| Summary: | This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Language Intervention Program(LIP) for Indigenous Peoples (IP) learners with speaking difficulties in English. Itsobjectives were to: (1) identify speaking difficulties of IP learners in English; (2)discover factors affecting these speaking difficulties; and (3) design, develop,implement, assess and Language Intervention Program (LIP) that addressesaforementioned problems based from Social Learning Theory. Qualitative research design wasutilised through a case study of five selected Grade 2 IP learners, five parents andone teacher at Echague, Isabela, Philippines. Data were collected through observations, oral assessment activities, interviews, and document analysis. Instruments includedobservation checklists, constructed oral assessment, and interview questions. Results werethematically analysed as modelled by Creswell. Findings from observations and oral assessmentdisclosed that speaking troubles in English phonology on Alphabet knowledge domain, compriseddifficulty in sounding letters, reciting English alphabets in sequence; recognisingalphabetical arrangement of English words; identifying beginning consonant sounds; anddistinguishing similarities and differences of alphabets both in English and Filipino languages. Inphonics and words recognition, difficulty is on matching of English words withConsonant-Vowel-Consonant (CVC) patterns and basic sight words with their pictures. Forphonological awareness, difficulty is on identifying rhyming words. Poor English vocabularysignified semantics difficulty. Weak oral communication indicated pragmatics deficiency.Difficulty in Syntax signified poor grammatical awareness of nouns and verbs. From interviews anddocument analysis, the study has identified several factors affecting speakingdifficulties. These are on physical domains, intellectual aspects, behavioural aspects, and homefactors. Physical components involved mispronunciations while intellectual area included hindrances in comprehension, English vocabulary, information processing, memory,attention span and IP learners language. Behavioural factors comprised misbehaviours andnegative attitudes. Home factors comprised parents inadequate supervision and insufficientEnglish aptitudes. LIP was developed based on noted difficulties and through parents andexperts consultations. In conclusion, research findings reveal that LIP was effective to solveIP learners English speaking problems. This implied that LIP can be used by teachers to teach IPlearners in otherschools. |
