Linguistic Competence also known as Language Performance is the subconscious knowledge possessed by the native speakers in order to apprehend and unfold the sounds, meaning, language, and pattern in constructing words, phrases and sentences that could relate to the academic performance of an individual.

With that, they need to assess in order to develop the process of teaching and learning. In line with that, the authors conducted a study that aims to determine the relationship of linguistic competence and academic performance in English subjects of Grade 11 students. The type of research being utilized in the study was descriptive since analyzing and interpreting the results were needed. In terms of identifying students’ linguistic competence dealing with phonology, morphology, semantic and syntax, Linguistic Competence Test was administered.

The students’ permanent record was used to determine students’ performance in English subjects. Based on the gathered data, the findings states that linguistic competence has a significant relationship with the students’ academic performance in English subjects.
