{"abstract":"This study measured the level of self-confidence in English of 36 first-year English majors of Kabankalan Catholic College who were officially enrolled for the Academic Year 2022- 2023. The participants’ self-confidence in English was classified into five macro skills namely reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing skills. Their self-confidence in the five skills was correlated to their performance in Purposive Communication course. Descriptive-correlational design was used to determine the association between the two variables. An adopted and compiled standardized questionnaires from different sources were administered. Mean, standard deviation, t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were utilized for data analyses. The results revealed that males garnered higher mean results in the level of self confidence in English in terms of listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills while females excelled in viewing skills. This finding implies that males are more confident in English compared to females. In terms of school of origin when taken as a whole, viewing skills got the highest mean while writing skills got the lowest mean for both private and public schools which implies that viewing skill is dominant due to digitalization and wide impact of media. Significant differences also vary in the five macro skills. A significant relationship was found between the students’ self-confidence in English in terms of reading skills and their performance in Purposive Communication. Thus, the study suggests that language programs may be implemented to help enhance the students’ English skills so they can fully excel in their academics and in the use of English language.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Nicol Grace Gawan","Merygold Cezar","Crisalyn Montoyo","Quirr Millendez","Milagros Aurea Sabidalas"],"date":"2024-07-01","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.12611594","id":3163,"issue":6,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"6244c148054b215bce780730a869bd144b479d61614fd77534040b3bff410686","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Self-Confidence in English and Performance in Purposive Communication of First Year English Major Students","volume":21}
