 A. INTRODUCTION

According to Pellino (2010), “students with English as a second language (ESL)

constitute a significant percentage of the population of our nation's schools. This
population continues to increase more rapidly than that of native English speaking
students (Shore, 2001)”. The language minority population has a high dropout
rate. These students are also among the lowest ranking in academic achievement
and expectations. They represent an at-risk population faced with a wide range of
challenges (Thompson, 2000).

She further stated that this presents a unique challenge for teachers as we
strive to help these students achieve in learning the English language and the
academic material specified in our content area learning standards. Every teacher
who teaches subject matter in English to ESL students is not only a teacher of the
content area but is a teacher of English as well. As educators, we must continually
reflect on our teaching and update our practice to address the needs of this
population, placing a strong emphasis on the human side of teaching. We must
continually focus on these students and find effective ways to arrange their
learning to help them achieve the quality education.

In line with this, all schools in the Dipaculao District shares a common goal of
improving the quality of education relevant to the needs of and demands of
today’s modern society.

Remarkable results of the different tests, contests and activities this School
Year 2010-2011 attested the commitment and hard work of Dipaculao’s teachers
in achieving and improving the academic performance of the pupils.
Acknowledgement should also be given to the school heads who strictly implement
DepED’s programs and to the District Supervisor and English Supervisor for their
outmost support and close guidance and supervision to the English programs.

II. OBJECTIVES
a. To raise the performance level of pupils in the subject area
b. To reduce number of non readers
c. To improve teachers’ skills and competence in teaching English
d. To participate in all the contests and activities in English

 A. Pupil Development

TABLE 1. DIPACULAO RAT ENGLISH MPS FOR THREE YEARS
S.Y. 2008-2011

Grade Level 2008-2009 2009-2010 2010-2011

One 56.85 48.42
Two 54.5 50.39
Three 57.37 47.73
Four 53.88 53.52
Five 50.5 54.31
Six 60.38 62.89
Overall MPS 55.64 ≈52.88

The table above shows that the English MPS last year decreased as
compared in SY 2008-2009. Only Grade V and VI had improved the MPS.

a.2. Result of Phil-IRI Oral Reading Test: Pre-Test and Posttest

Total 4731 4480 1120 129 3035 1815 339 1207 236 1330

The table above shows that the number of non readers from pretest
decreased in a very large number as the post test results showed. The different
reading levels also show great improvement in post test. This can be attributed to
the commitment of the reading teachers to improve the reading level of their
pupils.

identified as non readers at the end of the school year. This was due to the rigid
implementation of ECARP (Every Child A Reader Program) and use of Developing
Reading Power books. All the schools also ran remedial reading programs.
However, the table shows that there are still non readers in Grades II-VI in
other schools.

Table 4. NAT 6 ENGLISH MEAN PERCENTILE SCORE

S.Y. 2007-2008 S.Y. 2008-2009 S.Y. 2009-2010

It’s sad to note that the MPS of English for the past three years is
decreasing.
S.Y.2009-2010 has the lowest MPS.
