The researcher also conducted focus group discussion to gain an in-depth understanding of factors affecting the students? language proficiency. It revealed that the students were female, BS Criminology, and had an allowance of below P500. They were much integratively and instrumentally motivated and externally and internally demotivated. Morever, they failed the language proficiency test. The intergrative and instrumental motivations were related to the proficiency test, while teachers? personality, method, self-confidence, and attitude demotivation factors were related. There was a difference in integrative and instrumental demotivations whilst no difference in external and internal demotivations. Thus, English should be made simple, easy, and understandable.
