I. Title of the Project

Empowering English Teachers Through Communicative Competence:
A School-Level Upskilling Initiative in Language Instruction

II. Project Rationale

In today's knowledge-driven society, the ability to comprehend and

interpret written text effectively is paramount for students' academic success
and future endeavors. Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill that
underpins success in all subject areas. However, many students struggle with
reading comprehension due to various factors, including limited exposure to
reading materials, lack of effective reading strategies, and insufficient teacher
training in reading instruction.

This proposal, titled Empowering English Teachers Through Communicative

Competence: A School-Level Upskilling Initiative in Language Instruction, aims
to address this challenge by empowering English teachers through
professional development focused on communicative competence. By
equipping teachers with the knowledge and skills to create engaging and
effective reading instruction, we can significantly improve students' reading
comprehension abilities.

Specifically, this project will focus on:

Teacher Training and Development: Providing comprehensive training to
English teachers on evidence-based reading instruction strategies, including
comprehension monitoring, questioning techniques, and text analysis.

Classroom Implementation: Supporting teachers in implementing these

strategies in their classrooms through coaching, mentoring, and collaborative
planning sessions.

Curriculum Alignment: Ensuring that the reading curriculum aligns with national
standards and emphasizes critical thinking, analysis, and interpretation skills.

Resource Development: Providing teachers with a variety of high-quality reading

materials, including leveled texts and digital resources. By investing in teacher
professional development and providing the necessary resources, this project seeks to
create a culture of reading excellence within the division. This initiative aligns with the
Department of Education's vision of a literate and critical-thinking citizenry and will
have a lasting impact on students' reading comprehension and overall academic
achievement.
This project is grounded in the following legal frameworks: Republic Act No. 9155
(Governance of Basic Education Act), emphasizes the importance of continuous
professional development for teachers to improve the quality of education.
Department of Education Order No. 32, s. 2010, highlights the need for ongoing
training programs to enhance teachers' pedagogical skills. Philippine Professional
Standards for Teachers (PPST), outlines the necessary competencies for effective
teaching, including reading instruction. K to 12 Curriculum, provides guidelines for
reading instruction at all grade levels. By addressing the need for improved reading
comprehension, this project will contribute to the overall educational goals of the
division and the nation.
