competence, and academic performance in English among the Grade 10 students of Geras Integrated School, Isabela
City, Zamboanga Peninsula during the school year 2016-2020. This was done to provide empirical data to support

with positive learning attitudes toward the target culture and people will learn the target language more effectively than
those who do not have positive attitudes.
