Abstract: Since globalization has been visibly taking its shape in Southeast Asian countries over the years, the Philippines have been attracting foreign students to enroll in their English as Second Language (ESL) programs. By using the Input-Process-Output model, the researcher used Karatas and Fer’s questionnaire to evaluate the English curriculum of Bulacan State University. The Area IV and Area XIII of Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines’ (AACCUP) survey instrument were also used to determine the adequacy of the physical plants and the University’s support for the students. The assessment and analysis of gathered data were done through tabulating the frequency, percentage, and mean using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results showed that the ESL curriculum was very satisfactory in harnessing the English communication skills of the foreign students. It also revealed that BulSU has provided adequate administrative support and facilities relating to their needs.
