Abstract
The study aimed to determine the speaking proficiency of the students along the following language components: content, fluency, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. It also determined the students’ sociographic profile, academic profile, and affective profile. Frequency distribution, percentages, means and Pearson Moment Correlation were used to describe the results of the study. The result revealed that Most of the respondents are 17 years old, females and they speak Waray at home. Their most available learning materials at home are books. More than half of the students take Technical-vocational track and their general average in all English subjects is at a Very Satisfactory level. The students’ attitude towards speaking English is favorable and their motivation to speak English and self-confidence are high. The students' level of speaking skill is proficient in terms of pronunciation, but only moderately proficient in terms of content, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary. Their overall average in all English-related subjects is significantly correlated with their degree of speaking skill in terms of content, fluency, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Hence, it is recommended that English teachers should provide varied and communicative speaking activities which focus on the development of content, fluency, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Students are encouraged to participate actively on the activities given by the teacher to attain better grades in all English subjects.
