Abstract

This study aimed to determine the level of sociolinguistic competence in English language communication among Senior High School students from three public secondary schools in Davao Occidental. A quantitative approach, specifically a descriptive-comparative research design, was employed. The study involved 155 Tagakaolo senior high school students from the selected schools, identified using stratified random sampling. Data were gathered through an adopted survey instrument on sociolinguistic competence and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including the mean, T-test, and ANOVA. The results revealed that the students demonstrated a high level of sociolinguistic competence in English language communication. Furthermore, the study found no significant differences in the level of sociolinguistic competence when students were grouped according to grade level, Senior High School track, or school.
