The objective of this study is to enhance student’s communication skill through
peer learning method for subject of GMJT3124 Regional Development Group
B. Most of the students are reluctant because they feel that they will have
difficulties to understand and communicate in English that will lead to insecure
and tentative feeling. They are unable to compete internationally because of
communication problems did not reach the levels required by employers. If this
e. issue still continuing, a fresh graduate from local university will face a difficulties
to obtain jobs in the future. This shows that students more comfortable
communicating in their mother tongue or introverted to change during their time
in university. This study applied observation and survey method to get
information. The results of a two-way ANOVA Statistical test show that there
are statistically significant differences between dependent (Student’s
Communication Skills) and independent variables (Student’s Group, Feeling
and Support). It is shown that the students are preferred to improve their
communication skills in English.

To my beloved partner in life, Elmer, my precious daughter,

Tamara, my mother dear, Nanay Meding, and to my siblings,
f. the source of inspiration
this study is wholeheartedly dedicated.
MED

Dr. Jerson Catoto, my mentor and adviser who extended his intellectual
