who needs remediation in English more specifically in identification of common
and proper nouns. Moreover she is not that good in following directions. One of
the factors to be considered in checking the answer sheet of the student is the
way he/she followed instructions. The researchers found that, even the directions
are clearly stated the student still has difficulties in following it. Jolina was given a
diagnostic examination with a total of 40 items. 20 of these items are about
common and proper nouns. As the researchers checked the paper of the student,
they found out that student got zero correct answers in these 20 questions about
common and proper nouns. She finds it easy to identify singular and plural
