High School Students Attitude Towards Speaking And Reading Skills In English

S. Jayasudhaa, Dr. V. Srividhya

Abstract


When it comes to language development, growth or degradation, repair or destruction, attitudes are critical. Language learning is made up of four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Though each skill is significant in and of itself, reading and speaking abilities are more vital because language is used to communicate or express one's ideas and emotions. The purpose of this survey was to find out how high school pupils felt about their English speaking and reading abilities. The research included 94 high school students from the Tiruchirappalli district. The tool created by the investigator was employed. The attitudes of high school pupils about English speaking and reading abilities were evaluated in connection to a number of demographic parameters. The results demonstrated that parental education had an impact on pupils' attitudes regarding their English speaking and reading abilities. These study results should be considered by syllabi designers and instructors in order to offer students with world-class language learning.
