This academic undertaking examines published researches in ALS to determine common themes and identify implications on the implementations of its various programs. Thematic analysis is utilized in identifying the patterns of such researches as they were coded based on key words. Findings reveal that studies involving the ALS were focused on programs impact to the learners, development of instructional resources, and on concerns pertinent to teaching and learning. Thus, it can be concluded that there is enough empirical-based data that may serve as bases by the policy makers in the ALS to further improve the implementation of its various programs in the field and set direction on research engagement in this learning system.

The 4As strategy on teaching as suggested in Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory served as its core design. As such, it follows the Activity, Analysis, ion, and Application phases of lesson episodes. Its contents, on the other hand, are reflective on the results of the findings reported as regards modalities and assessments of learning employed by the ALS programs implementers across diverse groups. These modules are deemed useful for teachers of PB-DALS, ALS programs implementers, and policy makers of the ALS. Taking things holistically, it is suggested that said modules be subjected for validation.

It was focused on how it is taught, the clientele’s ability to write an academic composition and the implementers’ and clientele’s concerns in its implementation. Two program implementers and 48 clientele were purposively chosen as respondents. Data were obtained from the compositions written by the respondents which were expressed in Waray and English languages, questionnaire, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Subsequently, data gathered were analyzed accordingly following the six-step techniques for a case study outlined by Yin (2014). Results revealed that the curriculum is conventionally facilitated. Also, the clientele can easily write a composition in Waray but find it challenging using the English language. Learning associated factors aggravated by insufficient logistics support and co...

It adopted the descriptive cross-sectional survey research design and had used Jacobs’ English as a Second Language Composition Profile as the instrument of the study. For valid and reliable interpretation of data, the mean and t - test were used. Results showed that the level of the respondents’ composition writing ability developed through free-exercises in terms of organization, vocabulary and language component were rated to be at “average good” level. In terms of content and mechanics; the respondents’ compositions were both rated “poor to fair” by the four raters. On the other hand, the level of the respondents’ composition writing ability developed through controlled-exercises in terms of content, organization, and language ...

It utilized the descriptive-quantitative research design. Data were obtained from various adopted reading passages. Of the four reading dimensions, the clientele registered a good performance in the literal level but poorly performed in the inferential, evaluative, and creative dimensions. As to their study skills competencies, outlining and semantic mapping were their top concerns but they were nevertheless good in locating thesis statement and very good in book parts familiarization. Considering these findings, it is the imperative for the ALS implementers to revisit their pedagogic practices relative to the teaching of reading as a macro language skill especially on the areas were their clientele need instructional related interventions.

Using the descriptive qualitative research design, data were generated using open-ended survey questionnaire, and a focus group discussion. Results showed that the K-12 curricular contents for elementary writing were rather challenging to teach that is further aggravated by limited learning resources. Remediation Reinforcement Enrichment (RRE), Explicit Teaching (ET), Little Teacher Strategy, Group Work Technique and Detailed Lesson Plans (DLPs) are mainly utilized as primary scaffolds with the aid of visuals, graphic organizers, and technologybased learning tools. Though commendable, their scaffolding practices however still fell short in actualizing instructional scaffolding holistically. Thus, the need to further the elementary teachers' knowledge on this dimension through professional advancement and similar activities.
