The data from the proficiency test mean scores of the respondents in the pre-test and
post-test, before and after the EL Pro implementation, reveals notable improvements in
reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. Specifically, there was a consistent increase of
1 point in the mean scores for reading and writing, indicating enhanced proficiency in these
areas. Additionally, the mean scores for listening also improved by 1 point, reflecting
progress in comprehension skills. Notably, the mean score for speaking increased by 1 point
from the pre-test to the post-test, revealing that the speaking proficiency of the respondents
improved upon the implementation of the EL Pro Literacy. In summary, there is a significant
difference in their proficiency test scores results after El Pro Literacy program
implementation and the students have higher proficiency levels in the post-test than the pre-
test.

impact of the Program on the test scores. The students’ test score results gave the researcher a
clear picture of the impact or effect of the program. The data generated is presented in matrix

indicate the dispersion of scores around the mean, show a notable increase from 91.85 in the
pre-test to 98.05 in the post-test. This rise in variability in post-test scores suggests a broader
range of performance levels among respondents, likely due to the program's efficacy in
addressing diverse learner needs and boosting proficiency levels. In essence, there is a

Also, the computed p-value for two tail is 0.200323 with a significance level of alpha 0.05.
Since the p-value is greater than alpha 0.05, we failed to reject the H0. So, the decision

CONCLUSION
compared to 44% male participants. The Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand
dominated the academic distribution with 63% representation, while the General Academic
Strand (GAS) accounted for 37%. The Experimental Group constituted 73% of participants,
surpassing the Control Group at 27%. Following the EL Pro Literacy program
listening skills, reflected in improved proficiency scores. The post-test variance indicated a
wider performance range, showcasing the program's efficacy in boosting proficiency levels.
The statistical analyses using frequency, ANOVA, and chi-square tests unveiled varying
significance levels across different study dimensions. While some areas like reading skills by
sex and academic strand lacked significant associations, others such as speaking skills by
academic strand revealed notable associations. Overall, the data underscores the positive
impact of the EL Pro Literacy program on enhancing students' English language proficiency.
The study emphasizes the influence of factors like gender and academic strand on students'
responses and proficiency levels in various language skills assessments, highlighting the
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the results of the study the following recommendations are hereby
suggested.
1. Encourage students to engage in real-life language scenarios, such as debates,
reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills and improve overall proficiency levels.
4. Explore how proficiency levels evolve over time and identify factors that contribute
areas for improvement, and provide timely feedback for language skill development.
