ABSTRACT

The study aimed to determine the relationship between the challenges met by English teachers in teaching reading comprehension skills and performance of pupils. Utilizing the descriptive-correlational survey research design for an in-depth analysis of the study, the researcher utilized the researcher-made survey based on the literature review of the study and teacher-made reading comprehension test based on the 2nd quarter MELC for English. Simple Percentage, Weighted Mean and Pearson r were the statistical tools used. Results of the study revealed a significant relationship between the extent of challenges met by teachers from the pupils, learning materials, learning delivery, teachers and learning facilitators and performance of pupils in reading comprehension in distance learning. The extent of challenges met by the teachers in teaching reading comprehension skills affects the performance of the pupils. Thus, a need to overcome such challenges will help improve the performance of the pupils.
