Abstract

This study sought to determine the performance of fourth year Language students in editing sentences. Descriptive-correlational design was used in this study with the complete enumeration of the respondents who had taken and passed the subject in English.  The main instrument used in gathering data was in a form of a questionnaire which was adopted. Findings showed that the respondents performed low in editing sentences. In addition, there was a significant relationship between the grades of the respondents and their performance. However, the profile variables most preferred reading material in English and type of high school graduated from were not significant predictors in their performance. Therefore, it is recommended that Language students should be encouraged by their English teachers to take serious application all the aspects of editing sentences which will result to performing well in their course.
