Abstract

ne of the imminent programs the government instituted for this concern is the Alternative Learning System (ALS) which aims at providing opportunities for students who are not succeeding in the traditional classroom setting to obtain academic credit, career exploration activities, and extended teacher/peer support in an alternative setting where the ultimate goal is that obtaining a diploma. The study aimed to determine the reading levels of the respondents before and after the administration of a reading intervention program. The Reading program was conceptualized as an extended service to enhance the reading abilities of the ALS students. It employed the descriptive type of research to gather facts and information regarding the reading performance levels of the respondents. The respondents of the study consisted of 70 students from ALS Program of the DepEd ALS Program. The researchers utilized the Functional Literacy Test (FLT) a standardized reading assessment tool which was administered before the intervention and after the reading program. T-test was used in the treatment of the data. Based on the findings; generally, the respondents’ age ranges from 15-23 with a minimal percentage of the ages 42-51. This shows that students tend to stop their education after attending basic education. The mean results of the pre-test which is 4.0294 are far behind the results of the post-test, which is 9.4411 mean, this indicates a highly significant difference is evident in the statistical treatment. A t-value of -29.583 resulted and a p-value of 0.000 was obtained from the data. This proves a high significance is displayed in the results and that the intervention program has proven its effectiveness in the reading performance of the ALS Students.

Abstract

English is a critical subject in the Philippines; teachers themselves are also required to pass the English Proficiency Test before practic-ing in public schools. However, there has been a gradual decline in English language proficiency among Filipinos, as evidenced by vari-ous assessments. The study aims to explore the English proficiency of college students at the university in relation to the course Purpos-ive Communication which sought to answer the following ques-tions:1) What is the academic performance in Purposive Communi-cation course of the respondents?; 2) What are the English profi-ciency level test results of the respondents? 3) Is there a significant relationship between the general weighted average in the Purposive Communication course of the respondents and the English profi-ciency level test results of the respondents? The researchers utilized a correlational research design for the study to measure the rela-tionship between independent and dependent variables; it deter-mined that a correlational design was appropriate and beneficial. This phase statistical insights into the relationship between aca-demic performance and English proficiency. The findings contribut-ed to theory generation by shedding light on the role of specific col-lege courses in shaping English proficiency and informing educa-tional policies aimed at enhancing language proficiency among fu-ture teachers.
