Abstract

This study delved into the lived experiences of self-aware-non-fluent English teachers in their instructional delivery to come up with practical strategies and ways to strengthen the delivery of instruction in using the English language. Accordingly, qualitative research design and hermeneutic phenomenological processes were utilized. In analyzing the acquired responses from the participants, the following steps were applied: (1) hermeneutic phenomenological reduction; (2) imaginative variation, where the possible meanings of horizons were attained through the individual and composite structural descriptions; lastly, (3) essence, where the synthesis and reflections were made to form implications. The epoche was also applied before and during the conduct of this qualitative research to suspend the researcher’s connection to the experiences of the participants and maintain bias-free data. Based on the testimonies gathered from the participants, 139 subordinate themes, 28 superordinate themes, and four (4) main themes were unveiled. Challenges encountered in using the English language in an English classroom, Practices in developing English language fluency in the classroom, Various training on enriching the English language fluency among English teachers; and Favorable experiences as English teachers were the four (4) main themes which highlighted all the significant occurrences in the classroom regarding English language fluency. As a result, a booklet entitled “I am a Pedagogue: Repertoire of English Fluency Enrichment Strategies” was crafted which emphasized strategies acquired from the lived experience of the participants and was intended to be applied by all the English teachers in Calamba City. Keywords – English teachers, enrichment strategies, instructional delivery, non-fluency

Abstract

With the rise of blended learning, assessing the factors influencing student academic performance has become essential. Teaching effectiveness is a critical component of this dynamic, potentially affecting students’ academic success. This study examines the relationship between teaching effectiveness and the academic performance of students engaged in blended learning environments. The primary objective of this research was to determine whether a significant relationship exists between teaching effectiveness and student academic performance. Specifically, this study evaluated various aspects of teaching effectiveness, including the learning environment and instructional practices, and their impact on student achievement. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, using Simple Random Sampling to select 297 student respondents from the records provided by the university registrar’s office. The study measured teaching effectiveness using the university’s standardized School Form (SF) 7, while students’ academic performance was gauged via their general weighted average for the 2022-2023 academic year. Data analysis included calculating the mean and standard deviation to determine the levels of teaching effectiveness and academic performance, with Pearson’s r used to assess the correlation between these variables. The results indicated that the learning environment aspect of teaching effectiveness scored the highest, while instructional and assessment practices scored the lowest. Overall, teaching effectiveness was rated "Very Satisfactory." A significant positive correlation was identified between teaching effectiveness and student academic performance, thus contradicting the null hypothesis. The findings underscore a strong, consistent positive relationship among the various dimensions of teaching effectiveness, revealing that effective teaching in one area is linked with higher effectiveness in others. This interconnectedness highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to enhancing teaching practices and suggests that improvements in teaching effectiveness can lead to better academic outcomes in blended learning contexts.

Abstract

This research aimed to test the effectiveness of the Packeted Electronically Assisted Reading Leaflets (PEARL) mobile application in enhancing students’ English academic performances. The researcher gained knowledge of declining reading comprehension skills, including Grade 7 reading levels, using the Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PHIL-IRI), the official reading material from the Department of Education. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the administration of this reading inventory has been put on hold due to its inapplicability. This study was conducted with Grade 7 Calamba Bayside Integrated School students from the Division of Calamba as respondents. A quasi-experimental technique, and administration of pretest, formative, and posttest, were used in this study. As for the data collection, the respondents' pretest, formative test, and post-test scores in the experimental and controlled groups were recorded weekly. There are 22 active students participated in the study through random sampling. Next, data analysis was performed using the T-test and Pearson’s formulas, respectively. Based on these findings, the researcher concluded that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores of the two groups, which indicates that the PEARL application is practical in enhancing English academic performance. Although there was only a medium-sized effect regarding the significant differences in the scores of the experimental group, it is concluded that several factors, like poor internet connectivity and technical difficulties, should be considered. The researcher also suggested that crafting instructional materials such as PEARL could improve students’ English proficiency.
