Online Distance Learning and Language Macro Skills Among Grade 6 Learners in Laguna Private Schools

ABSTRACT: This study aims to assess the relationship between the implementation of Online Distance Learning (ODL) and the development of language macro skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) among Grade 6 learners in selected private schools in Laguna. The research used a descriptive-correlational method to analyze data from both teachers and students. Results show that the implementation of ODL was highly effective, with a majority of students achieving advanced levels of language proficiency. A small but significant positive correlation was found between ODL implementation and macro skills development. These findings emphasize the need for continuous improvement in ODL design and pedagogy to further enhance students’ language learning outcomes.
