Abstract
This study investigated the benefits of using Facebook as a supplementary tool for improving English learning competency among Grade 10 Junior High School students at Tuburan National High School, DepEd Tuburan, during the third quarter of the academic year 2022 - 2023 as a basis for enhancement activities. The descriptive-survey approach was used in this study to collect data, which was treated using simple percentages, DepEd grading scale, weighted mean, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The data was gathered from a group of 50 students. It was also revealed that 100% of respondents utilized smartphones, while 6% used WiFi hotspots. It was discovered that 32% of the respondents visit Facebook for 02 hours each day, and 28% access it for approximately 04 hours. The data suggests that approximately 82% utilize Facebook as a social media platform to connect with people. Additionally, 42% recognize the influence of Facebook for studying purposes. Furthermore, 36% mentioned that they use Facebook to engage in conversations with friends. The overall learning competency achievement was 50.66 percent. Furthermore, the student’s impression of the SLHT domains obtained a factor average mean of 3.90 as very effective. Enhancement activities should be implemented, signifying Facebook as a supplement to English learning. In light of these observations and the identified competencies, this study advocates for the implementation of enhancement activities that formally integrate Facebook into English language instruction.
