Abstract:

This qualitative study determined how English language exposures through media, technology, and at home help the students in understanding their English lessons. Fifteen students were selected purposively from three sections of Grade 10. A prior interview was conducted before the selection, and students who were able to articulate their ideas clearly were chosen as respondents. They were asked a set of questions in the Focus Group Discussion where their answers were analyzed using the deductive research approach. The results of the study showed that exposures to the English language through media, technology, and at home enable the students to develop and hone their grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation skills which they used in their English class and eventually helped them in understanding their English lessons. Hence, this study has proven that English language exposures are effective in helping students better understand their English lessons.
