The resurgence of English proficiency has fallen to an abysmally low level on the ability of learners to fluently speak, read and write due to the effects on the language environment and preference as exposed in mass/social media, technology-based and printed reading materials. Thus, this study was aimed to determine the level of English Proficiency of Grade 9 Junior High Students of Jose Sanvictores Sr. National School. This descriptive-evaluative research design was employed using survey instruments which used to measure the level of proficiency in English. Findings revealed that television is the most available in their environment while the language preference of these respondents was English-Filipino. The overall level of English proficiency across eight language areas is developing. Results further revealed that there is a significant relationship between the students’ language preference and English language proficiency. Hence, Computer Aided Instructional Materials are recommended to integrate on their lessons so that low-performing students become proficient in English.
