Abstract :
The ability to listen and comprehend spoken
language is essential in developing a learner’s reading and
writing skills. This study determined the listening
comprehension, vocabulary skills, and the writing ability
of elementary learners of Misamis University. A total of
160 learners served as respondents of the study. Learners
were asked to answer the researcher-made questionnaires
with 15 questions from the audio presentation on
Listening Comprehension Skill. For the Vocabulary
Skills, the learners were asked to answer ten (10)
questions about the unfamiliar words taken from the
story they listened to. While for writing skills, the learners
were asked to write an essay or opinion about the story.
The data were analyzed statistically using the Mean,
Standard Deviation, and Pearson Product Moment
Correlation, and Stepwise Regression Analysis. The study
revealed that the learners’ listening comprehension was
fairly satisfactory, whereas the learners’ vocabulary skills
belong to the category of did not meet expectations. The
overall writing performance was fair to the learners’
listening comprehension influenced their writing
performance as to organization, development, and
content. Similarly, grammar, mechanics, and
penmanship were associated with writing performance.
The teaching of vocabulary has to be an interdisciplinary
project, integrated with all subjects at every grade level.
School heads have to include in the co-curricular plan of
activities writing contests to encourage the learners to
showcase their writing abilities
