Sinalhan, City of Santa Rosa, Laguna 4026 CONCEPT PAPER Leader Members: Strand: Date Submitted: Proposed Title of the Study Task-Based Approaches among Grade 11 English Teachers and Communication Skills of their Learners in the Division of Santa Rosa City. Area of Study: English Language Background of the Study An attempt to determine the level of manifestation of task-based approaches among Grade 11 English Teachers and the communication skills of their learners in the Division of Santa Rosa City. The researcher will find out the level of communication skills of the Grade 11 learners in each school because it is observable that some of the learners are having difficulty communicating in both written and oral. Statement of the Problem This proposed study endeavors to identify the task-based approaches of Grade 11 English teachers and the communication skills of their learners in the Division of Santa Rosa City. Specifically, this study aims to answer the following questions: 1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of: 1.1. Age; 1.2. Sex; 1.3. Educational Attainment? 2 . What is the level of manifestation of task-based approaches of Grade 11 English teachers in the Division of Santa Rosa City as assessed by the English coordinators and the SHS English teachers themselves in terms of: 2.1. real-world tasks, and 2.2. pedagogic tasks ? 3. Is there any significant difference among the assessments of the English coordinators and Grade 11 English teachers? 4. What is the level of communication skills among the Grade 11 learners in English in terms of: 4.1. written, and Prk 3 Brgy.

Is there any significant relationship between the level of manifestation of approaches of Grade 11 English teachers and the communications skills of their learners in the Division of Santa Rosa City? 6. Based on the findings of the study, what enhancement program may be proposed? Objectives of the Study The primary objective of the study is to identify the task-based approaches used by the Grade 11 English teachers and the level of communication skills of their learners in the Division of Santa Rosa City. An enhancement program will be proposed in this study. Literature Review (ERIC, 2013), stated that Task-Based Approach is one of the proposed teaching strategies since 2001. Stanley (2003), stated that Task-Based Approaches focus on the learning of languages by means of tasks performed by the learners. This approach offers an alternative for language teachers. With this approach, the lesson is based around the completion of a central task and the language studied is determined by what happens as the students complete it. Moreover, this approach focuses on how students create and need to learn and use language. The tasks that are to be given will generate their own language and create an opportunity to language acquisition. (Bowen, 2013) Theoretical Framework In conducting this research, there are theories that will be used by the researcher that serve as bases and will be utilized throughout the study. These are the following: Experiential Learning According to (Cherry, 2019), experiential learning is defined as the process where knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. It explains that knowledge results from the combination of grasping and transforming the experience. Communicative Language Teaching (Elis, 2018), stated that CLT viewed language not just as a set of formal structures, but as a means of communication. According to Hymes, as cited by (Elis, 2018), a theory of competence is outlined that accounted for both what us formally possible in a language and what is possible and acceptable in terms of performance.

Sinalhan, City of Santa Rosa, Laguna 4026 Proposed Research Designs, Methods. Procedures Research Methodology This study will use a quantitative research design. In particular, descriptivecorrelational research was used. Creswell (2012) describes that quantitative research design is used if the researcher would like to identify research problems based on the trends in the field or the need to explain why something occurs. In addition, this research design emphasized objective measurements and the statistical, mathematical, or analysis of data collected through polls, questionnaires, surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques. This design will be employed since this research will analyze the result of the survey using statistical tools and it deals with identifying the level of technical assistance and the work performance of teachers in the Division of Santa Rosa City. On the other hand, descriptive-correlational research will be used for this study to test the relationship between the independent variable and one or more independent variables. This design is appropriate for this study since this will determine the level of technical assistance and the work performance of the teachers in the Division of Santa Rosa City. A. Sampling In determining the respondents of the study, the researcher will use simple random sampling. According to Pulmones (2016), the simple random sampling allows for members of the population to have an equal chance of being selected as a member of the sample. For the sampling procedure, the researcher will utilize the G-power to accurately determine the sample. The respondents will be the twenty-five percent of the actual number of the students in each school in the Division of Santa Rosa City. B. Data Collection Before gathering the needed data, a letter will be sent to the Office of the Schools Division Superintendent in the Division of Santa Rosa City requesting the division authority to allow the researcher to gather the needed data from the respondents. After getting approval from the superintendent, the researcher will have the initial interview in each school. After that, the researcher will construct the survey questionnaire, arrange the schedule to distribute and gather data from the respondents. Distributing and collecting the questionnaires from the respondents will be conducted by researcher. After the completion of all the necessary requirements, the researcher will solicit assistance from a statistician to correctly tabulate, analyze, and interpret the data. Prk 3 Brgy.

Sinalhan, City of Santa Rosa, Laguna 4026 The researcher will be utilizing a researcher-made survey questionnaire for this study. To validate the questionnaire, the researcher will seek assistance of the research experts (panelist, statistician, and language editor) to establish content and construct validity. The researcher will also consult other English teachers to check the clarity and validity of the questions. The questionnaire will undergo several editing during its validation period. When the consequent corrections and suggestions are incorporated, the researcher will have the final draft of the questionnaire ready, and consequently, administer to the respondents of the study.
