This paper aimed to ascertain the level of grammar and written discourse competence of BA English students. Likewise, it sought to determine significant differences in the level of grammar and written discourse competence of students when they were grouped according to sex and school of origin. Moreover, it purposed to discover the relationship between grammar competence and written discourse competence. The respondents were all 77 First Year BA English students of a state college in Negros Occidental. Employing descriptive-comparative and correlational research designs, a standardized test questionnaire was used to gather data about grammar competence, and a standardized rubric to assess written discourse competence. Mean, standard deviation, t-test and Pearson r were used to gather data. The findings reveal that the level of grammar competence of the respondents when taken as a whole was average while their level of written discourse competence was high. The male respondents and those who came from private schools had high-level grammar competence while the female respondents and those who came from public schools had average-level grammar competence.
