The Influence of English Language Competence and Social Networking Usage on Communication Skill among General Academic Strand (GAS) Students

This study examined the influence of English Language Competence and Social Networking Usage on the communication skills of General Academic Strand (GAS) students at Lorenzo S. Sarmiento Sr. National High School. The study employed a quantitative research design to determine the levels of English language competence in terms of reading, writing, listening, speaking, and comprehension; social networking usage in terms of academic use, socialization, entertainment, informativeness, and constraints; and communication skills in terms of competence, discouragement, body language, and dignification. Data was gathered through validated survey questionnaires administered to GAS students and were analyzed using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The study further examined the relationship between English language competence and communication skills, as well as between social networking usage and communication skills. In addition, it identified which domains of English language competence and social networking usage influence students’ communication skills. The findings of the study served as the basis for drawing conclusions and formulating recommendations relevant to the development of students’ communication skills. The study provides insights that may be useful to teachers, school administrators, and future researchers in enhancing English language instruction and guiding the appropriate use of social networking to support students’ communication development.
