Hector-Victory Approach and TechVoc Learners’ Oral Communication in English

Abstract

Oral communication skills are essential for success in any field, yet many Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) students struggle with confidence and fluency in English. This study investigated the effectiveness of the Hector-Victory Approach in enhancing the oral communication skills of TVL students specializing in automotive and electrical. The study was conducted at Sto. Niño National School of Arts and Trades, Division of South Cotabato. It employed a quantitative-experimental design with an experimental and control groups. Data analysis utilized Mean, Standard Deviation, and T-test. Findings indicated that the Hector-Victory Approach significantly improves oral communication skills, particularly in Content, Organization, and Mechanics. The experimental group demonstrated notable progress in Vocabulary and Confidence, highlighting the impact of structured, student-centered teaching methods in fostering effective communication. The study underscores the importance of dynamic instructional strategies in improving pronunciation, vocabulary, para-linguistic skills, and overall communication confidence. Based on the findings, it is recommended that DepEd will consider integrating the Hector-Victory Approach into the national curriculum. Curriculum developers, school administrators, and teachers should implement strategies that further enhance students’ oral proficiency. Future research is encouraged to explore the long-term impact and adaptability of this approach across diverse educational settings.
