Abstract:

The language proficiency and exposure to the English language among Mindanao State University-Sulu students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies (BA ELS) are the subjects of this descriptive study. It covers the age, gender, and year level demographic profiles of the respondents, as well as the level of language proficiency and exposure to English among MSU-Sulu's BA ELS students. Additionally, it addresses the noteworthy variations in language proficiency and exposure to English language among MSU-Sulu's BA ELS students when data are organized based on their age, gender, and academic year, as well as the noteworthy associations between the subcategories that fall under the umbrella of language proficiency and exposure to English language among BA ELS students at MSUSulu. MSU-Sulu was the site of the study. The BA ELS students at MSU-Sulu are the study's responders. The study's respondents were chosen through the application of purposeful sampling. There are two components to the research tool. The respondents' age, gender, and year level are all included in Part I's demographic profile. Thirteen assertions about language proficiency and nine statements about exposure to the English language make up Part II. There are five (5) options available, ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." The majority of the BA ELS students are female and in their first year of college, meaning that they are the appropriate age for their current year level. In terms of exposure to and level of language competency in English, the respondents agree. There isn't any noticeable difference in the demographic profile. There is a strong correlation between language proficiency and exposure to English
