ABSTRACT
This thesis study aimed to investigate the
effectiveness of the English campaign and the English
proficiency of students in Bohol Wisdom School
specifically, the students in the college department.
The study will use a descriptive survey research design
with the aid of perceptionnaire for assessing the
implementation of the English Campaign and a
questionnaire for evaluating the respondents' English
proficiency. The study will explore the current
proficiency of students in the English language -
Spelling Vocabulary, Grammar and Usage, and Reading
Comprehension.
The college students may acquire proficiency in
English – Spelling Vocabulary, Grammar and Usage, and
Reading Comprehension however, their proficiency is not
solely dependent on the implementation of the English
campaign in the department. This means that the English
proficiency of the college students is not significant
to the implementation of the English campaign.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
Language is important in our lives as it is vital
in communication for human connection. It allows us to
share ideas and feelings with others, and build
relationships. Speaking, writing and reading are
integral in everyday living, where language acts as the
primary tool for expression and communication.
English can be confusing even for people who
learned it as their first language. It contains
countless exceptions to what seems to be an endless
list of rules. This connects too many different issues
in learning and teaching the English language - poor
English vocabulary confusing spelling, no interaction,
or lack thereof with native speakers, difficult
grammar, feeling embarrassed, confusion colloquialisms,
and slang pronunciation.
One of the most common problems that Filipino
students face is their difficulty in speaking English.
There are several reasons why Filipino students find it
hard to speak English. First, the Philippines is a
country with a rich diversity of languages. As a
result, many Filipino students are not exposed to
English as often as they should be. Second, the
educational system in the Philippines is heavily
focused on rote learning. This means that students are
often memorizing facts and figures without really
understanding the concepts behind them. Third, the
Philippines is a largely rural country. This means that
many Filipino students may not have access to the
resources that would help them learn English
effectively. Despite the challenges, there are still
many Filipino students who are able to speak English
fluently. This is because they are willing to put in
the effort to learn the language. They understand that
English is a critical language in today’s globalized
world and that it can open up many opportunities for
them.
The highlight of this study is to examine the
students’ perception of the effectiveness of the
English Campaign and the English Proficiency of College
Seniors in Bohol Wisdom School. The English Campaign
ensures the use of the English language by emphasizing
to its students that English is a skill to be used in
communication.
Literature Background
The English Language is important for students to
broaden their minds, and improves their quality of life
by opening doors to different opportunities.
This study is anchored on Bruner's Interactionist
Theory (1983), Chomsky Universal Grammar Theory (1956),
Piaget’s Theory of Assimilation and Accommodation
(1919) and Cummins Common Underlying Proficiency Theory
(1980).
Bruner's Interactionist Theory (1983) proposes
that language exists for the purpose of communication
and can only be learned in the context of interaction
with adults and other children. Language develops
depending on social interactions. This includes the
people with whom a child may interact and the overall
experience of the interaction. The social environment a
child grows up in affects how well and how quickly they
develop their language skills.
In addendum, in order to be fluent in speaking
English; one should practice speaking English through
interacting with others. Furthermore, this interaction
will help children to be encouraged to communicate with
others in the school which helps to enhance their
English Proficiency.

CAMPAIGN PROFICIENCY
Proposed Action Plan
Chomsky’s Universal Grammar Theory (1956),
suggests that children learn the language as a normal
course of development as they are facilitated by their
Universal Grammar. When a child begins to listen to
his/her parents, the child will unconsciously recognize
which kind of language a child is dealing with, and
that said child will set his/her own grammar to the
correct one.
An individual naturally holds ability to learn
grammar through their brain regardless the language.
Chomsky believed that the basic structures of language
are already set into human brain upon birth. Therefore,
an individual has its own idea on what language is
being used as he/she is interacting by others in a
daily basis. Human is born with the tools to learn
language with the aid of the given set of rules in the
environment for him to understand and produce native
language.
Cummins’ Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency
proposed (1984) states that the language ability is
required for academic achievement in a context-reduced
environment includes school, classroom lectures and
textbook reading assignments where there are few
environmental cues like facial expressions or gestures
that enable students to comprehend and understand the
message and the content. The language one needs for
academic and higher-order cognitive purposes that is
used in discussing topics in a more academic and
professional level where learners interact with the use
of English as a medium of communication to convey
his/her own knowledge and subject-specific vocabulary
is required. The concept of Cognitive Academic Language
Proficiency deal with skills essential to academics
such as listening, reading, speaking, and how to write
about the relevant subject matter. Landing this
language skill is a crucial concept when it comes to
student’s academic success. It takes time and patience
for a student to become proficient in language skills
necessary for academic learning.
This theory implies the connection of one’s
intelligence with his language proficiency mainly,
proficiency in English language. Knowledge in language
is pressed for a student to succeed in academic.
Piaget’s Assimilation and Accommodation (1919),
Language development suggests that students use both
assimilation and accommodation to learn language.
Assimilation is the process of changing one’s
environment to place information into an already
existing schema or idea. The theory of Assimilation
deals about the environment itself in which a
particular community or area is changing depends on the
way of living of the people or the language that is
being used by the people. Assimilation attempts to
interpret new information about the language within the
framework of existing knowledge. Accommodation is the
changing of one’s schema to adapt to the new
environment. An individual is able to adjust in which
he/she is located and is able to adapt what language is
used in a specific environment. New information changes
or replaces an existing knowledge and transforms
current interpretation of reality. Piaget believed that
children need to first develop mentally before language
acquisition occur.
Children first create mental structures within the
mind called schemas and from these schemas, language
development occurs. However, the English language is
always evolving, and with these mistakes in learning
the English language happens inevitably. When errors
persist, misunderstanding comes in that causes delays
in decoding and encoding of information. There is an
assumption that all languages have a common structural
basis. Regardless of this, the learner will eventually
develop their skills and competence in learning the
English language as the learner is exposed to a world
that uses English as a medium of communication.
Executive Order No. 210, establishing the policy
to strengthen the use of the English language as a
medium of instruction in the Educational System. It is
said that English grammar is the most important aspect
of English competencies which affirms that there is a
need to develop the aptitude, competence, and
proficiency of our students in the English language as
a medium of instruction
English is used widely in the global especially in
the economy. The executive order no. 210 supports the
usage of English language in the school, therefore
English is used in different subjects in giving
discussion and instructions. Additionally, the
competence and proficiency of all students in the use
of the English language make them better prepared for
the job opportunities emerging in the new technology-
driven sectors of the economy.
Article IV of the CHED Memorandum Order No. 24,
Series of 2017, Section 5.2, Global communication in
the twenty-first century is made possible using
English, a language understood by all. As an official
language of the Philippines, English is integrated into
schools by theory in practice to produce graduates who
not only have adequate facility of English but can
competently and effectively use the language in
different contexts and for various purposes.
Bohol Wisdom School has a policy that is being
implemented which is the English Campaign. This
campaign encourages the students to use English
language in interacting with one another inside the
school campus. This let the students to maximize the
use of English and help them to develop their
competence and proficiency.
The learners’ understanding of the language
aspects makes them acquire the language for the process
of understanding the reading materials. It simplifies
about understanding the language aspects of vocabulary,
grammar, and pronunciation for meaning in acquiring the
language. Reading will not only improve reading
comprehension, but also other language aspects
including grammar. Getting the learners to respond or
talk in their class is a problem that most teachers
face. Such problem affects the progress of the learners
toward improving their oral fluency and accuracy
requiring teachers to put more effort in their teaching
strategies so that learners are able to demonstrate
mastery of basic skills in English (Tapa, et. al.,
2021).
Teachers must explicitly teach speaking in
language classrooms to challenge learners to use the
target language. The use of the target language serves
as a dynamic skill involving simultaneous processes
requiring the speaker’s knowledge and skills to be
activated in real world speaking situations (Goh &
Burns, 2019). This means that simply giving speaking
activities to learners is not the same as learning the
knowledge, skills and strategies of speaking.
Teachers have to be competitive enough in using
the language to effectively teach students in becoming
critical and analytical in communicating with the use
of English. Learning experiences that will help
students reach the optimum level of their communicative
ability must be provided (Suelto, 2020). However, the
teacher’s assistance in the classroom setting will
further motivate students to pursue learning and
developing their English language skills.
According to Maria Lourdes DC. Ramirez (2019), in
her articles, English serves as a tool for global
networks and for local identities. There is a need to
achieve higher English proficiency level among students
in order to meet the demands of time and to totally
gear them up for global competitiveness. This is the
reason why our educational system is taking the lead to
uplift the level of proficiency of our students in
English.
Since English is considered as a worldwide used
language, it is a need for every learner to be
proficient enough in using the language in
communicating. Integrating the use of English language
help the students to prepare them to become a competent
speaker of the language would be a great help to build
their self-esteem and also it is an edge for a more
opportunities they may face in a real-life situation
either locally or domestically.
Charisse M. Tocmo (2020) stated that the
Philippines is always referred to as an English-
Speaking country. Amidst of the Mother Tongue Based
Education Program of Department of Education, still,
some schools implement the use of English Policy in
which it uses English as a medium of instruction and
practice in developing a competitive individual An
institution is in charge of the student’s additional
knowledge and learning as well as opening a door
towards chances.
Despite the spread of many languages and dialects
across the nation, English only policy is implemented
in many schools specifically the Bohol Wisdom School
which uses English language as a medium of
communication in order for the students to enhance
their speaking skills in English and to competently
speak the language that would hone them for future
purposes.
English grammar is precisely one of the important
requirements to enhance the English Proficiency of
students. The use of the English language brings out a
lot of better opportunities for students in their
future careers in teaching. It has been asserted that
the English language is the universal language for it
can be understood easily by everyone around the globe.
One’s competence in English grammar leads him or her to
stand proficient in whatever objective or purpose he or
she meets.
THE PROBLEM
Statement of the Problem
The main thrust of this study was to examine the
students’ perception of the effectiveness of the
English Campaign and the English Proficiency of College
Students.
Specifically, this study sought to answer the
following questions:
1. What is the English proficiency profile of the
freshmen and senior students in the education
department in terms of:
1.1 spelling vocabulary,
1.2 grammar and usage; and,
1.3 reading comprehension?
2. What is the profile of the respondents’ perception
on the effectiveness of English Campaign?
3. What is the respondents’ profile on the English
proficiency?
4. Is there a significant relationship between the
effectiveness of the English Campaign and the English
Proficiency of the College of education students?
5. What action plan could be proposed base on the
findings of the study?
Statement of Hypothesis
There is no significant relationship between the
effectiveness of the implementation of the English
Campaign and the English Proficiency of the College of
Education students.
Significance of the Study
The researchers pursued this work with the hope of
producing an output, which proves beneficial to the
following:
School Administrators. They would take certain
measures which would cater to the learning difficulties
of the students, particularly in English competencies.
English Language Teachers. They would employ
strategies and provide programs to improve the
student’s proficiency in English competencies.
Students. The results of the study make the
students identify their proficiency in the English
language.
Future Researchers. This study will be a valuable
resource for researchers who wish to do any similar
research that adheres to the standards underlying the
Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English. This
research could be one of the foundations for a new
learning theory.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Design
This study employed the descriptive-survey
research design with the aid of perceptionnaire for the
English Campaign and questionnaire for the English
proficiency as the main data-gathering tool. The
perceptionnaire technique is a valuable method for
gathering the desired data from the perceptions of the
respondents.
Environment and Respondents
This study was conducted at Bohol Wisdom School
located at Carlos P. Garcia, North Avenue, Tagbilaran
City, Bohol. It is the only private Filipino-Chinese
Academic institution in Bohol that has been managed and
operated by the current elected members of the Board of
Trustees who are mostly from the Filipino – Chinese
community in Bohol. Bohol Wisdom School was founded in
1930 and currently offering pre-elementary, elementary,
secondary (junior high school and senior high school),
college (undergraduate programs).
The respondents of this study were the college
students, specifically from the 1st year to the 4th year
level who were enrolled at Bohol Wisdom School during
the school year 2022 – 2023.

Instruments
This study utilized the use of perceptionnaire for
the English Campaign and standardized questionnaire for
the English proficiency to obtain the desired data
among the college students. The test perception items
of the English Campaign were referred from the study
Cornito (2020) and websites from the internet, and the
test questionnaire for the English Proficiency were
referred from the study of Tapa (2021) and Tadle (2022)
that are checked by experts for comments and revisions.
The specific perceptionnaire is composed of 30 items
for the effectiveness of the English campaign and 30
items questionnaire for the English proficiency.
Data Gathering Procedure
In conducting the study, the researchers asked
permission from the Dean of the College of Education to
allow them to conduct the study. They also asked the
registrar for the list of names of college students and
asked the research statistician about the formula to be
used in this study. Total population sampling was used.
The perceptionnaire and questionnaire were given to
their block governor and retrieved the next day. The
data will be collected, tallied, interpreted, and
statistically treated.
Statistical Treatment
The scores of students were gathered and were
used for statistical treatment.
r = √[ n∑ x 2−( ∑ x ) 2 ] [n ∑ y 2−( ∑ y ) 2 ]
n ( ∑ xy )− ( ∑ x ) (∑ y)
Where:
r = Pearson r Correlation Coefficient
n = number of value in each data set
∑xy = sum of the products of paired scores
∑x = sum of x scores

Chapter 2
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter extends the analysis and
interpretation of data proportional to the effectivity
of the English campaign and English proficiency –
Spelling Vocabulary, Grammar and Usage, and Reading
Comprehension of the College students. This section is
subdivided into two parts.
The first part shows the data which composes
Respondents’ English proficiency profile in Spelling
Vocabulary (Table 2), Grammar and Usage (Table 3), and
Reading Comprehension (Table 4).
The second part presents the data which consists
of the Respondents’ profiles of their perception of the
effectiveness of the English Campaign of Spelling
Vocabulary (Table 5), Grammar and usage (Table 6), and
Reading Comprehension (Table 7).

respondent’s profile of the Spelling Vocabulary. 80% of
the respondents fall under the “advanced” category,
ranking it first. While 0.5% of the respondents fall
under the “beginning” category, making it to the last
ranking. It implies that the majority of the
respondents were “advanced”. This indicates that the
most of the respondents were proficient and competent
enough to write the correct spelling of a word when
given the right meaning and pronunciation of a word.
In line with the result, a study from Prodanovska
(2022) states the spelling is more than just a process
or activity of writing or naming the letters of a word,
or a correct way of writing by combining words and
minding rules of writing and reading in a foreign
language. It encompasses acquiring profound
phonological knowledge, morphological awareness, and
sound knowledge of orthographic rules. Therefore, in
order to be able to spell correctly learners need to
have a proper control of the structure and sound system
of a language and its spelling rules.

Table 3 shows the respondent’s profile of Grammar
and Usage. Majority of the respondents which is 81%
which belongs to the "advanced" category based on the
result of their grammar and usage proficiency test with
the use of the questionnaire. This indicates that most
of the respondents are advanced or is more proficient
and confident in their grammar and usage when using the
second language.
Leyaley (2020) showed that the English language
proficiency of first-year students registered in the
Institution of Teacher Education in Kalinga-Apayao is
regardless of what kind of institution they left after
high school, the curriculum is referred to as Early
Intermediate. They can thus engage in English
communication using their previous taught vocabulary
and sentences structures.
On the contrary, they frequently make grammatical,
word choice, and pronunciation mistakes. Therefore,
they considerably gain from specific instruction and
modelling of high-frequency vocabulary, grammatical
constructions, and frameworks for sentences (Baeta et
al., 2022).

Table 4 shows the respondent’s profile in Reading
Comprehension. 45% of the respondents fall under the
“beginning” category; ranking it first, while 0.5 of
the respondents belonged to the “proficient” category.
Most of the respondents are in the beginning level of
their reading comprehension, the researchers found out
that encountering unfamiliar words of respondents is
the main reason that can affect the student’s
performance in terms of reading comprehension, and lack
of confidence is the main problem of the respondents
why they have difficulty in oral communication.
According Chen et, al. (2020), reading
comprehension is a multifaceted process that requires
the integration and coordination of a variety of
abilities, including word decoding, the capacity to
decipher or recognize written words, and speech or
listening comprehension, the ability to comprehend what
is decoded in spoken form. It is also found in their
study that difficulties in grammar are the main problem
of the students because of the poor use of the English
language in the country, especially in their house and
in the school and because English is not used if not
necessary, which significantly affects their academic
performances.

Table 5 presents the profile of the respondent’s
perception of their Spelling vocabulary proficiency.
Data revealed that item 7, “I love learning new words
in English and use them in regular conversations with
the help of English Campaign” gained the highest mean
of 3.32 with a descriptive value of Not Effective,
while item 6 which is “I can memorize words easily”
gained the lowest weighted mean of 2.52 with a
descriptive value of Moderately Effective. Based on the
overall weighted mean which is 2.99 with a descriptive
value of Moderately Effective, this implies that the
implementation of English campaign has been a medium
factor that aided students’ skills and is helpful to
the respondents in developing their Spelling Vocabulary
as students continue to exercise the usage of the
English language.
This result is parallel to the study of Tetyana
Koshmanova and Brandy Bessette-Symons (2021) entitled
"The Effect of English-Only Language Policy on English
Language Learners’ Acquisition of Academic English
Vocabulary". This study examines the effect of an
English-only language policy on English Language
Learners' acquisition of academic English vocabulary.
The proponents found that English Language Learners in
an English-only language policy environment had
significantly lower levels of academic English
vocabulary acquisition than those in a bilingual
education environment.

“I am not confident in speaking English” gained the
lowest mean of 2.54 with a descriptive value of
Moderately Effective. Based on the overall weighted
mean which 2.99 with a descriptive value of Moderately
Effective, this implies that the implementation of
English campaign is effective in developing the
respondents’ skills in using the English language and
has a contribution of the students’ improvement on
their grammar and usage.
The study by Maritza Macdonald (2021) found that
an English language immersion program improved the
academic achievement and English proficiency of English
language learners in a New York City high school. The
program helped students develop their grammar and usage
skills, as well as their vocabulary and reading
comprehension. This indicates that students' technical
knowledge and proficiency in utilizing the language
will increase as they use it more frequently.

Moderately Effective implies that the implementation of
English campaign is effective in developing the
respondents’ skills through reading by the use of
English language and also contributes of the students’
improvement on comprehension skills.
Kazazoglu (2020) stated that reading is more
efficient with better performance in reading
comprehension tests in printed texts compared to the
text in digital. This implies that reading
comprehension can most be effective when attached in
printed text. Also, Guo et. al. (2020, indicated that
multimodal texts that incorporate images into the text
positively improve reading comprehension. This means
that given reading materials can rapidly increase the
improvement of student’s comprehension skills.

The result stated above is strengthened by a study
according to Wei (2020), which claims that most
university students in the English as Medium of
Instruction environment agreed that the policy can
improve their English communication abilities and this
study was also cited in the study of Rahayu & Margana
(2021), in which they added that the learners agreed to
have such instruction in their classroom as their
English proficiency improved. As they were exposed to
an English-speaking environment in the classroom, they
became more comfortable speaking English.
Chapter 3
SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter shows the summary of findings,
conclusions, and recommendations. The data gathered
which were analyzed and interpreted in the previous
chapter are summarized here.
Conclusions were drawn based on the findings of
the study.
Summary
The major goal of this study is to evaluate the
success of the English campaign's implementation and
the level of English proficiency among college students
at Bohol Wisdom School. 188 people responded to the
survey for the academic year 2022–2023.
A modified perceptionnare and a standardized
questionnaire are the main data collection tools in
this descriptive research study.
It also aims to determine the success of the
English campaign's execution and the current English
proficiency of college students.
Findings
Based on the data analysis, the following
conclusions, and recommendations were drawn, using the
findings as the foundation:
1. Proficiency perceptionnaire profile in Spelling
Vocabulary with the computed r of 0.0402, the
results showed that the respondents are not
proficient in spelling vocabulary through the
implementation of English Campaign.
2. Proficiency perceptionnaire profile in Grammar and
Usage with the computed r of 0.0662, the results
showed that the respondents are not proficient in
grammar and usage though the implementation of
English Campaign.
3. Proficiency perceptionnaire profile in Reading
Comprehension with the computed r of 0.1388, the
results showed that the respondents are not
proficient in reading comprehension through the
implementation of English campaign.
4. The results of the respondents’ English proficiency
showed that the implementation of the English
campaign directly affects the students’ English
proficiency.
Conclusions
Based on the findings, it can be concluded that
the there is a significant relationship between the
effectiveness of the English Campaign and the English
Proficiency of the College of Education students.
However, college students may acquire proficiency in
English – Spelling Vocabulary, Grammar and Usage, and
Reading Comprehension but their proficiency in using
the English language is not solely dependent on the
implementation of the English campaign in the
department.
Recommendations
English proficiency is an important skill for
college students, as it can impact their academic and
career opportunities. Here are some potential
recommendations from the researchers based on the
findings:
1. School administrators may continue and consistently
implement the rules and consequences of the English
campaign policy, choose resources, curriculum, and
teaching methodologies for the student-centered
campaign.
2. Teachers may expand campaign scope, frequency,
duration for increased English language engagement
among students and implement several strategies to
maintain the students’ improvement regarding their
English proficiency.
3. Students may maintain a language learning journal to
track progress and document milestones of language
proficiency growth and may consistently use the
language inside or outside the campus for them to
nurture their second language skills.
4. Future researchers may conduct more studies related
to English proficiency and English campaign and conduct
a follow-up study to assess the long-term impact of the
English campaign on students' proficiency.
ACTION PLAN
EFFECTIVENESS OF ENGLISH AND CAMPAIGN
AND ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
English language proficiency is crucial for
individuals seeking to participate in today's global
community. The increasing importance of English as a
lingua franca in academic, business, and social
contexts worldwide has led to a growing demand for
high-quality English language education. To meet this
demand, schools and institutions have established
English language environments, where learners are
immersed in an English-speaking environment to promote
language acquisition and proficiency. "Effective
English campaigns can bridge the language gap and
promote social integration, fostering a more inclusive
and diverse society." – (Dr. Michael Lee 2007).
However, the effectiveness of these environments in
enhancing English language proficiency is still
debatable, and there is a need to explore the factors
that contribute to their success or failure.
The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of
the implementation of the English language campaign and
the English proficiency of college students in Bohol
Wisdom School. The rationale for this study is based on
the importance of English proficiency in the globalized
world. English is widely accepted as the language of
international communication, and proficiency in English
is essential for individuals to succeed in various
fields such as education, employment, and business.
With this, the researchers yearn to recommend
strategies to improve the implementation of the English
campaign and English proficiency for the benefit of the
participants in this study, including the students,
teachers, school administrators, parents, and future
researchers,
Objectives
The following goals are sought to be accomplished by
the proposed improvement plan for the Effectiveness of
the English Campaign and English Proficiency:
1. Increase the number of students who are proficient
in English language skills, particularly in reading,
writing, speaking, and listening
2. Encourage greater interest and engagement in
learning English as a second language.
3. Foster greater awareness and appreciation of the
importance of English proficiency for personal and
professional success.
4. Enhance the competitiveness of the nation's
workforce by improving English language skills.
5. To promote bilingualism and multiculturalism among
students.
6. To prepare students for higher education and careers
that require English proficiency.
7. To raise awareness among parents and educators about
the importance of English language education.
8. To establish a benchmark for measuring the progress
of students' English language proficiency.
Mechanics of Implementation
1. Effectiveness of the English campaign in the school:
- Conduct a needs assessment to determine the current
level of English proficiency among students and
identify areas that need improvement.
- Develop a clear and comprehensive English campaign
strategy that aligns with the school's goals and
objectives.
- Allocate resources, such as funds and personnel, to
support the English campaign.
- Establish a monitoring and evaluation system to
assess the impact of the campaign on students' English
proficiency.

that covers grammar, writing, listening, and speaking
skills.
- Encourage students to participate in extracurricular
activities related to the English language, such as
literature clubs or debate teams.
- Provide opportunities for students to practice their
English skills through language immersion programs or
online language learning platforms.
- Conduct regular assessments to track students'
progress, identify areas of weakness, and adapt
teaching strategies accordingly.
3. Expanding students’ motivation and engagement in
learning English:
- Design engaging and interactive learning activities
that cater to students' diverse learning styles.
- Incorporate technology into the English curriculum,
such as educational apps and multimedia resources.

1. Conduct pre-and post-assessments to measure the
English proficiency levels of the students before and
after the implementation of the improvement plan.
2. Implement regular assessments every semester or
academic year to track the progress of the student’s
English proficiency.
3. Gather feedback from teachers, students, and parents
about the effectiveness of the English campaign and the
improvement plan. Conduct classroom observations to
observe students’ engagement in learning English.
4. Collect and analyze data on English proficiency
levels, attendance, scores on assessments, and
demographics.

4. Between the 1970s and the last decade of the 20th
century, the Superior Court was strongly committed to
court coordination with the twenty-four former
Municipal Court Judicial Districts throughout Los
Angeles County. Through these efforts, the
participating courts were able to maximize use of their
limited resources to provide necessary services in
support of judicial, clerical, and administrative
functions. Furthermore, duplication of functions was
eliminated and centralized operations were set up to
administer certain court support functions.

5. When a publicly recorded property transfer occurs,
the Assessor generally receives a copy of the deed and
determines whether a reappraisal is required under
State law. If it is required, an appraisal is made to
determine the new market value of the property. The
property owner is then notified of the new assessment.
The property owner has the right to appeal the value,
if he/she does not agree with it. The transfer of
property between husband and wife does not cause a
reappraisal for property tax purposes. This includes
transfers resulting from divorce or death. Also, the
addition of joint tenants, whether related or not, does
not result in reappraisal.
Based on the information provided, which of the
following statements is CORRECT?

appraised
value has the right to dispute it.
B. Transfers of property that are outside the
public record is still subject to reappraisal.
C. An assessor receives notice from a variety of
internal and external sources to determine if a
reappraisal is necessary.
D. A property that is reappraised at a lower value
than its previous appraisal value will result
in an unchanged appraised value.
6. The Registrar-Recorder’s “touch-screen voting”
project was very well received with nearly 22,000
voters casting their ballots on this modern equipment
at nine locations during the November 2000 election.
Blind and visually impaired voters especially liked the
system because they could vote privately and
independently with the aid of an audio component.
Furthermore, the system provided voters whose first
language is not English the ability to display the
ballot in their choice of one of seven languages. The
department is seeking increased funding to expand
touch-screen voting as an option for voters to cast
their ballot during the next election at 35-40
locations throughout the County.
The passages suggest that
A. touch-screen voting systems will be installed
at
35-40 locations throughout the County during
the next election.
B. non-English speaking voters were able to cast
their ballots by having the touch-screen voting
system display the ballot in any language of

November 2000 election.
7. Beginning in 1997, volunteers began performing civil
wedding ceremonies at a wedding chapel located at the
Registrar-Recorder’s office in Norwalk. To date, 35
volunteers have responded to our volunteer recruitment
and have been sworn-in as deputy commissioners of civil
marriage and trained to conduct marriage ceremonies.
The award-winning Marriage Ceremony Volunteer Program
provides citizens from all walks of life the
opportunity to volunteer in public service while saving
taxpayer money. Department staff, who performed
marriage ceremonies before the volunteer program was in
place, are now able to complete more specialized tasks
and help reduce backlogs which had developed as a
result of staff reductions in the Birth, Death, and
Marriage Section.
The passage implies that
A. productivity of Registrar-Recorder staff
performing specialized tasks has increased due
to the Marriage Ceremony Volunteer Program.
B. Deputy Commissioners of marriage are trained to
conduct civil and religious wedding ceremonies.
C. offering citizens a public service opportunity
was the primary incentive for the creation of
the Marriage Ceremony Volunteer Program.
D. Deputy Commissioners are responsible for
determining if couples have met the legal
requirements for marriage.
8. In arbitration, each side in the dispute presents
its case, including evidence, to a neutral third party
called an “arbitrator,” rather than to a judge. The
arbitrator, who is an attorney, issues an award based
on the evidence just as a judge would, within a time
frame set by the Court. Although evidence is presented,
arbitration is a less formal process than litigation.
Arbitration may be “binding” or “non-binding” depending
on what the parties agree to before beginning the
process. "Non-binding arbitration” means that the
participants in the case are not required to accept the
arbitrator’s award; they may request a “trial de novo”
which returns the case to the Court’s calendar as if
the arbitration had not occurred. It is important for
parties to understand that, in agreeing to binding
arbitration or by not requesting a trial de novo, they
are waiving their right to a trial and are accepting
the arbitrator’s award as a final decision.
Based on the information provided,
A. arbitration is not independent of the Court’s
influence.
B. the arbitrator’s determination of an award is
not as formally tied to laws, as a court
determination would be.
C. the use of arbitration is increasing as it
leads
to a faster resolution than a traditional court
trial.
D. the records of the arbitration are submitted to
the Courts if a case is returned for a decision
under a “trial de novo.”
9. The Brown Act governs meetings conducted by local
legislative bodies such as boards of supervisors, city
councils and school boards. As these legislative bodies
are charged with conducting the people's business, the
Brown Act ensures that the business is conducted in
open meetings, allowing public access and a free
exchange of opinions. The law recognizes that a balance
must be struck between the public's right to open
meetings and the legislative body's need for
confidentiality in certain circumstances. Although the
Brown Act allows for closed sessions in specific,
narrowly drawn exceptions, there is a presumption in
favour of public access. The District Attorney's Office
has the authority to prosecute individual members of
the legislative body criminally and to initiate civil
actions to prevent or nullify actions taken in
violation of the Brown Act. Based on the information
provided,
A. the public's access to local legislative
meetings ensures that the people's business
will
be conducted.
B. the Brown Act guarantees that a variety of
opinions will be presented during meetings by
local legislative bodies.
C. the need for confidentiality during the
meetings
of legislative bodies is considered a primary
requirement under the Brown Act.
D. members of local legislative bodies can be
prosecuted under the Brown Act.

more than 126 regional parks, nature centers, lakes,
natural areas, golf courses, neighborhood parks, and
nature trails. Many of the venues and areas patrolled
are recognized internationally, including the Hollywood
Bowl, John Anson Ford Amphitheatre, and the Los Angeles
County Arboretum. The bureau also has a reserve unit
and participates in the Boy Scouts of America Explorer
Program for both boys and girls and the Community
