and difficult to understand for the people who became their interlocutors. Sometimes there are some students who able to speak fluently because they knew many vocabulary to speak and also have a high confidence, but they cannot pronounce the words properly. This problem also happens in Islamic Senior High School 1 Serang. Based on my interview with Atang Santosa, an English teacher there, I found that there are many students who have problem with their pronunciation in speaking especially in the...

...DIFFICULTIES IN LISTENING COMPREHENSION OF THIRD YEAR ENGLISH MAJOR STUDENTS Jano, Jobelle A. Major in English Abstract Language learners face difficulties when listening to the second language. Nevertheless, the types and the extent of difficulties differ. This paper attempts to investigate listening difficulties encountered by 45 third year English major students from the College of Education. Data was gathered by means of questionnaires. The study has revealed a fairly clear picture of the students’ problems and difficulties when it comes to listening comprehension that stem from a cluster of factors that characterize the lecture mode of information transmission. Understanding students’ learning difficulties enables teachers to help students develop effective learning strategies and ultimately improve their English listening abilities. Keywords Listening- listening is the ability to identify and understand what others are saying. This process involves understanding a speaker's accent or pronunciation, the speaker’s grammar and vocabulary, and comprehension of meaning. Listening comprehension- regarded as a complex, interactive process in which listeners are involved in a dynamic construction of meaning. Listeners understand the oral input from sound discrimination, prior knowledge of vocabulary, grammatical structures, stress and intonation, as well as other use linguistic, paralinguistic, or even non-linguistic clues in contextual utterance Listening problems-...

...com/pronunciation/improving-your-pronunciation/ Improving your English pronunciation Here are some tips to help you improve your English pronunciation. First of all, don't worry about not having a native-English accent. It's important to be able to speak clearly, so that people can understand you. However, it's almost impossible to sound exactly like a native English speaker if you are learning English as an adult in a non-English speaking country. However, there are many things that you can do to improve your pronunciation and your speaking skills. 1. Listen to spoken English as often as possible. Listen to how speakers pronounce various words and phrases and "model" your pronunciation on what you hear. 2. Learn the phonetic alphabet. Use the phonetic alphabet page (at the beginning of most good dictionaries) as a guide to pronouncing new words. 3. Don't forget to learn the word stress of a new word. Every English word has its own stress, or intonation. For example, the word "believe" has two syllables (be and lieve), but only the second syllable is stressed. We say be'lieve and not 'be lieve. Your dictionary will show the syllable stress by an apostrophe (') before the syllable to be stressed. Word stress is important. In fact, it is more likely that someone misunderstands you because of wrong word stress than because of the wrong pronunciation of a sound. 4. Work out which sounds cause you most problems in English. Depending on what your first language is, you may have...
