Abstract

This study sought to determine the Technology-Based Self-Regulated Learning Strategies (TBSRLS) and English Language Proficiency (ELP) among the Grade 10 learners at the 3 private schools in Santiago City, Isabela for the School Year 2024-2025. For this purpose, 195 students were the respondents of the study. Moreover, a quantitative approach, specifically a descriptive method was utilized. An adopted survey questionnaire and a researcher-made test which underwent reliability tests were used to determine the TBSRLS and test the ELP of the respondents, respectively. Moreover, the study revealed that the Grade 10 learners had very low proficiency when it comes to their general proficiency consisting of Grammar, Vocabulary, Literature and Reading Comprehension, and Writing. The results confirmed that having TBSRLS does not necessarily result in a higher level of ELP. This study therefore recommends teachers to utilize effective use of technological tools and adapting suited learning strategies for learners to enhance ELP.
