Abstract

This study investigates the transformative effects of accreditation on an educational institution, focusing on various areas including philosophy and objectives, faculty, curriculum, laboratory facilities, research, library services, student services, social orientation, community involvement, physical plant, and administration. Utilizing a phenomenological historical research design, the research examines the institution's status before and after its voluntary accreditation by PACUCOA, highlighting significant changes such as the alignment of the Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives (VMGO) with academic programs, enhanced faculty engagement in research, and improved infrastructure, including the establishment of a new six-story building. The findings reveal that accreditation not only facilitated substantial improvements in institutional quality and student services but also fostered a culture of continuous growth and development, ultimately positioning the institution as a more competitive and respected educational provider in the region.

Abstract

The study employed a descriptive design to gather baseline data on respondents' oral communication skills in English. The results revealed that the majority of respondents were female, aged 19-24, who primarily spoke Tagalog and Ilokano at home, and were mainly in their second and third years of study. Utilizing a 5-point Likert scale for assessment, the findings indicated that respondents were rated as "good" across various dimensions of oral communication, including audience engagement, context, transactional and interper-sonal skills, medium of exchange, and paralinguistics. This overall rating suggests that while their skills are adequate, there is consid-erable potential for improvement to enhance their competitiveness in the job market.As a result, the study underscored the need for a program aimed at strengthening students' oral communication skills in English, with an intervention proposed for review and implementation in the upcoming academic year. Recommendations for program heads and school administrators included incorporating these findings into curriculum evaluations and policy development. Regular curriculum mapping is essential to ensure that course objectives align with the enhancement of students' English oral communication skills. Addi-tionally, it is recommended that training programs focused on im-proving these skills be made available, and that language teachers engage in professional development seminars to refine their in-structional techniques. Furthermore, increasing the number of in-teractive classroom activities is advised to further cultivate stu-dents' oral communication abilities in English.
