INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study The use of language takes place in all circumstances of our daily lives. It has become a vital tool in interacting with other people to bond or link our interests, work, relationships, and other concerns we may have. It serves as a vehicle to convey idea or details in communicating with different groups of people.
“Because English is so widely spoken, it has often been referred to as a "world language", the lingua franca of the modern era, and while it is not an official language in most countries, it is currently the language most often taught as a foreign language. English is widely spoken in the Philippines. It is used as the business language as well as the medium of instruction in schools and universities. It is the language used by the people all over the world in order to communicate to anyone.”
English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and, because it is the preferred language for international commerce, English as a Second Language (ESL) schools exist in most industrialized countries. Even though English grammar is part of the high school curriculum in many countries, many nonnative speakers need extra training to be able to communicate effectively.
It is widely used most particularly in school, work, or business, and in different tasks depending on one’s profession.
English is dominant in business, government, the legal system, medicine, the sciences and as a medium of instruction. Filipinos prefer textbooks for subjects like calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., written in English rather than Filipino. By way of contrast, native languages are often heard
