Varied Strategies In Improving The Linguistic Competence Of Selected Elementary Teachers: An Action Research

Abstract

This action research was conducted on the school year 2013-2014 which primarily aimed
to determine the linguistic strategies that would develop the linguistic competence
among the teachers who voluntarily participated in the study. Using the convenience
sampling, there were 18 elementary teachers who are teaching from Grade One to Six. To
meet the objective of this action research, a 100-item multiple choice type of test taken
from the study of Liozo (2011) was utilized as the research instrument. A pre-test was
first conducted and after the intervention of different varied strategies, post test was
conducted and compared. Based on the comparison of the pre-test and post-test, it is safe
to say that the strategies introduced to the teachers were able to enhance their
competence linguistically. The number represented by half of the respondents would say
that the conduct of the action research yield positive result.
