Abstract
This study systematically reviews best practices for enhancing English proficiency among senior high school students, with a specific focus on the four macro skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Adhering to the PRISMA guidelines, the research synthesizes academic articles published between 2020 and 2025, sourced from digital academic libraries such as Scopus, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar. The review identifies that multimedia tools, including podcasts and computer-assisted language learning (CALL), significantly improved listening skills, with studies showing a 15% increase in comprehension levels. Furthermore, task-based learning and student-centered approaches were found to be effective in improving fluency in both speaking and writing. The integration of English as a medium of instruction, as stipulated by the Department of Education (DepEd), also played a key role in enhancing students' language acquisition across all four skills. Based on these findings, the study proposes a Learning Action Cell (LAC)-based enhancement program, designed to support English teachers in implementing data-driven instructional strategies. The program aims to enhance teaching efficacy by integrating technology-driven methods, fostering active student engagement, and promoting a holistic approach to language learning. This intervention offers actionable insights for educators to refine their pedagogical approaches, fostering an inclusive and technology-enhanced learning environment that empowers students to achieve greater proficiency in English.
