Abstract

This study sought to assess the level of performance in English of the Grade 4 learners in Camposanto Elementary School, Moncada South District, Tarlac Province during the school year 2023-2024 through the quantitative-descriptive research design. The quantitative-descriptive research design was employed to determine the level of performance in English of the Grade 4 learners based on their final rating for school year 2023-2024. It was also utilized to look into the weaknesses in English of the Grade 4 learners. Based on the findings, drill exercises in English were developed to enhance the level of performance in English of the Grade 4 learners. The developed drill exercises were evaluated by experts as to their acceptability in terms of content, quality of presentation and physical make-up. The sources of data in this study were the English teachers in Camposanto Elementary School who provided data to answer the sub-problems raised in the study with 43 Grade 4 learners as subjects of the study. Percentage and weighted mean were utilized in the study to treat the data statistically. Summary of Findings: 1.0 Level of Performance in English of the Grade 4 Learners There were 12 or 27.91% of the learners who obtained “advanced” level of performance or rating of 90-100%. There were 21 or 48.84% of the learners who obtained 85-89% rating described as “proficient” level of performance. There were 8 or 18.60% learners with 80-84% rating described as “approaching proficiency” performance. There were 2 learners or 4.65% with 75-79% rating described as developing performance. No learners obtained rating of below 75% described as “beginning” performance. 2.0 Weaknesses in English of the Grade 4 Learners The weaknesses in English of the Grade 4 learners are the following: Writing an editorial; Distinguishing among types of journalistic writing; Distinguishing fact from opinion in a narrative; Identifying the main idea, key sentences and supporting details from the text listened to; Distinguishing between general and specific statements; Using adverbs of manner, place and time in sentences; Using past forms of regular and irregular verbs; Identifying context words (denotation and connotation); Noting significant details of various text types; and Recognizing the parts of a simple paragraph 3.0 Proposed Drill Exercises in English for Grade 4 Learners Drill exercises in English for Grade 4 learners were proposed to enhance their level of performance. 4.0 Acceptability of the Proposed Drill Exercises in English for Grade 4 Learners In terms of content, both groups of respondents assessed the proposed drill exercises as “very acceptable” with weighted means of 4.55 to 5.00. In terms of quality of presentation, both groups gave “very acceptable” evaluation with weighted means of 4.50 to 4.55. In terms of physical make-up, the proposed drill exercises are “very acceptable with weighted means of 4.50. The overall WM was 4.67 from the school heads and 4.55 from the teachers for “very acceptable” assessment. Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. Most of the Grade 4 leaners are proficient in English which indicates that they have high level of acquisition of the concepts and skills in English. 2. The weaknesses in English of the Grade 4 learners include writing an editorial, distinguishing among types of journalistic writing and distinguishing fact from opinion in a narrative. 3. Drill exercises in English were proposed for the Grade 4 learners to address their identified weaknesses in English and enhance their level of performance. 4. The developed drill exercises are very acceptable based on the evaluation of English teachers. Based on the findings of the study and the conclusions drawn, the following recommendations were offered: 1. The developed drill exercises should be considered for use by the teachers of the Grade 4 learners to enhance their level of academic performance. 2. Teachers should be encouraged to develop instructional materials particularly on subjects/topics where most learners encounter difficulty. 3. The school administration should provide support in the production of the instructional materials developed by teachers. 4. Other researchers may conduct similar studies on a wider scope to validate the findings of the study.
