📄 Abstract
The purpose of this phenomenological study is to explore and understand the lived experiences of the local college students when it comes to English language instruction, their coping mechanisms amidst the challenges they encountered, and their insights based on the experience they have gained. This study used qualitative research employing a phenomenological approach. The participants in this study were the students of Maco de Oro College. Both in-depth interviews and focus group discussions were employed to get the data for the study. The result of this study revealed themes for the lived experiences of the students, such as Language Enhancement Skills, Difficulty in using English Language, and Multiple Teaching Methods in the classroom. For coping with the challenges encountered, themes drawn were Peer Support Systems and Mentoring, Reading of English Learning Materials, and Practice Speaking English Regularly. For the insights of the participants, themes are Career Development and Job Opportunities, Goal-oriented approach to Learning English, and Lifelong Learning Process. The result of this qualitative research and the analysis of its findings provide concrete evidence that, as far as the English language instruction in a local college is concerned, it is important to consider the students above all.
