Abstract: This descriptive-correlational study with comparative components investigated the teaching styles of Grade V English teachers and the English proficiency of their pupils in selected public schools of Lanao del Norte. Thirty teachers, 891 pupils, and 30 administrators participated as respondents. Data were collected using a validated teaching styles questionnaire and a teacher-made English proficiency test covering vocabulary, reading comprehension, and language use. Teachers employed varied teaching styles across sensory modal orientations and learning parameters, with kinesthetic, visual-verbal, global, and group-oriented approaches being dominant in several schools. Pupils’ overall English proficiency was at a satisfactory level, with vocabulary skills and language use showing variability across schools; one school achieved excellent performance. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant relationships between pupils’ English proficiency and specific teaching styles, notably auditory, global, individual, and group-oriented strategies, while teachers’ personal and professional profiles showed no significant effect. Comparative analysis indicated differences in teaching styles across schools, suggesting context-specific adaptation by teachers to meet pupils’ needs. These findings highlight the impact of teacher strategies on pupil learning outcomes and suggest that diversified, pupil-centered teaching styles can enhance English proficiency. The study underscores the importance of aligning instructional approaches with pupils’ learning preferences to optimize language acquisition.
