Abstract

This study determined to find out which domain of communicative adaptability and communication apprehension significantly predicts cognitive communication competence. A quantitative descriptive-predictive design was employed in this study. The research participants were 250 Grade 11 Senior High School students enrolled in English 1s – Oral Communication in Context at UM Digos Senior High School. The gathered data were analyzed and interpreted using the mean, standard deviation, Pearson-r, regression, and multiple linear regression. It was found that the SHS students have a high level of communicative adaptability, moderate communication apprehension, and a high level of cognitive communication competence. The study’s findings revealed a significant relationship between communicative adaptability and cognitive communication competence. In contrast, communication apprehension was adversely related to cognitive communication competence. Through multiple linear regression, the findings corroborated the three domains of communicative adaptability and communication apprehension: social confirmation, appropriate, and apprehension in small groups, significantly predict cognitive communication competence. The findings obtained in this study suggest that English language teachers may employ strategies and activities, with various contexts among various individuals, as performance tasks. It will help students adapt to various communication contexts, lessen communication apprehension, and improve communication competence.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0005/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
