English is the dominant international language in communications, science, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The global spread of English becomes a serious economic and political disadvantage to those who do not possess a reasonable command of the language since English remains the primary language used in schools and universities and majority of educational materials and references are printed in English. Learning to use English is of great importance today because academic communication tasks relate primarily in the use of English in international context. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the academic self-concept and the competencies in English among English learners in the University of Immaculate Conception. This study made use of the descriptive correlation method to determine the relationship of academic self-concept and the English competencies among the English learners in UIC. Stratified random sampling was used to determine the appropriate sample size per program. Based on the results of this study, self-confidence in academics as one of the indicators of the academic self-concept has a significant relationship with one of the competencies in English among the respondents. Thus, the teachers should be offered methodological guidance in order to work on this psycho-educational intervention that may serve as an avenue to improve academic performance.
