Gathering of data and statistical treatment were also carefully done. The results of the pupils' performance in English during the Post Test were also secured. Their ratings were analyzed in relation to the assessments of the respondents on the observance of remedial English teaching program.

There was a significant difference between the assessments of the two groups of respondents on the teachers' observance of the remedial English teaching program. There was no significant relationship between the assessed observance of the remedial English teaching program and the pupils' performance in the English Area of the Post Test in terms setting teaching objectives. However, there was a significant relationship between the assessed observance of the remedial English teaching program and the pupils' performance in the English Area of Post Test in terms of adapting the curriculum, organizing the teaching materials, choosing the appropriate teaching strategies and collecting and preparing supporting materials.

Since the achieved result is extremely observed in the teachers' observance of the remedial English teaching program, it is highly recommended that the said program should be continuously implemented in order to provide learning support to pupils who lag far behind their peers in school performance. The remedial teachers should continuously adapt the curriculum to accommodate the learning characteristics and abilities of pupils. They should set some teaching objectives which are easy to achieve to ensure that pupils will acquire the desired knowledge upon the completion of the program.
