Abstract

In the Philippines, Conyo language is a type of code-mixing where people speak Taglish, a combination of the English and Filipino languages. To use this language may mean that speakers have limited knowledge of the English language. Since ancient times, the Philippines has been recognized for its linguistic diversity, this study aimed to find out the level of use of the Conyo language among first-year and second-year AB-EL students in Surigao del Norte State University, Surigao City, Philippines. Specifically, it sought the profile of the respondents as to age, sex, year level, and socio-economic status. It also investigated the significant difference between the level of use of the Conyo language as to conversation with peers, conversation at home, and classroom engagement of the respondents when grouped according to their profile variables. This study used a descriptive research design. The first-year and second-year AB-EL (Bachelor of Arts in English Language) students were the respondents of the study. A questionnaire was utilized to gather the data from the 64 respondents. The gathered data were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, average mean and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The data revealed that majority of the respondents were female, 20 years old below, first-year level, and had a 10,000 below as socio-economic status of their family. The study observed Conyo language usage among peers, at home, and in classrooms, finding no significant differences based on profile variables. It recommends further research to uncover the very underlying reasons for this usage, despite varied profiles.
