The Philippines faces challenges in reading comprehension, as evidenced by its frequent placement among the bottom 10 countries in international assessments. In the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) during 2022, the Philippines ranked 76th out of 81 nations, representing a modest improvement over its 2018 position. Nearly 91% of Filipino 10-year-olds have difficulty with reading comprehension, according to recent studies. This study investigated how non-tutors implemented the Phil- IRI program in their classrooms and the strategies they used to support struggling readers. A mixed-methods approach was undertaken, merging qualitative interviews with teachers about their experiences and quantitative analysis of student reading outcomes through statistical techniques. Results indicate that non-tutor instructors in the Cordova District expressed highly positive professional perceptions of Phil-IRI implementation, reflected by an Average Weighted Mean of 3.35 (Strongly Agree). To assist frustrated readers at their schools, activities primarily involved one-on-one or peer tutoring. The findings suggest that, to reduce student anxiety and encourage regular home-school communication, teachers can apply engaging, information-driven strategies such as gamifying daily exercises with word games and context-clue challenges. Moreover, school administrators and parents are encouraged to actively support, address the needs of, and guide frustrated learners.

This study focused on the encountered difficulties and coping mechanisms of adult elementary learners in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in the Lapu-Lapu City Division, highlighting their educational experiences and challenges in continuing their studies. The study aimed to determine the difficulties encountered by adult elementary learners and identify the coping mechanisms they used to overcome these challenges while studying in ALS. A qualitative research design utilizing thematic content analysis was employed through semi-structured interviews with selected adult elementary learners in ALS. The findings revealed that the participants experienced financial difficulties, limited learning resources, and conflicts between personal responsibilities and academic tasks that affected their learning process. Despite these difficulties, the learners demonstrated resilience through effective time management, self-motivation, family support, and positive attitudes toward education, which enabled them to continue pursuing their studies. The study concluded that ALS serves as an important educational opportunity for adult learners by providing flexible learning experiences that support their educational goals despite existing challenges. It is recommended that ALS implementers strengthen academic support, provide sufficient learning materials, and develop programs that address the personal and educational needs of adult learners.

Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English

This study explored the oral assessment strategies used by 30 ESL teachers in Mactan, Lapu-Lapu City during the school year 2025-2026. Researchers used a convergent mixed-methods design based on Communicative Language Teaching and Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory. Data were gathered using custom surveys, interviews and direct observations. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results showed that teachers adapted communicative and interactive methods of assessment to the level of proficiency of the students. Teachers concentrated on reading-aloud and question-and-answer activities for beginners. Intermediate learners were assessed by guided conversations and sharing of experiences, while advanced learners were assessed by discussions and complex problem-solving activities. The study recommends that educational institutions continue to support collaborative instructional and assessment practices that are student-centered.

This study examined the Role of E-Assessment tools in language teaching among upper-grade elementary teachers. It sought to explore elementary teachers' experiences, views, and practices regarding the application of e-assessment tools in language instruction. It also sought to determine the common tools applied in language instruction and how they contributed to student engagement, feedback, and assessment. In conducting the study, qualitative research methods were applied. This entailed conducting in-depth interviews and administering questionnaires among elementary teachers. Thematic analysis of the study's data revealed several interesting findings. For instance, the study found that teachers applied e-assessment tools to make language instruction interactive. They also applied the tools to monitor students’ progress and give immediate feedback. However, some challenges affecting the application of the tools included a lack of internet connectivity, limited access to digital devices, and insufficient training in their use. The study found that teachers’ attitudes towards the application of e- assessment in language instruction are positive, as it enhances teaching effectiveness. Based on the study, it is recommended that e-assessment tools are important in enhancing effective language instruction. It is also recommended that teachers receive adequate training to maximize the use of e-assessment tools in language instruction.

Feedback is a crucial element in teaching mentoring, shaping professional growth, instructional practices and collaborative learning between mentors and mentees. This study explored the experiences, perspectives and challenges related to feedback among elementary teachers during classroom observation and mentoring sessions. Employing a qualitative research design, the study focused on the lived experiences of teachers. 20 participants were purposely selected, including 5 mentors and 15 mentees. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions and analyzed thematically to identify patterns in experiences, perceptions and challenges. Findings indicate that feedback significantly enhances teaching strategies, promotes reflective practice, and facilitates effective adjustment between mentors and mentees. Nevertheless, challenges such as differing expectations, communication barriers and timing constraints were observed. Based on the findings, recommendations are proposed to strengthen feedback processes and support more effective mentoring practices in elementary education.
