Abstract: This research evaluated and assessed the learning competency level of the respondents in English and the different determinants that hinder their learning capability in English. It utilized descriptive survey method during the conduct of the study. To determine the subjects of the study, universal sampling techniques was utilized. In addition, respondents’ socio economic status and learning preferences were also investigated. To answer the socio economic status, a tool was used that was adopted from the Bureau of Census and National Statistics quoted from the study of Pansit (2018) on “Enhanced MTB Strategic Intervention Materials for Reading” is used with a statistical treatment on simple percentage. It was found out that education level of respondents’ parents is in Elementary level with a percentage 63.16% which means that parents could not provide an appropriate academic information to their children .Meanwhile, in determining, learning styles of the respondents, adopted questionnaire from the study of Ocampo (2018) on Pedagogical Exemplars in Mathematics Across Learning Styles utilizing weighted mean. It found out, that the highest ranked of learners’ learning style is visual which has a weighted mean of 2.36. This is a great manifestation that learners learned best if lessons were presented interestingly and visually given. Visuals that are chunked into bit of ideas for easier understanding. Hence this increases student's interest in the subject matter. Meanwhile, it was revealed that, the over-all learning competency level of the respondents, is in below average. This implies that more exposure of exercises must be done for the learners to gain mastery of these learning competencies. Therefore, it is encouraged to craft differentiated learning exemplars fitted to their learning styles and engage them on the different exercises for the improvement of their academic performance.
