Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the mediating effect of cognitive performance on the relationship between the beliefs about language learning and English language attitude among 400 college students at three universities in Davao del Norte, and two universities in Davao del Sur, all private, were selected where the research used a quantitative and descriptive correlation with three sets of research questionnaires answered by the respondents. The research revealed a mediating effect of cognitive performance on the relationship between the beliefs about language learning and English language attitude. Additionally, a relationship was revealed between the beliefs about language learning and cognitive performance and English language attitude. It implies that the students’ cognitive performance mediates their English language learning among college students. Furthermore, the study hopes to contribute to the knowledge that students’ cognitive performance mediates the overall learning of the English language. This research hopes to make new knowledge and identify the factors in attitudes towards learning the English language and could help educators in the teaching-learning process of the language more effectively in developing new interventions.
