Abstract:
This aimed to investigate English language learning skills of senior high school remote learners in Batangas City this pandemic. More specifically, this study intended to assess the learners’ language learning styles; determine the learners’ motivations for English language learning; evaluate the learners’ language learning strategies; test the significant relationship between English language learning styles and motivations, as well as strategies, along with motivation and strategies for English language learning, and propose an English communication skills intervention program for the enhancement of English language skills for flexible remote learning this pandemic. This research, participated by 386 randomly selected senior high school students, used quantitative data and descriptive research technique for analysis. The study found that the learners’ dominant English language learning style is project orientation while their motivation is mainly unwillingness – based with meta–cognitive strategies employed in English language learning. Furthermore, holistic English language learning considers learners’ learning styles, motivations, and strategies wherein an intervention program for the enhancement of English communication skills for flexible remote learning was proposed. As such, curriculum designers may provide provisions for group activities maximizing internet connectivity like social media that emphasize teaching – learning activities enabling socialization and collaboration among learners. Even more, DepEd may promote English language learning as a fun and worthwhile skill while English language teachers may devise teaching – learning activities that highlight vocabulary enhancement. In support, English language coordinators may enforce use of teaching – learning strategies relevant to learners’ information needs and generation characteristics and future researchers may consider comparing results of current investigation with other learning modalities to be implemented by the education department while transitioning to the new normal. More so, the proposed intervention program may be considered and implemented.
