Using an adapted survey questionnaire implemented electronically through Google Forms, the data was gathered from the senior high students enrolled in the 1st-semester academic year 2023-2024 at three private academic institutions in Davao City. A descriptive-correlational design was utilized. Mean, Pearson r, Linear Regression Analysis, and Medgraph using Sobel z-test were used for the data analysis. Results revealed that students' English language problems were moderate (x̄=2.85). Students' communication competence was high (x̄=3.59), and their use of smartphone apps in ESL learning was high (x̄=4.15). There was a significant negative relationship between English language problems and communication competence (r=-.186, p<0.001) and a significant positive relationship Original Research Article

The purpose of this qualitative morpho-semantic and syntactic study was to discover the morphological, semantic and syntactic features of the written output through morphological, semantic and syntactic categories, present in their journal writings. Also, beliefs and practices embedded in the norms, values, and ideologies were identified. The study was conducted among the Manobo students in the Senior High Schools of Central Mindanao, particularly in the Division of North Cotabato. Findings revealed that morphologically, the features that flourished are the following: subject-verb concordance, tenses, Pronouns, Prepositions, Articles, and the use of adjectives.Semantically, the features are the following: word choice, idiomatic expression, borrowing, and vernacular. Syntactically, the features are: the types of sentences according to structure and function; and the dominance of code switching and run-on sentences.Lastly, as to the beliefs and practices embedded in the norms, values, and ideologies of their journal writing, the major themes are:valuing education, family and friends as treasure, preservation of culture, and emancipation from the bondage of poverty.This study has shed light on the writing capabilities and weaknesses of the Manobo students when it comes to English language. Further, such an insight into language learning problems is useful to teachers because it provides information on common trouble-spots in language learning which can be used in the preparation of effective teaching materials.

It also aimed to determine the level of the variables and to determine the relationships that naturally exist between them. It employed descriptive-correlational research design. The study was conducted in three private schools in Davao City, Philippines, between May 2022 and March 2023. This study included 300 senior high school academic track students from three private schools in Davao selected using stratified sampling technique. The data were gathered online using an adapted survey questionnaire which has been tested for content validity and checked for reliability using Cronbach Alpha. The data were analyzed using Mean, Pearson’s r, and path analysis. Results revealed that code-switching had no mediating effect on the relationship between foreign language classroom anxiety and English language problems (P=....

A non-experimental quantitative research design using descriptive-correlational research design was applied and employed stratified random sampling with 313 Education college students as a sample. Data collection was made through a survey instrument. Data analysis was done through Mean, Pearson-r, Multiple Regression, and Medgraph using the Sobel z-test. Results revealed that English speaking skills, social literacy, and engagement were high. A positive correlation between English speaking skills and social literacy, English speaking skills and student engagement, and social literacy and student engagement was proven in the study. The findings affirmed that English
