Abstract

Self-efficacy is a belief in one capability in accomplishing a particular task. Most of the related studies concluded that having a high self-efficacy has something to do with high performance at work. It has something to do with an individuals' work output/ production; however, some other literature revealed that it does not have something to do with an individual's performance. On the other side, the English language is the required medium of instruction yet the most feared. This study investigated the self-efficacy towards the English Proficiency Test of the teacher applicants from the Division of Romblon. Findings showed that respondents have Low Self- efficacy status towards English Proficiency Test. It concluded that proficient respondents have a Very Low Self-efficacy among the levels of English Proficiency compared to other levels that reached the Low level. Further, the overall English Proficiency of teacher applicants was at the Beginners level.

Summary

Introduction

Self-efficacy certifies an individual's proficiency, for it embodies competence and performance in the workplace (Artino, Jr., 2012). Filipino workers' competence in English is declining, and the disturbing part is that untrained and non-proficient teachers are heavily blamed (Meniado, 2018) In support of this declaration, the Department of Education led a study in 2008 discovering that 80 percent of secondary school teachers in the Philippines failed an English Proficiency Test. The enhancement of every department under education must uplift the importance of strict implementation of the English language In such a way, the school administrators guaranteed that their human resource competes globally and can alter the perception of neighboring countries about the current status of the English Proficiency Level of the Philippines. The results of an online survey determined the respondents' Self- Efficacy towards the English Proficiency Test
