The factors that affect the English proficiency of the filipinos are too much use of vernacular and lack of confidence in using the English language. Too much use of vernacular for the reason that students and even teachers uses their vernacular during class even if the subject is science, math and other subjects whose medium of instruction is in English. First, Teachers tend to use their dialect while teaching that they forget to use english as the medium of instruction because they believe that it would be easy for the students to understand the lesson. Second, students don't have listening and speaking activities inside the classroom especially during English calss. Moreover, students and teachers don't have the needed exposure for language learning. The other reason is the lack of confidence in using the language because filipinos are so conscious about what other people will say if their articulation is not that good. As a result they rather use their dialect/ vernacular when conversing. In general, proper exposure (listening and speaking activities)to English language learning and confidence in using it are the factors that affect the Filipinos proficiency in using the English language.
