Competencies of Alternative Learning System (ALS) Learners in English Communication: Basis for a Student Development Program

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 03

Abstract

This study examined the competencies of Alternative Learning System (ALS) learners in English communication as assessed by their teachers. The results served as a foundation for designing a student development program. Using a descriptive research design, the study assessed the proficiency levels of ALS learners in key communication skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—and identifies challenges they encounter in acquiring English language skills. Data is gathered through a survey with ALS teachers. Findings revealed varying levels of learners’ English proficiency across different areas of communication skills. Listening and speaking skills were generally strong, but weaker in providing active feedback during discussions. Viewing and reading skills were well-developed, but less proficient in critical analysis and interpretation. Writing skills were weak and struggled most with revising and editing their work for clarity and accuracy. The results underscored the importance of tailored support to bridge language gaps and improve ALS learners' opportunities for academic and professional growth.
