Abstract:

The main thrust of this study was to explore the English language learning experiences of five Grade 6 Bangsamoro honor pupils at Mapayag Elementary School during the 2022-2023 academic year, employing a phenomenological research design. It uncovered that learners acquire English through various channels including parental assistance, media exposure, and peer interactions at home, while relying on personal efforts, teacher guidance, and peer engagement at school. In the community, learning occurs through interactions with playmates, friends, and relatives. However, learners encounter barriers such as embarrassment, mockery, and limited parental education. The findings underscored the challenges faced by Bangsamoro learners in English language usage due to constrained opportunities and social pressures. The study concluded by recommending initiatives to increase English usage across different contexts, foster interactions with English speakers, expand vocabulary, and emphasize correct language usage to enhance learners' confidence.
