Abstract

This study investigated the relationships between oral language proficiency level and oral compensatory strategies of the Grade 8 learners. It also described the possible association of compensatory strategies to academic performance in English, and their mother tongue. A total of 50 learners who were enrolled during the School Year 2021-2022 served as the participants in this study. The researcher used two (2) assessment tools to gather the needed data. The first was a questionnaire validated through an oral interview that consisted of 8-10 “Wh” questions related to their background. The second was the picture-cued narration. The researcher personally administered both the interview and the picture cued narration. The data gathered were computer processed using the software on Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results denote a considerably high level of Oral Language Proficiency with a grand mean of 3.70 in terms of accuracy and 3.63 on fluency which means that the participants belong to the group of advanced intermediate speakers. However, there was no significant relationship between oral language proficiency and compensatory strategies of the participants as well as on their academic performance in English and their mother tongue.
