Abstract:
This study examined the extent of extemporaneous speaking skills
among Grade 11 HUMSS students and analyzed their relationship with
academic performance during the 2023–2024 school year. Utilizing a
descriptive-correlational research design, the researchers assessed
165 students using standardized rubrics, with evaluations conducted
by three communication experts. Academic performance was determined based on the students’ General Weighted Averages. The results
indicated that the students demonstrated extemporaneous speaking
skills to a great extent and achieved a very satisfactory level of academic
performance. A statistically significant relationship was found between
the two variables. These results support the need for targeted interventions to enhance students’ speaking abilities, which may, in turn, contribute positively to their academic achievement.
