Abstract:

Junior High School teachers are expected to be experts in the English Language and should possess high level of proficiency towards language education. With this, it is important that teachers are continuously given professional development activities and training programs to sustain their high-level of English proficiency. This study was conducted to assess the English proficiency levels of teachers of University of Saint Louis – Junior High School. An English Proficiency Test was administered to all teachers with emphasis on the following dimensions: Subject Verb Agreement, Use of Prepositions, Correct Usage of Words, Parts of Speech, and Tenses of Verbs. Results reveal that while some of the teachers have high level of English proficiency, still many of the teachers obtained low scores in the different areas of English. With this result, the intervention program, FLIP, showed that after the implementation of the program, the issues and concerns raised were addressed such that the language competencies of the JHS teachers across all facets specifically Verb consistency and Parts of Speech were significantly improved.
