A researcher-made instrument was employed to gather data from purposively sampled 41 English Teachers in a public senior high school. Using the frequency and percentage, mean, t-test, and one-way ANOVA in analyzing the results, findings revealed that the teachers' level of competence, when taken as a whole and grouped according to demographic variables, has a high level. The high level of competence can be attributed to teachers' training workshops. Meanwhile, the extent of the resolution of issues is moderate. The findings signify that stakeholders involved should always initiate certain programs for the continuous provision of instructional materials and design training-workshops to improve the level of competence and preparedness of the English teachers.

This descriptive-comparative research explored the level of grammar proficiency and sequencing skills in narrative writing of the Grade 7 students. Specifically, it sought to determine the significant difference in the level of grammar proficiency and sequencing skills. The 308 Grade 7 students selected through stratified proportional sampling answered the researcher-made instrument. The findings revealed that the students have a low level of grammar proficiency and average level in sequencing skills as a whole. Moreover, a significant difference exists in the level of grammar proficiency and the level of sequencing skills of students when grouped according to academic performance in English and track, while no significant difference exists when the students are classified according to sex. The results imply that students can sequence events in a narrative. However, they find difficulty in writing grammatically correct sentences. With this, instructional materials may be designed to develop the students’ proficiency in writing.

Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire (RSEQ) are used in order to collect data. For the comparison of two groups, t-test is used if the data was normally distributed, and Mann-Whitney U Test was used when normality assumptions were not met. When there are more than two groups, for normally distribute variables One-way ANOVA, and when normality assumptions were not met, Kruskal-Wallis Test were used. According to the findings, girls who are using substance had lower levels of conscientiousness compared to girls who are not using any substance. For boys, they had lower scores for extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience and higher levels of neuroticism if they are using some substance compared to the ones who are not using any substance. When age is taken into consideration, the results indicated that substance using adolescents between 17-20 had higher agreeableness scores compared to the substance using adolescents aged between 14-16. On the other hand, no significant differences were found for adolescents who are not using any substance. Moreover, there were not any significant differences based on the age onset of substance use and immigration status. For self-esteem, boys who are using substance had lower levels compared to the boys who are not using substance. There was no significant difference for the girls based on self-esteem.

Araştırmanın verileri, Beş Faktör Kişilik Envanteri (5FKE) ve Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği (RBSÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Analizlerde bağımsız iki grup karşılaştırılırken "t testi" ve normal teori varsayımlarının sağlanmadığı durumlarda ise "Mann-Whitney U Testi" kullanılmıştır. İkiden fazla grubun olduğu durumlar için "Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi ( One-Way ANOVA)" ve normal teori varsayımlarının sağlanmadığı durumlarda ise Kruskal-Wallis Testi"’ nden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, madde kullanan kızların özdenetim/sorumluluk puanlarının madde kullanmayan kızlardan daha düşük olduğu; madde kullanan erkeklerin dışadönüklük, yumuşakbaşlılık, özdenetim/sorumluluk ve gelişime açıklık puanlarının madde kullanmayan erkeklerden daha düşük, duygusal tutarsızlık puanlarının ise daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaş değişkenine göre bakıldığında, 17-20 yaş arasındaki madde kullanan ergenlerin yumuşakbaşlılık puanının 14-16 yaş arasındaki ergenlerden yüksek olduğu, madde kullanmayan ergenlerin yaş faktörüne göre kişilik özelliklerinin anlamlı farklılık göstermediği saptanmıştır. Maddeye başlama yaşına göre, madde kullanan ergenlerin kişilik özelliklerinin farklılaşmadığı aynı zamanda madde kullanan ve kullanmayan ergenlerin göç değişkenine göre kişilik özelliklerinin anlamlı farklılık göstermediği bulunmuştur. Benlik saygısı açısından incelendiğinde, madde kullanan ve kullanmayan kızların benlik saygılarının farklılaşmadığı; madde kullanan erkeklerin benlik saygılarının madde kullanmayan erkeklerden daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür.
