The Theory of Performance (ToP) by Don Elger served as the basis to develop the research instrument, i.e., survey questionnaire. Seventy (70) grade six pupils were authorized by a private school in the Philippines to become the respondents of the study. Correlated with the aforementioned factors were the pupils' reading Lexile Scores provided by Scholastic Philippines. The data were processed through the SPSS software using the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient formula. Results revealed that among the four sets of factors, only Home Factors have a significant relationship with the Lexile Scores of the respondents. Furthermore, specific factors such as gender and mother's occupation relate with the pupils' reading proficiency level.

Therefore, parents of children who are exposed to and are trying to learn either of these languages, their L2 mind distinguishes correct usage of its features to avoid confusion and acquisition difficulties. Considerably, the English language acquisition in the Philippines is both influenced by nationwide use of the language in the households and communities, and exposure to information technology; both are deemed necessary in English literacy and prestige. Consequently, this case study contrasted the lexical and contextual features of L1 and L2 learned vocabulary words of pre-schoolers (male and female) to recognize their L2 acquisition difficulty and contextual cues as perceived by the parents of the subjects based on children's personal, cognitive, and cultural attributes. Through qualitative method using the contrastive analysis hypothesis established by Lado (1957), this study supports the interlanguage of English and Tagalog; children can acquire lexical and contextual L1 and L2 prior to their formal schooling.

A survey questionnaire based on the Theory of Performance (ToP) by Elger (2007) was used to gather data about the factors. Meanwhile, the grades in a foreign language class of 25 college students were collected for the correlation. The quantitative data were processed through the SPSS software using the Pearson Product- Moment Correlation Coefficient formula, while the NVivo software was run to process the qualitative responses that served as a follow-up to the correlation results. Findings revealed that none of the four factors significantly correlated with the respondents’ FL grades, but one item under School Factors was found to have a moderate positive correlation with the FL grades. Furthermore, the respondents’ attitudes towards online learning, fathers’ educational back...
