Jessie Jocson | Emie Genton

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the level of English proficiency as predictor of academic performance of Grade 1 learners in East Maitum District. This study employed quantitative research design utilizing descriptive survey. The respondents of this study were the 194 Grade 1 learners from the 6 different elementary schools in East Maitum District. The following conclusions were established and formulated based on the results of the study: First, the level of English proficiency of learners was high in terms of spelling skills and writing skills, while moderately high in terms of grammar skills. Second, the majority of the learners obtained a very satisfactory academic performance. Lastly, the domains that predict the academic performance of Grade 1 learners were the spelling and writing skills. Nevertheless, English proficiency enabled learners to comprehend and effectively engage with course materials, participate in class discussions, and produce written assignments with clarity and precision, thus fostering success in their academic endeavors.
