Introduction

English Grammar nowadays is one of the most important skills to be


developed and enhanced as means of effective communication. Using proper
grammar is a challenging task, knowing Basic English grammar improves
your reading and writing skills not only that but also your speaking and
listening abilities.

English grammar is the way in which meanings are encoded into wordings
in the English language. This includes the structure of words, phrases, clauses,
and sentences, right up to the structure of whole texts.

English grammar provides guidelines for choosing words, arrangement of


words, and punctuation of sentences. We do most of our thinking with word
symbols. If we cannot arrange word symbols correctly, we probably cannot
think clearly and probably cannot communicate effectively. Consider the
following analogy.

Proper grammar is also essential for understanding English as a second


language as well as for learning a new language, since all languages
follow grammatical patterns. ... While correct grammar is a valuable tool for
success in many areas of life, it is not used to create a gap in the social world.

People did not invent English grammar; they described it. Grammar is a
description of logic. It is a description of a logical thinking process. Human
beings first uttered distinctive sounds to convey thoughts. Later, people made
graphical representations of those sounds, a written language. Finally, people
analyzed the language to determine the patterns and variations. That final step
is grammar, an analysis of the way a language functions.
Also, a substantial number of us grew up in homes where English was the
native language, but it was spoken in a non-standard manner. Many of us are
approaching English as a second language or almost as if it were a second
language. Consequently, we study English grammar to understand the way the
language works.
English is a very flexible language, continuously changing. However,
English requires some standard practices. Standardization facilitates effective
communication, especially written communication. If we fail to utilize
universally understood standards, we risk splintering our language into
dialects.
English grammar is burdened with archaic terminology that does not
inform, e.g., participle, gerund, and tense. It is astonishing that a description of
the way we speak and write “turn-off” to so many of us. The unfamiliar
terminology is part of the problem.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the Factors Affecting The Use of Basic
English Grammar Among selected 1st-year CSM Students of Grant Institute of
trade technology in terms of Communicating Skills.

It sought to answer the following question:

1. What is the respondents profile in terms of:

A. AGE
B. GENDER

2. What are the factors for the learning of Basic English Grammar
Among select 1st-year students of Grant Institute of Trade and
Technology in terms of communication skill?

3. What are the use of Basic English Grammar Among select 1st-year
students of Grant Institute of Trade and Technology in terms of
communication skill?

4. Why do you think Basic English Grammar is important to take by the


1st-year CSM students?

Theoretical Frameworks

In the 1960s, linguist Noam Chomsky proposed a revolutionary idea; we


are all born with an innate knowledge of grammar that serves as the basis for
all Language acquisition. In other words, for humans, language is a basic
instinct. The theory, however evidence to suggest Chomsky may have been
right all along.

The ability to walk upright for long periods of time is distinctly human; it
sets us apart from our closest genetic cousins, the great apes. However,
walking is both innate and learned, and while every human child is born with
the underlying mechanisms needed to do so, the skill will never manifest
without proper guidance and examples, Slate reported.

In this respect, Chomsky taught that language is much like walking.


Although humans learn by example, he proposed that we are all born with a
fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms of language.
Chomsky’s original work, called universal grammar, is the reason why
humans can recognize grammatically correct yet nonsensical phrases, such as
“colorless green ideas sleep furiously.”

Past research has shown our ability to distinguish words from nonwords even
without an understanding of the language, is a skill that even non-verbal
babies possess. Researchers have long failed to prove this same instinctual
knowledge also exists for grammar.

According to Poeppel, our brains lock onto every word to comprehend


phrases and sentences. He said, “The dynamics reveal that we undergo a
grammar-based construction in the processing of language.”

In an email to Medical Daily, Poeppel explained that although it is difficult,


if not impossible, to prove theories, the data ascertained in his research
supports crucial aspects of Chomsky’s theory, namely that listeners build
abstract, hierarchical constituent structures of linguistic information.

“I’d say, on balance (comparative language research, language acquisition


research, these kinds of brain data) the empirical research favors the
Chomskyan view, as unpopular as it is,” Poeppel wrote.

Poeppel also recognized the controversy in his finding, seeing as the


preferred view is that grammar is achieved by using acoustic cues such as
intonation, and statistical cues, like word transition.

“However, we demonstrate that linguistic structure building happens in


absence of those cues — so grammar based structure building must
exist,” Poeppel said. “That is, in brief, the controversy.”
