    THE PROBLEM

    Introduction

    One of the aims of the Department of Education is to prepare the

    students to be globally competitive. To achieve this, educational reforms of the

    government must also focus into the mastery of English as the second

    language. Such attempt will greatly help to harness the productive capacity of

    the countrys human resource base towards international competitiveness.

    Competitiveness may be gauged from sociolinguistic competence of a

    person. Sociolinguistic competence is the ability to use language appropriate to

    a given communicative context taking into account the roles of the

    participants, the setting and the purpose of interaction. It is the ability to use

    and respond to language appropriately, given the setting, the topic, and the

    relationships among the people communicating, particularly the lingua franca

    of the educational society and community, in its various contexts and

    dimensions relatively guarantees the teachers competitive advantage in the

    complex society like the Philippines (Alatis,2009).

    One of the alarming situations in the Philippine context is the coming of

    the high school graduates into university with fair levels of

    REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

    This chapter presents the literature and studies which are found to have

    a direct bearing to the present investigation.

    Related Literature

    Sociolinguistic Competence

    All language events consist of a pierce of language in social context.

    Every different social context determines the particular form of language. The

    language used in particular situation determines the nature of that social event

    ( Stockwell 2002).

    Brown (2001) posited that sociolinguistic competence is the knowledge of

    the sociocultural rules of language and of discourse. This type of competence

    requires an understanding of the social context in which language is used: the

    rules of the participants, the information they share, and the functions of the

    interaction. Only in a full context of this kind can judgment be made on the

    appropriateness of a particular utterance'. For students learning English in

    Malaysia, sociolinguistic competence should take into account those aspects as

    proposed by Bachman. Broersma (2001) claimed that the process of learning

    sociolinguistic competence is challenging even in ones first language. He also

    proposed that evidence of this can be found in the popularity of

    METHODOLOGY

    This chapter presents the research design, respondents, instruments,

    procedures and the statistical methods to be used in the study.

    Research Design

    This study utilized a descriptive-correlational method. It described the

    sociolinguistic competence of freshmen students in English in terms of style of

    discourse, euphemisms, idioms and jargons; as well as determined the

    academic performance of freshmen students. Additionally, it determined the

  • 7/25/2019 formatthesis-130707012327-phpapp01

    5/24

    significant difference on the sociolinguistic competence between male and

    female students and its significant relationship between the sociolinguistic

    competence and English performance of freshmen BSED students.

    Research Respondents

    The respondents of the study were the one hundred thirty two

    (132)freshmen students taking up the degree of Bachelor of Secondary

    Education on the three major courses namely Math, English, and Biology

    during the school year 2011-2012. Table 1 shows the distribution of

    respondents.

    research study. The various results were presented in the succeeding tables

    with corresponding discussions and explanations. It also answered specific

    problems given in the previous chapter.
