Comprehension Level of Homographs and Homophones of English Language Students

Effective communication involves accurate comprehension of the message. Homophones and Homographs are figurative words that require an individual to take time to think about their meaning when used in sentences. The researcher conducted this study to determine the comprehension level of BSED major in English and ABELS students of Isabela State University Echague Campus in Homophones and Homographs. The study aimed to determine the comprehension level of the respondents using a descriptive-correlation design. The result shows that the respondent’s comprehension level in Homographs is “High†with a frequency of 60 or 45.5% while the respondent’s level of comprehension in Homophones is “Very High†with a frequency of 78 or 59.1%. Moreover, the result also revealed that there is a significant difference between the respondent’s year level and their level of reading comprehension. Therefore, it is concluded that students from different cultural backgrounds may have different perspectives and experiences which can create a gap between the students understanding and their peers. Furthermore, older adults have the ability to push themselves to recruit extra brain power to support their reading comprehension
